Yep.

Thanks for the photos Martin  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Yep.

That would be Stu Fon the editor. He attends most of the "big" shows either with the amw sales stand ir as part of ipms brampton.

The Wooksta!

There were a few traders conspicuous by their absence.  Glenn Ashley wasn't there and, thankfully neither was wockney canker Uncle Albert from Kit Crazy.  I hate that man with a passion you can barely dream of.

Yeah, I noticed the latter's absence too - mostly audibly... ;)

It's not just his noise, it's more his crass stupidity.  At the last show at the old Huddersfield venue (not the newer one that they got kicked out of for not being "inclusive" enough"), he spread his stuff around, as he does, creating trip hazards and blocking a fire exit.  On the same day that there was a fire evacuation.  Thankfully, it was a false alarm.

That could have had the show closed down and frankly, he should have been blacklisted for that.

Thanks for sharing these, Martin - some great work on show.

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Lightweight.  I'd have it cleaned up by the end of the show. Possibly part assembled.
