Anyone else going

few of us went last year and it was an enjoyable day, the steam engines and model tanks outside were particularly entertaining

Clicky Link

I've just booked a couple of tickets for me and my eldest son, hopefully see some of you other reprobates there

Were going on the Saturday, 17th October and should be there for about 10:30am (ish)

I'm there all show on the ARC stand.
We will have the two CNC running and cutting something, probably bloody loco wheels again.

I've been press ganged into giving a talk on the Saturday and Sunday on something CNC related.

I'm a bit hard pressed this year

I'll have to see nearer the day.

Was quite entertaining as you said CC. I think I got a video of the tanks stuff. Not sure if I ever posted it?... Nope! never did?!?

Anyhow, I'll see nearer the day, thanks for the heads up

Ralph.

I knew that one was coming

He likes the local ME club track, is there anything he can ride on?

sbwhart · « **Reply #10 on:** September 30, 2009, 03:48:28 PM »

Hi 28ten

Yes they usually have a low level track you can take rides on and sometimes they have traction engines giving rides.

I hope he enjoys it

Cheers

You all have fun though.... oh and as you are all no doubt aware.....

I suspect you'll not be the only one

.............. Mr Stephenson, I'll see you there, is it your round this year

............. can you make sure you have a "Stevenson's 5C Indexing Head with ER32 Nut and Adaptor" and a tailstock

CC

John Stevenson · « **Reply #21 on:** October 15, 2009, 01:43:41 PM »

OK put one on one side for you for Saturday, might have a bit of time them, Friday is real hectic and you don't have time to talk which is a pity.

Everyone insists on going Friday to miss the weekend crush not realising that they ARE the crush.
Saturday and Sunday are far better days to go and kids are never a problem at these sort of shows.

Thanks John

See you Saturday ........... my son is 30 so he should be well behaved

............ anyway he's driving so no orange juice for me this year

raynerd · « **Reply #23 on:** October 15, 2009, 03:15:10 PM »

Trying to persuade my wife to come with me but we have a 11 month daughter, good as gold normally but it is the 2 1/2 hour car trip either way that is making it look less likely.

Chris

sbwhart · « **Reply #24 on:** October 15, 2009, 04:05:31 PM »

I'll be there Saturday with my wife

I'm after one of those Stevensons indexing heads as well.

John (Bogs) anything you want picking up just give us a call

Cheers

Stew
