I Dream of Dreamland Event

This event should be very good personal timing for me as it's one day before my Dad's birthday. I hope to be around the area to pay this a visit.

Another good excuse for a social too of course!

Hope to meet up again with some familiar people soon.

Martin

PS Love the artwork "poster"

Hi all,

Just had an idea to print out this event "poster" on A4 paper and put some up around my offices where I work to entice some extra people to attend. (I'll be doing my best during the coming week to broadcast the news further by talking to as many people as possible).

A few fellow colleagues have voiced their memories of Dreamland to me fairly recently so this should be a good opportunity to maybe get a few more involved, and hopefully attract to this Campaign.

Looking forward to the upcoming event (Still can't exactly gauge where the venue is though, unless I'm being stupid!) Perhaps someone can guide me a bit with the location - have to check a street map otherwise

I won't be able to get to this event, unfortunately :( , but if the organisers want more publicity it might be worth posting details on some of the Facebook sites - eg. Planet Thanet, Rebuild the Scenic Railway, and Bring Back Dreamland, some of which have a large membership.

I hope it goes really well, and look forward to hearing about it :D

Hello

The event has a Facebook page here

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=5 ... 871&ref=mf

I've asked Admins in related groups to promote it, but the best way is for lots of people to tell all their friends. All publicity welcome!

Sadly I can't make it. He have our first CoasterForce event of the year this weekend (been arranged for about three or four months).

I'll put up a news item on the front end of CoasterForce though, and talk about the unveiling of the new plans.

Good luck with it!

We would have loved to have come to this. Sadly, being a Sunday evening and 200 miles away it is impossible with work on Monday etc.

We shall be thinking of you all having a good time, wishing we were there seeing and hearing all the latest exciting news!

Enjoy yourselves!
