Thanks. Could you suggest the best place to hold at the time, if a fork were to occur or do we need to wait until confirmation and announcements upon who will adopt.

you have two choices each with risk and benefits:
1. hold bitcoin in a wallet that you are the only one having the private key. for example a paper wallet, hardware wallet, desktop wallets like core or electrum,...

the risk is that you will have to download the other coin (BTG wallet) which may be malicious, with bugs or lots of other issues and also risk waiting a long time for confirmations, and wait a long time for exchanges to list the coin and enable deposits before you can transfer the coins there and dump.

benefit is that you will be holding your "bitcoin"s safe. and you will be in full control of bitcoin and any airdrop that comes to you.

2. send your bitcoin to an exchange that promised to credit you your airdrops.
it is like BCH. bittrex promised to credit and they did it on time and well enough.

the risk is that you will be keeping your coin on an exchange. and they will control the airdrop, they may change their mind even.

benefit is that you will be the first one dumping before the price tanks. you can even enjoy all the swings in the early days (buy in the dip and dump in dead cat bounce).

If this Fork was to be confirmed. Would you agree in saying that, plenty of people will buy bitcoin and be holding BTC leading up to the Fork just to get the equivalent in BitcoinGold. ?

that is a possibility, yes.
although i don't think it will have big effects on bitcoin price though.
