Iowsaintsfan Posted 4 August, 2008 Posted 4 August, 2008 Anyone comming over to the island for it? if you havent been over before its a good day/night out
Saint Stimp Posted 4 August, 2008 Posted 4 August, 2008 I'm going on Friday, can't beat sitting in the sun, by the water with a few beers. Has been a great day out the past couple of years.
Gingeletiss Posted 5 August, 2008 Posted 5 August, 2008 Being a Vectonian by birth, I remember the good days of my youth, down on Cowes seafront, to watch the fireworks, spending my pocket money on glitter balls on elastic, and whistleing birds. So I agree, if you can get over there, it's a good night out.

Beckster Von Doodle Posted 5 August, 2008 Posted 5 August, 2008 Got a corporate shindig thing over there tomorrow with work and hoping to get back over there on Friday. I love the IOW.

Scummer Posted 5 August, 2008 Posted 5 August, 2008 Anyone comming over to the island for it? if you havent been over before its a good day/night out As it's Cowes week, does that mean there's fireworks etc every night? Or are we talking about one night in particular?
Jillyanne Posted 5 August, 2008 Posted 5 August, 2008 As it's Cowes week, does that mean there's fireworks etc every night? Or are we talking about one night in particular? Fireworks on Friday night.
miserableoldgit Posted 5 August, 2008 Posted 5 August, 2008 Went over on Sunday to see my daughter singing in a band. Had a good day - until it started to **** down.
Beckster Von Doodle Posted 5 August, 2008 Posted 5 August, 2008 Skandia? I wish .... its with our bank but the people I'm going with are a good laugh so should be fun.
saints_is_the_south Posted 5 August, 2008 Posted 5 August, 2008 Going down to Lepe beach on Friday night with a BBQ & a few beers, should be good if the weather is ok.
nathan Posted 5 August, 2008 Posted 5 August, 2008 I went over last night for our works do (Skandia) and it is always a good night. Beer (was free last night), music, and (if you can be bothered) sailing!

Iowsaintsfan Posted 9 August, 2008 Author Posted 9 August, 2008 was abit dissapointed with the fireworks last night, but the Red Arrows where class, dont see things like that too often while having a nice bbq on the beach and a couple of drinks will upload some pics later if i can be bothered

Nutwood2 Posted 9 August, 2008 Posted 9 August, 2008 They flew over my house in sunny Stubbington as well. I agree. A fantastic sight.
Al de Man Posted 9 August, 2008 Posted 9 August, 2008 I thought it was a bit extravagant for them to do a fly-by just because I was washing the car.
St Landrew Posted 9 August, 2008 Posted 9 August, 2008 Didn't do any sailing at all and missed the entire week. Think I'm losing my touch.

First time I have been to Cowes for the Friday fireworks and thought it was really good.
Crouchie's Lawyer Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 I went on the round the island boat race a few years ago, t'was very good. Want to do it again, but time and money are of a premium at the moment!
