4114 forum posts 1 photos | Are you there all three days Ben? ........and is there a GW stand, or are you demonstrating under your own name?
Weather permitting, I'll catch up with you, and any other GW member I find, on Friday.

All being well I'll be there all three days. Pretty sure I'm competing in the university challenge for most of Sunday.
I haven't received a timetable for the demonstrations yet so not sure when I'll be needed. Try the My Hobby Store stand. They should be able to tell you where I am.
Look forward to seeing you there!

Have a great time all who do go.

4114 forum posts 1 photos | Sorry to have missed you Ben.........but a nice girl from the Hobby Store advertising department recognised me from my avatar. That made me smile! I also had a chat with Andy King........nice guy.........the fact that he had time for 10 minutes chewing the cud with me shows how busy the show wasn't this morning. I thik the poor chap is going to have a long weekend!
I'm sure others will post on their experience.........but there was to my mind a bit missing from the show. There was very little in the way of hand-tools...............Ashley Iles was a notable exception, and there was a small Clifton presence (I've realised that my old nameless 4-1/2 is actually quite a decent bit of kit, because it can do everything that the Clifton equivalent can do).........
But the thing I really miss is a decent display of quality joinery. A few prize winners, or professional pieces, would have been much appreciated. There were, of course, lots of round things to look at.
Anyway, I hope the rest of you enjoyed it.......
