Just wanted to add my thanks to everyone for sharing your experiences and pictures of the show.  Looks like it was a great show!

Zee, Bill, Hugh and Don - glad we could reciprocate, I felt very much the same when we got to see all of you guys.

It was back to the usual routine today but lot's of 'flashbacks' - Sue and I sat in the sun with a cup of tea this afternoon reliving it all. Despite that awful drive down we were even discussing the possibility of next year  ;D

Zee - I hope you realise that all these pics were taken with you firmly in mind - not a 'Knee' in sight  ;D -  and BTW, we'll reserve you a space  ;)

Regards - Ramon

Bummer.  :'(

and BTW, we'll reserve you a space 

If there is any way I can make it some year...I will be there. I've told T many times...if we're anywhere near on our next visit...I'm there.
And the foreign food is the best around.
Foreign food.  ;D
IF you know what I mean.  :Lol:

Thanks again everyone. Getting the pictures and seeing you all is the next best thing to being there.
Makes me wish Cabin Fever wasn't so long away.

I know the UK gets a bad rap on food...but I remember one time I was over on business and took a long walk into an out of the way neighborhood and found a pub. Best chicken I'd ever had.

I've never told T.

You should have seen the look on Eric's face on the Saturday morning when I didn't turn up in that skirt again :lolb: It was a bit wet, and you know how horrible tee shirts go when they get wet :ShakeHead:

Tug we will have to see if we can find you a better hotel nearer the site and a few nice places to eat  ;)

Next year we will have to see if you can get a visit to model engine heaven  :pinkelephant:

Jo - that's already under consideration   :D - coming down a day earlier seems to be a very sensible and viable option  ;)

The hotel was fine (and reasonable) but perhaps an alternative place to eat wouldn't go amiss.

I was - and still am - in the throes of some model room improvements before the weekend but now there's this strange desire to create  some ally swarf instead of wood dust  :o - wonder what's caused that?

Thanks Jason - I missed David at the show but heard from him on Monday - looks like he's going to resurrect the Super Tigre build now that the Eta has come to an end.

Just outstanding!! Beautiful engines. Thanks so much for sharing it all.
I may have missed it, but there does not seem to be any of Elmer's engines.
Is this correct? If so, I have half a mind to bring a slew of mine over there next year.
Best,
Stan

Now that would be something Stan - we'll make a space for you. Pick Zee up on the way too ;)
