We had many donations last year by people who could not attend, some even donated stuff knowing they would have to post it at their own cost to the winning bidder on the day, and it was most appreciated.
Many brought stuff on the day to be either auctioned on the day or used by kids during the year, or as a personal present for a forum member they had known for years but never met.
Bob Lonsdale brought a big box of his offcuts last year which have been used extensively in this academic year!
I would love to show Bob and other forum members what the kids have produced by their donations, but I keep hitting red tape legalities.
York 2 is actually for you lot!
Think of it as a social gathering!
I filled the day too much last year, but you live and learn!
Many members have known each other electronically, but never met, this year has been hopefully organised to remedy that.
Tony Wilson will be well worth a watch as his style fits in so well with the humour of the guys on here, but the day is basically yours to do with what you will.
Any money raised will be a bonus... Just have a good time!
