Midlands Show 2014

[Jo]

I was just wondering if anyone was planning on going to the Midlands show at the end of next week.

This year I am being taken  on thursday (16th). My plan is as normal to buy all the desirable cheap/desirable/orphaned casting sets

I'm planning on going Thursday too, as is I believe Ramon and possibly Chris.

I am hoping to go on Friday, so sadly I shall not be able to put a face to the names.

My best regards

I'm planning to go on Thursday.

I'm hoping against hope that I might find some Cowells bits for M14x 1.5 spindle, such as collet chuck or even some collets for the Cowells mill.  Very very  long shot I know.  Of course Jo could always put some of the of spares she holds onto the market.

I to will be there on Thurs, would it be an idea to name a time and place to meet up, like 1pm at the entrance and make a sticker with MEM on it so we will know who is who?

It's great that your mania is for castings rather than cats.

Now that Sexy has gained a new dividing head I might be able to be talked out of my spare Collet chuck and metric/imperial collets for casting tokens 

Jo

[Twizseven]

Looks like you've sold them then

Though I suppose I should check how many casting tokens you require

I'm going, got the tickets.  Looks like it's going to be Thursday

Jo,

Thanks for the lovely picture. Cant wait to see them spinning around.

[Ramon Wilson]

I'm still waiting for mine, should be here tomorrow. Won't get much time there though - our coach leaves at eight arrives twelve and leaves at four but looking forwards to meeting up again.

I'm up for buying some bits for the new mill

It's been some years ago, the last time around 1999 at Donington Park, but I've been to a couple of Midlands shows and enjoyed them both very much.  It looks like there's a bumper crop of traders this year.

Thursday? Let's see what I can organise at work . Hope to see you there.

[Jo]

A few more plans: I hope to be first in the cue on Thursday at 10 am 

If I don't bump into you before hand I will be sitting in the canteen area having lunch just before 12, so please come an join me.

Tug: I assume that you will want to do at least a first round of the show before we sit down for a chin wag over coffee so how is 2pm in the Canteen area?

I will have to think of something noticeable to wear as this year I am not planning on buying 1/2 ton of castings
