Could all who are coming (newcomers or not) please email me helenbmerry@manx.net to confirm, giving details of arrival, whether by air or boat, if you're bringing a vehicle, and whether you need accommodation?
This will help me enormously with organisation and I can put together an email group to send you all information.
Still plenty time to add yourself if you've not been in touch already. All welcome, wheteher definitely entering or just looking, newcomer or old lag!

Just trying to work out if its going to be easiest/cheapest to fly or go buy boat as a foot passenger. Do you know if anyone else is heading over from the London area?

ryan we often fly via london gatwick...we use flybee.....check it out but dont reserve a specific seat if you book as they charge extra as well as luggage(so cancel the luggage charge...limited to 10kg hand luggage)...its about £100 return...takes 1-20mins so saves heaps of time in travel too....ta matt dix

They'll just go up. The days of cheap standby and last minute flights are gone. Try an earlier or later flight. Come Saturday if it's early enough. That's an awful lot of money. :(
