And I'll be ready in three!:devil:

I'm sorry I haven't posted any work or said much for a while but this has taken a lot of time to put together!

As long as you all have a good time on the day, it's been worth it!

I met with Walter and Philip on Thursday, and the finer points of the turning demonstrations are now sorted, but you will have to wait until the day to see what they are. I can only say you will not be disappointed!
I'll reserve the thanks until after the day, if that's okay, as that is a whole lot of other work, but you know who you are:bwink:

I'm working on getting some comfier chairs for our "older" members who will be attending:whistling:

If you require a comfy chair, let me know and you will be put in the "officially old" section.:face:

I'll keep you updated!

Regards,
Neil

Years ago with tapes of woodwork my dearly beloved suggested I stand to view the voice overs were so monotone they were conducive to quick snoozes. The same with demos wish you well as you get together soon now.:thumbs:

Dun it again last night, got up to go loo and woke up on the landing floor.

I made a little headway today!
The room that the main demonstrations will be held in is now nearly ready for use.
The nasty plastic topped stools have been stacked up, and I have 8 comfy chairs so far! The rest of you will be in exam chairs. These are better than the nasty plastic stools, but you will get what you are given, depending on medical conditions!:funny:
I should say that I am open to bribes at this point!:devil:

We are insured for £13 million public liability for the day, but if anyone (not from this forum), decides to take the "P"
please be aware that I have the qualifications and the backup to counter any shenanigans!:funny::bwink:
If you do see any one without an official School or day pass in the area we are in, please let me know on the day and I'll deal with it!
Legally yours,
Neil :whistling:

Hi Neil
I asked the question on a different thread (I think). Definite candidate for a comfy chair btw as I can feel my back problem coming on.:winking:

Anyway - Those of us bringing auction lots etc. will need to unload them and carry into the building. Do we need to get there early and can we get the cars to the door to unload?

I agree with Bob, it would be nice to know if we need to be there early with our lots :thumbs:

I think we all want a comfy chair Neil bloody ol codgers init?
I am better off laying flat, cant fall over then, the nearer the floor the less distance to make contact with it.
Trouble is the bloody floors ain't half low up Norf init?

Doc it ain't blood pressure that has always been low, it was when i had the MI.
Local quack can't find anything wrong that's why he wants me back under specialist.
I don't know it's happening only what other people tell me.
