I got myself authorised to do the GPDR thing now, but even better, I got my old membership no. back!!!!!!!  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

As I joined waaaaaay back I used to be no. 884, one of the Three Figure Brigade, but some bloody minded Mem Sec. years ago wouldn't let me keep it as I was a month late renewing, and I was abroad at the time!

So since then I've been 10385, but the current Mem Sec is a REALLY good guy and has re-instated me to no. 884 again!

Another addition to my shopping list - an Airfix Hunter FGA9, possibly two.  I have some resin wings taken from the Maintrack conversion which are intended for the Airfix kit, plus the Maintrack wings somewhere else.

FYI, the Telford International Centre has gone cash-less. All the food outlets and machines on site will only take card or contactless payment. They've taken out the cash machine inside too.
IPMS (UK) has no control or influence over this matter.

But several traders say they will be taking cash!  :thumbsup:

On the plus side there will be no need for the Heavy Squadâ„¢ to do a bank run this year as nobody should be paying cash on the door. Whatever small amount the IPMS get from merchandise sales can go in the safe.

3 weeks today and we'll almost be there  :thumbsup:

Traveling up on the Thursday so I don't push myself to hard so I'll probably pop into Shrewsbury for lunch  :cheers: before helping the set-up  :thumbsup:

Do we know what time the doors open for Friday set up ? Memory from 2 years ago suggests 4:00pm but I'm probably wrong.

Added to that is: Who are the Chosen Men for the set up squad?

Do we still have to have the Vaccine passport crap too?

ill second the question though,  the IPMS site was a pain to read, and very unforthcoming on the subject.   :banghead:
and it may be a major decider in the go / no go options.
the things you learn, give your mind the wings to fly, and the chains to hold yourself steady
take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances. 
wow, its like freefalling into the Geofront

I got one a month or so ago, and it took less than a week to get back to me.

Well Nick your one of them.
Chris is the other. The third slot is in Mike McEvoys name just in case he is able to make it.
I always hope for the best.

experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Also there's the option of having an electronic version on one's smartphone.

Some of us flat out refuse to have them.  If I want to use a computer, I'll use one, not something with a screen the size of a postage stamp.

I got my vaccine passport on my phone.

So any idea what time doors open Friday ?
