Take a guess
Just thought I'd start a thread for the Saturday of the show to see who was going.

I read in another thread Woody had offered for folks to meet up at his, as this might not be possible for some, I wondered if it was worth organising a meet up at the show?

Something like 12 o'clock at the or near the Ashley Iles stand? No need for pink button holes :goesred: but it would be good to meet up with all the attendees from the forum.

What do you chaps think & who is going?

This whole thing has been a bloody shambles, you all need your heads knocking together.
Bless you Doug and Woody for trying to organise something but will someone actually make a decision on what's happening and when.
I am there for 3 days, Thursday, Friday. Saturday I will be coming home after another gander at the showground.
I am staying at the Premier inn Newark and will be getting drunk in the bar next door anyone wishing to join me is more than welcome.
There is plenty going on to amuse me I might even chuck the cnc in the van and run it off battery if I get bored.
Happy to go along with whatever and whoever is happening but for Flukes sake make a decision someone before it becomes a flop init?

I will definitely be there on the Saturday with the missus in tow and 12 o'clock at Ashley Isles is fine by me.
It is a possibility that I may travel down on the Friday and stay overnight but I haven't decided yet !!!
I will be calling at Woodys to drop some Cherry off and to pick up my new toy !!!!

I reckon we should all wear pink to mark the occasion Jim you would look stunning in pink evening gown.
Ed already has his outfit so no problem recognizing him if he is coming.

Doug, me and Lorraine will be in the premier inn on friday night and hope you and the wife can join us for dinner. I'm assuming its the same premier inn that brian and his wife are staying at. Saturday at 12.00 is fine by me to meet everybody.
Brian I've got a log of oak in the car with your name on it.

I'll be there, after being given the runaround by SWMBO. Woody, can I come to yours first? I can pick up the carbide tool, hand over the cash and participate in whatever swap goes on. I will have found 'found wood' in the boot if anyone is interested.
