WhatIF SIG UK History

[PR19_Kit]

I tried to post this in the UK SIG pages, but there's no 'New Topic' menu item there, so I'll have to open it to a wider audience.....

Which year was the notorious Peterborough Nationals when the WhatIf Sig was formed please? Yeah, I KNOW I was there, but I'm damned if I can remember which year it was, sometime in the late 80s or early 90s I think. 

And what was the name of the original SIG secretary, a tall blonde or read haired guy who was an excellent car modeller as well?

I'd like to know the date for my Kolumn in the forthcoming SIG Newsletter.

Before my time, but I'm guessing at 1992, as the first time I saw the SIG was when Ian Hartup was displaying at the Northern show in '93.  I joined a year later at Donnington. I also met you for the first time that day.

From what I've heard, the initial members were Ian Hartup (viva el presidente!), Hayden of the USAF SIG, Ian Crawford, and Terry Campion.  You must have been Red Five, as SIG's and branches need five to get started.

Hope that's of some help.

It is Lee, LOTS of help, thanks so much. 

Mike McEvoy and I were there as well, but I was late, having come over on the Hook-Harwich ferry that morning, and had to park in the town centre and get there by bus!

Can't help with the info I'm afraid Kit, way before my time, but to open a new topic you just open it in whichever of the existing sub-headings you feel it fits best into. Or am I misunderstanding something ?

Or am I misunderstanding something ?

Yes. 

I needed the info for the Kolumn that I sent you last night, and Lee came up with BOTH answers in one post.
