nope, the downstairs hall in the main building...........at least thats what the blurb says.

it means space behind the stand is likely to be rather cosy.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

No fat boys then!!!

My car's had to go to have some work done on it but hopefully will be released back into the wild on Saturday.  Will keep you posted should plans have to change.  Also the southeast may grind to the customary halt if the threatened 1 mm of snow materialises!  I know - Southern Jessies v Northern Monkeys time!   ;D ;D

That's what I watching as well. The reailway system may well collapse early Sunday morning if we have any snow which will scupper me  :banghead: I'll keep you posted.

IPMS Stafford are on the First Floor so will be waving to you all. I'm aiming to delve deeply into the distant corners of the loft to retrieve some oldies to see if they still exist.....

RAF "Reliant" Tornado....the FSW wing/Fin version......
and the Blue Thunder RAF version...

Might be more too.....I'll keep them on the Stafford stand to pollute those upstairs :drink: :drink:

Car's back.  And as mentioned in an earlier post Chris, if the trains arestymied and you and Nick need lifts to/from MK and you can get to Uxbridge/West Drayton/West Ruislip or even Heathrow Central on Sunday morning then I'll give you a lift.

Thanks for the offer but it will be the train up to Victoria that will be the problem if we get anything like even moderate snow.

I heard that on the news this morning too.  :banghead:

I was trying to think about deversion routes, Paddington to Brum via Banbury and then to MK from the north?

I have it to hand Trevor, no probs.

Yes, I KNOW the Oxford-Bletchley line has been closed, I used to live in Oxford and I worked for BR for a time.

But they're going to re-open it and I did suggest going via Brum.............  ;)

It would be easier to go from st Pancras to Bedford then either get a bus or switch to the Bedford-Bletchly line and then Bus it to the venue.

Paddington to West Drayton and then a lift off me if you want.  PM tomorrow if you think you need one.

Well the track is open but the service "is subject to alteration" and from experience I know what that can mean  :banghead:

Seriously it's the weather that may be the killer. We are thrreatened with 3" to 5" tonight and if we get it then there won't be any real chance of getting there.

I'll take a rain (snow) check in the morning but it's begining to look like I'll see people at Huddersfield

Snow?
WE've a bit,but I'm out at a gig tonight...no probs.

Tomorrow might be fun if there's anything significant, but it's mostly motorwar and dualcarriageway for me so fingers, legs and eyes crossed, eh?

I'm 2/3 of the way there already, laden with shovels, brooms, snow boots and wellies. You never know.........
