I've been on the phone this morning and booked my room at the Albert Villa. Who else will be there this year?

Martin H · February 05, 2018, 11:24:06 AM

I suppose I must.

:thumbsup

Looking forward to it, be good to see the good folks North of the DMZ again

I should be there but regrettably only for the one day. This year it will be Saturday.
Looking forward to seeing you lot.

Doug K · February 05, 2018, 12:01:05 PM

Going to try to get there this year. It's only 40 miles!

PR19_Kit · February 05, 2018, 01:45:59 PM

Hm, I wonder if I should try trekking north?

I'm not sure if my visa is still valid though.............

Might try to get up for the weekend as I know I'll be off for those dates. Wish I'd seen this earlier!

Lee, the thread was only started five hours before you said anything.

I will be there for both days, should have a few new models to show off too.

Kit, I am sure we can get you an extention or waiver so you can come and enjoy the show.

Sorry won't be able to make it this year a week too early for me to be practical.

Have a great show lads

I'll be up with Tyneside on the Saturday. I might have something new finished. IF I can find the enthusiasm, that is.

Shouldnt have much trouble getting north of the DMZ, its the trip back south thats the bugger

With the secret police and all that to watch out for

Sadly I'll miss out again as I'm up to my neck in 1:1 railway stuff.

Not to worry Martin, you are well known as a willing collaborator.

Slight change of plan this year. I'm not going to Perth now. Instead I've decided to walk the 96 miles of the West Highland Way from north Glasgow to Fort William.

This is a trek I've wanted to do for some time now and I feel the time is right for me now. The weather should be cool enough to keep the midges down but not so cold it stops any fun.

NARSES2 · April 19, 2018, 06:33:36 AM

Best of luck Nick

JayBee · April 19, 2018, 10:45:33 AM

Well good luck to you NIck, it is one that I would love to be able to do.
Although I must question your geographical knowledge.
You say it is a slight change of plans, but Perth and Milngavie (pronounced Millguy) (where you start) are at different sides of the country!

Do let us know how you get on, and of course PHOTOS are required.
