Hi Billy, welcome from another newbie. I'll be driving down to Newark from Manchester for the show on the Saturday, dropping her in doors off at her sons in Lincoln en route. Might bump into you there

Chas, hopefully we will bump into each other, these old hands seem to have a plan to meet up, might have to arrange a fringe meeting so that we can observe & learn

There's no Diamond Lills, no tacky strip joiint on Union Street, but I know lills went yonks ago and I bet the old boy who used to sweep the broken glass off the strip joint floor before each performance probably died years ago so thats probably been cleaned up, no fun these councils?

Don't be daft, don't be shy, just wave a pen high in sky, we'll soon find you.
This is one big happy family and you are now part of it init?

Welcome Billy, you've just joined the worlds largest sanatorium. They're all mad, don't make contact, run away. wait a minute, the tablets are kicking in.... no no, they're all great :funny:

Take Woody up on his offer, you'll do far worse and he might even give you a ride in his new car... straight to your woodpile.

I look forward to seeing some of your first efforts, good luck on your course and don't forget your camera.

Welcome Billy, it looks like you have had a great welcome from the mad house. Enjoy it and take it all in for a while, as you say, sit back and observe might be a good idea. You don't want to be taken away with the men in white coats as well do you now.:funny:

What a great welcome from you all, thank you.

Looking forward to meeting many of you in Newark next week, luckily just a short drive up the road for me.

I need to make a start now, that will be today under the guidance of T/R, later in the week going solo when I have my workbench built down at Sheddington.

Sheddington is my little oasis at the bottom of the garden where I can do anything I want, for as long as I like or at least until Margaret calls me for something she seems to think is more important than whatever it is I may be doing.
