What do you have in mind?

Possibility

Southampton has the the Maritime Museum for anyone interested in the Titanic. Another place of interest is the Old Cemetrey

Unless you have any ideas in Dorset.

I live in Kent and Canterbury would be a good choice.

Thanks for interest Gill, it's a bit chicken or egg at the moment, do I gauge the potential interest first and then look for suggestions as to venues etc. or vice versa? It seems to be going very slowly at present, perhaps I put too wide geographical parameters in the original suggestion, but I only moved to the South from Yorkshire about 2 years ago.

Thanks Jan, Southampton has been mentioned as a possible. Could that be suitable?

Hello all...I am in Surrey and might be able to come....Southampton sounds ok - or what about Porstmouth - Naval Dockyards are great and the seafront has all been done up too.
