    The final v1.0 (retail product) is rumoured to be VERY close some are saying 15th October

    oh yes the statue of liberty - if you are not bothered about going actually up to it you can take the staton island ferry for free - not much to do when you get there except come back but if it is sunny its a nice way to spend 90 minutes or so and it gives great picture oportunities of the statue and tyhe new york sky line form the harbour

    my brother went round the imigration museum and he said that was really interesting

    Hi Dave,

    I went there with the wife for a long weekend for our twentith wedding anniversary.

    I guess you have booked flights and hotel but if not check out the Metro Hotel, which was just round the corner from the Empire State Building, has a roof top bar, is only about 10 stories.(was rated as punching above its weight star wise when we went)

    You also got breakfast included which a lot of New york hotels dont giive you.

    We booked through british airways as a flight and hotel package

    you can walk from ground zero to times square in a couple of hours

    make a google map and put pins in the places you want to visit, that helps find a hotel (if not done already, if you have it will still help)

    go into newark, less busy than jfk

    do the empire state building early in the day, less busy

    would recommend the city bus tours early in your stay as it then gives you an idea of where things are

    bloomindales and fifth avenue for shops

    go vist grand central station,

    chrysler building you can no go up it as it is a working offic / apparment block but the 30's architecture is great (and it is an in and out visit so wont bore the kids)

    if you hotel is within striking distance of a train station get the train from the airport as the roads do get packed, not good on a ticking meter and the fair was cheap

    see times square at night, it is busy 24/7

    i will try and dig out the other stuff i had, i would definatly like to go back.....

    Ok Chaps, now that this is upon us, time to firm up some arrangements..

     

    What time are we getting there?

    Where should we meet (the Spitfire Bar has been mentioned ;)

    Your thoughts

    (I will be arriving by train into Shoreham-By-Sea train station and then either walking or getting the free shuttle.)

    Funding - Only At 60% -Update - Target Reached.

    in Jim's Place

    Posted

    I notice from the funding bar that we have only reached 60% so far.

    The Priory needs the money for the Chablis Vintage  repairs to the roof

    Can I ask that anyone that is able to donate, be it small or large please do so.

    Donations can be unsigned

     

    We have moved to a cheaper server so are trying to make all our donations work that bit harder.

     

    And as the little boy said weeing in the ocean "every little helps"

     

    Salute and thank you

     

    Edit: The 100% percent has now been reached. A very big thank you to all those that have contributed.

     

    Although the target has been reached and you still would like to contribute it is not too late. It is nice to know we would have a bit in reserve in case it was needed for any reason.

     

    Once again a big thank you.....now where is that wine list  builders list......
