Hi PussyC,

Exactly where in the Castle grounds please?  It is pretty big and if the weather is nice should be crammed with people.

Nocturnia Pussycat

Very sorry. I'm not able to get on the net all the time and didn't see your post until today. We're going to try to set up meetings every month though if you're still interested and we now have a email address - www.greatkentspectations@hotmail.co.uk and we're on facebook. Sorry again.

frances

Oh well, the weather was nice.  Sad that I did not get to meet up with you though.

Can you let me know when/where you will next meet.

Reverend Panic

OK, time to get back into this, stuff's been mad busy for me recently, just put a few updates onto the Atlas site, the Kent group is there, yadayadayada. I've missed you all, somewhat fierce. FIERCE.

Good day all,

P.A.S.T.S. has now not only a facebook group page but has opened a meet-up group page as well. To join either or both, if you reside in the central south coast / Solent area, please go to the appropriate web pages. The more members we have, the more opportunities we have to socialise and promenade in our finest alternative historical attire to impress and mystify the native muggles of this fair land. If you are a member of an existing steampunk (or similar) group in the wider area - Bournemouth , Brighton, Bristol, you will still be welcomed within P.A.S.T.S as we are all sibling groups of the same superb great steampunk genre and welcome each other with civility and respect.

P.A.S.T.S on facebook go to  -   https://www.facebook.com/groups/302759246517155/

P.A.S.T.S on meet up go to   -   http://www.meetup.com/PASTS-Portsmouth-Southampton-Time-Travelling-Steampunks/
