Really wish I could be there with you all... having already met Vladd, TJay, Taff, Witch & Klem at previous AW Conventions, I am sure you will all have a great time!  Unfortunately, I will be at work on those days, and with my colleague off sick following an accident a couple of weeks ago, there is no chance of getting the days off...  hope you all enjoy meeting up!  :)

Rather too short notice, I'm afraid.

Sorry for the short notice qts but we did have something else planned for the Thursday 14 March but we had to cancel it and therefore slotted the Hendon visit in as an alternative meet-up.

Shame you can't make it though!

Well I'm still 100 miles north of London but still a lot closer than Ulverston!  Unfortunately there aren't that many real good museums up in the north of England though I would like to goto Elvington near York someday.  Flossy, can't you take a sicky, bring Zeb and let BenDover skive off school and come down and join in on the fun? :)

Besides, we got a couple of guys coming over from Ireland so you've lost your excuse of living in the north!  :)
