talking of the scots nats so to speak.....

I am reminded of the year I went with nick on the sleeper overnight from Euston to Perth  :banghead: I had a cold  and so missed the curry with the lads.

and I seem to recall aircav had some inert and interesting bit of ordinance on the stand. where'd it go?  :cheers: as I haven't seen it since.

I came back from Perth mind you with a bargain from their kitswap..... a 1/72 italeri AC-119G/K for just £5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are we planning to go to the IPMS Scotland formal dinner like last year? Do we need to book our table in advance?

we normaly book up during the day. when they send Geoff Crow around to drum up ticket sales.

Hopefully Geoff will be back to good health by the time of the show. Joe informed me earlier this week that he has been taken ill of late.
I always hope for the best.

This should be the start of my week holiday in Scotland walking up the hills.

How you getting down them ? Rolling, sliding, tumbling ?  ;D
SAR Seaking ?

Could be your last chance for a Sea King, so grab it while you can.

As to where we are going to eat and drink on the Saturday night, I am game for anywhere.  :rolleyes:

NO fun!

I've been there and appreciate your situation. If they suggest that you need to be in hospital take them up on it.

Take care mate
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I know a nice curry house just down the road from the hall itself.  Hottest Madras I've ever had, naans like bin lids and I'm rather keen to try it again!

Failing that, a nice steak or chinese buffet would do fine.
