If I can I'll make it  :ddb:


I should be fit enough by then but I have lots of car shows to check the dates on too!

Never mind, John. I'll be near Bordeaux, and will think of you all in that crowded cafe at the show as I quaff my lunchtime glass of the 2009 or 2010 (both excellent vintages) on the terrace...

I am coming over as well. It would be great to meet some of you blokes and put faces to names (and aliases).

How will I know you (except for John Stevenson who will be locked to the CNC)?

I will be wandering around with one of my business cards pinned on. It shows my ugly mug as per the avatar and my name. Please make yourself known to me if you see a jetlagged old bloke looking overwhelmed or hungover or both.

I will definitely be there on Saturday with John Somers and will try to make it on Friday as well although there is a lot to see and we have to make it to the National Rail Museum etc.

BTW Are any of you coming from Arc Eurotrade and if so, could you bring a couple of arbors to save me the trip to the store?

Hi Peter,

No, not to Harrogate. I did make it to Bristol a couple of years ago  and enjoyed that.

We only have one show here each year and that alternates between Bendigo and Melbourne so I was interested to compare it with Bristol (much the same). I probably don't have too many more trips of this duration left in me and I have a few friends over your way so I thought I would come over, have a look at Harrogate and meet a few people.

It is a big trip starting in Glasgow and finishing 3 weeks later in Amsterdam doing the boys techie tour with another mature member of the fringe fraternity so we won't be standing still for too long.

John already has the tickets for Saturday so that is on for sure. Friday is a maybe. But since we are booked in overnight in Wetherby and have to get to Leamington Spa for the National Vintage Communications Fair on Sunday, we will be busy little people.

Packing has started. We leave next Sunday so next week is the week for all the last minute things. I am looking forward to it.

Jim

Just finished loading the truck up, be off in a few minutes.
Pop in on the ARC stand, against the doors, second hall, if you get chance.
