OK Guys, it looks like Starship Impreza and I are taking over from Marcus in organising the trip.
There's no plan at the moment but our man on the island (Rosco) has suggested the Ryde Castle (in Ryde
)as a hotel, and it looks and sounds quite nice
though there's no pool
We will endeavour to organise a group discount on the rooms.
We were thinking about going over at the beginning of September.
Since so many people stayed in the hotel in Southampton last year, how about going for 2 nights?
meet at the docks for "say" 7 o'clock ferry, then we have time to get to the hotel and hit the bar or bed by 8.30/9.00
Then we get the second night out on the town (if that's your thing) without all the drivers falling asleep!!!
We would get a whole two days there instead of one and a half and No early starts
Maybe head for the 5 o'clock ferry home as some would have quite a long drive ahead of them.
What do you lot think?
Anyone up for this? The last one was a really good laugh

We stayed at the Ryde Castle Hotel a few years back - big car park etc - in fact we drove past it last time - it was near the photoshoot on the seafront. It's under new management now but sounds just about right!
We are keen on this - yes sir!

First of all, thanks to Iain and Gary for taking this on.
Just so everyone knows, the reason for my ducking out is, as some of you know, I'm split between the UK and USA, which makes sorting out this stuff, well, not easy, plus I'm a lightweight
Suffice to say that if I'm in the country at the time, count me in. I'm more than happy to book a place and then have to give it up to someone else at a later date.
Oh, and guys, the official name for the trip is:
IOW 2: Return of the Scooby
Was going to be revenge but we all know that revenge leads to the dark side
once again, cheers guys.

Rosco,
If you're lurking on here, what's the current prices for petrol on the IOW and one assumes you can get Optimax somewhere on the island.
Kim,
Good point about the beer money, I best start saving now!

I'm not doing the SIDC Manx birthday bash. It's simply too far for me.
fingers crossed I can make IOW, sods law says I'll be in the USA, but I'm planning on taking some holiday, so if I'm in the USA I'll fly back just for the IOW trip, madman that I am!

ChrisB,
I will try to arrange it so it doesn't clash with the IoM or Trax, but I suspect the IoM (as Marcus says) is a little to far for most of us Shandy drinkers
Are there any dates people can't make in September?
(Andy O, I know your away the second weekend)
Iain.

This will be more of a social trip, though some nice roads are included.
We will get to see the sights of the IoW and have a nice drive between them.

All the best to Lyn & yourself.

Gary & Iain,
Sorry about you guys getting *serverly* nagged into doing this (hope that the girls are not reading this, otherwise I'm a dead man!)
Thanks for doing it though. I do want a place though, as I might be in the UK, and if not, then I will try and fly back especially for it!
