Folks - apologies but those who follow me on FaceBook know i've been pretty much on the road in the US and Europe for the last few weeks so time has not been on my side. I'll post an updated entry list in a short while.

Exactly whereabouts is the event going to be located?
Thanks in advance for your reply!
Thanks for your reply fox fish, I should have been more precise..
Whereabouts in Guernsey? I ask because I wish to be staying as close to the event as possible.
Is it a St Peter Port?
Thanks again! Suppose i'll be seeing you there

There seems to be 3 rooms left here http://www.booking.com/hotel/gb/the-peninsula.en-gb.html?aid=311076;label=hotel-36132-gb-LksEui07bP0aHk1uy7o5*wS12485661300l:ta12:ac1106580:ap1t1:neg;sid=27f1ec3c6f9917c9c956a01f6c2ad9be;dcid=1;ucfs=1;srfid=4a7626b318d502559124b8887d696b4a66cfdb71X1
nice hotel right on the beach...
Nothing is going to be cheap at this stage as we are a tourist venue in the summer but pm me your budget & I can look for you if the Peninsular is to expensive..

FoxFish really thanks for your help! And I also appreciate you offering help in moving us around, but old habits die hard, and being an ex Marine I like to be able to count on myself for pretty much everything.
Also some family members are considering visiting from France whislt i'm on the island, therefore am trying to plan out which would be the closest accommodation to the main point of activity during the meet up, to make family members move as little as possible.
Therefore I would appreciate If you could, that's if you know, please indicate the exact location where the activities during the weekend will be.
Once again, Thanks for you help!

I can't as we don't know!
Due to the nature of our island, the venues will be chosen nearer the time.
Because Guernsey is so small we can choose a calm location to suit the weather conditions almost on the day!
So we have a choice of venues on different coasts, however the prefered coast for spearfishing in the west & posibily the south for free diving!
Just bear in mind, the longest point to point of guernsey is only 9 miles.
St Peter port has the most atmosphere & may suit you family best.
On the Friday evening we will be socializing in the Wayside Cheer hotel, that is on the West coast about 4 miles from st perter port, on the sat evening we are in a st peter port restaurant & on the Sunday evening we are in the north of the island about 3 miles from st Peter port.
I think your family will find St Peter port interesting & possibly quite sociable as well, we normally have lots of French visitors in the summer & the harbours are very often full of French yachts.

Really looking forward to this! Hope the weather/vis holds out!
Well yes and no, we are already in a drought situation, my lawn is looking sad ,what with our Heather Watson loosing at Wimbledon today & the rain missing us it has been a disappointing day
Granti, I found these outside the campsite this morning!
Very nice Mart but I'm sure if you look closely at those fish they actually have my name on them
Good to see the 115 Dry Barrel out - you must have some decent vis I've got a new piston and seals in mine ready for Guernsey.
Not long now

Nice gun, nice fins, and nice fish
We will soon be closing the registration so we can finalise numbers & get you guys to choose your menus for the Friday & Saturday social evenings.
So anyone wanting to attend please get on with it now
You don't have to get involved in the spearfishing or freediving, if you just want to join us in the evenings that is ok.
Jersey guys, you have not registered for the sat meal but it will be right in town anyway, the restaurant is booked for 40 but we only have about 20 coming so far!
