Well done Neil L

Woody · Jul 18, 2015

Thank you Neil and Ali for putting on such a wonderful day it was good to see old friends and some new ones the auction was a blast I ended up buying one of my own bowls

Indie Shed · Jul 18, 2015

Echo all above comments, brilliantly organised and can't wait to do it again. :thumbs:

johns486 · Jul 18, 2015

Gutted that I couldn't go had some issues at home I was really looking forward to it plus I missed out on spending some money. Hopefully there will be another one somewhere.

Proper day out that. Organisation was first class. The demo was very informative and amusing. The auction went well but I'm sure I really didn't bid on Woody' tazza lol but it's now been donated to the daughter. It was great to catch up with friends old and new. I'm just sat having a cup of tea now with four different pieces of cake to choose from.
Neil please convey my thanks to Ali and the rest of the catering girls - they should be on masterchef.

donwatson · Jul 18, 2015

I will try to make it if it happens again. :sob:

Unless PaulM set you up Keith, you did bid on the Tazza, Senior moment perhaps?

Ali says hope you enjoy the cake!

Speaking of senior moments Neil did I win one of the woodturning magazine subscriptions? If I did I didn't leave my address.
Age catching up on me perhaps.

Aye, as a first timer I had a great day. It was really good to meet other forum members and whoever put together the food wants recommending for sainthood. The chips especially were crackingly good!

Neil Lawton · Jul 18, 2015

A few Thank you's!

Before the beer really kicks in, I would like to thank everyone who made York 2 possible.

Many thanks to Walter for your help with the Auction. This took a lot of stress out of my day! :thumbs:

Geordie did a brilliant job, though I'm now not sure what the common name of Juglans regia is now!
Is it Welnut, Wulnut, or Walnut, or Waaalut? :ciggrin:

My sister Tina home baked the cakes, now known as the Keith section! :funny:

... And my beautiful Wood Fairy sorted the rest of it out!:iluvu:

Thanks to all that came, or gave your support. :thumbs:

Regards,
Neil

I think you were outbid Keith, but now is not the time to check, I'll look tomorrow.

Jim · Jul 18, 2015

Had a great time, demo was bang on, snap was bang on (Thank You Ladies) and i stuck to my diet of only one piece of cake .. Had the place been empty i would have took more .. :whistling:

Special thanks to you guys who made the long trek to this meet, a big thanks to Neil for making this happen, nice to meet Robbie for the first time though being in the same sized area on two occasions .. :winking:

I could go on but i would start sounding weird with all the accolades coming out of me gob, but i will finish on just one last one .. Great to see you at the auction and looking so well Terry .. :thumbs:

It was great meeting everyone again, and of cause seeing new faces ..

Lesson to Keith, keep of the ale when looking at the auction pages .. :devil:

I bought Walters book to learn the art of pen and pick up some tips .. :thumbs:

All pages merged together .. Saves answering to all of them ..

You are most welcome Neil. That's what accountants are for.

Its Warlnut. :funny:

Geordie lesson part 1:

Take any vowel, either remove it and use a different one or lengthen the sound until it is unrecognisable. Thus the following conversation might be heard in Ashington:

Aahve failed me driving test 'cos a ran ower a kerb.

Failed just for hittin' a korb?

Nah, not a korb, a kerb and it was berb a jerb week an arl ye knaa.

Neil Lawton · Jul 18, 2015

You bought Walters book, and it's all merged together Jim? :funny:

Bill Mooney · Jul 18, 2015

Neil it's all been said but I echo every sentiment. A cracking day thanks to you & your gang of little helpers. Loved meeting up with old & new friends & I have to say a BIG THANK YOU to Woody & everyone who contributed to the Blind Veterans corner, I was overwhelmed by the response. I've just finished at ten o'clock sorting the stuff out. For me it has been a real bloody good day but the highlight of the day was seeing the smiling face of Terry with his better half, it was a treat. :thumbs:
