I should be too rad' dear boy!

pickup is already sorted out and my minions inform me the clocks go forward that night too.

hence only a little ale the night before.

oh, as its the first ever official visit by the what-if SIG to this show I intend to find a wiff that will really upset people.  :wacko:

I'm intending to be there too, even though it's a fair step from these parts.

I may bring something very obviously Whiff-like, my 777-900 perhaps?   ;D :lol:

Do we have anything on the actual location please, like the postcode, or real address?

Magic, thanks.

As for the two tables, where are we going to put the rest of the models if I DO bring the 777-900?   ;D :lol:

also be warned that this show is notorious for its very small car park. If your not there early parking will likely be to say the least "interesting"

Strewth, it's 102 miles!  :o

let see kit. I am being picked up by Richard [of the wif SIG] from my place at 0700hrs sunday. 'tis a 20 to 30 min drive from Coventry and even if you get
there at 0730hrs it can be a pig to park for a 0800hrs exhibitors and traders let in...... :(

Hm, I may have to give it a miss then. [Where's the 'thumbsdown' emoticon when you need it?]

Sorry about that but the idea of getting up 0430 doesn't please too much, especially as it's the first day of BST, so I'll have lost an hour's sleep anyway!  :banghead: :banghead:

I hope what I said hasn't put you off.

parking arrangements at the Hinckley show have always been problematic over the years.

Yes it has Trevor, the distance and the time change makes it impractical for me really.

But that's not your fault, it's just too many negative factors ganging up on me at the same time.

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