Date Feb 15th. usual opening times. (10am for joe public)
Location. Huddersfield sports center. Southgate. Huddersfield. HD1 1TW

the SIG will have a small stand at this show. (6 foot frontage/double depth) so not much space is available. As a result I have asked the membership to expect no more than two of their own models to be on the stand at any one time. That includes Me as well. And space behind the stand will also be very limited.

We are haveing a small tribute to Mick Buller, one of our own who sadly died last year. And Huddersfield was his local show. the subject matter is Japanese whiffs. This little mini theme will be in the center of the stand.

I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

Heck I'm the guy with a thousand names!  I'm Mike here, Geoff B was calling me James....!

Once upon a time I used to get called Suki... it was the dogs name before anyone asks!  I don't know if that makes it any better.....???

Oh, I'm Simon by the way! :lol:

No probs Steve!  Somehow people tend to forget my name often (strangely, I used to get called Steve a lot at one time)!  I often get my brothers name, even from people who don't know I have a brother.  At work I get called Martin, which is my bosses name.  When I lived at home, my Dad would go through every member in the family before he got your name, although I think I was the only one to get the Dogs!  There was one fella I worked with who always called me Paul (which was his name too).  I corrected him several times, but he was still convinced I was Paul, & argued it with others when they called me Simon, I got to the point were I let him call me it!
:blink:

Oh & that goes without the nicknames, too many to list here!  I don't worry too much about my name, except it drives me nuts when people spell my surname wrong, it's such a simple spelling!

Gotta say it was a good turn out and a really good show/day.
Not often we all get to share a good gabfest.( I managed to go totally laterel with Raddish)
Not too much room ,but a good breadth of subjects.

Big thanks to all who put so much work into making it a success,as usual my latest a "Japanese Vigilante" wasnt finished in time so will have to make an appearance on the projects page.
