King's Pyrate Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I'd like to invite you all to the 2006 Hornblower Convention in Williamsburg, October 12-15. I am saving my doubloons for the trip from Florida. There will be a website up by the end of the month......I'll post a link as soon as it comes on line.

Rumba Rue Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I've been into the Hornblower Gatherings as they are called- not conventions since the beginning. (There are no dealers, no panels, no guest speakers- just a bunch of people who like Hornblower) I went to Tempe for one, I've been to Canada for one. Couldn't afford to go to England last year. I've been talkin' with those gals for many o' year. They show the movies from A & E, and funny comments are made. There's usually a poster contest and other things o' that sort. They go see the sights of the port they be in. For more information and things to talk about, go to: Horatio Hornblower, go down to Upcoming Events.

William Brand Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I'm a fan. I just happen to be joining some friends this evening to watch Horatio. We've been getting together every few weeks or so to watch the films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More men are slowly becoming involved but they do a lot of gushing over the actors...this time the men folks promises me a tankard at Hooters so we can do some gushing of our own....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
