Just to add my tuppence worth.
Many thanks again to Tony for hosting a great event, and good to meet
those of you I hadn't met before.
I found the whole thing pretty exhausting, and I'm glad we (Richard
Franks and I) drove down from Scotland the day before. If you didn't
hear the story of that journey, Richard spotted 3* 2585 - the train
handcart (previously only available with lego Loco software) in the
Welcome Break Motorway services at Gretna. After that we stopped at
every services bar one (about 5 or 6 in all!) but to no avail. Richard
took their phone number to try and find out how the sets ended up there.
After two late nights and the long journey home (complete with snow in
the Scottish hills for added effect) I slept for 11 hours last night!
For those of you who still need convincing about these events, here's
what I came back with that I didn't have beforehand (those marked BB
were from the trip to Busy Bee). Net outlay approx £25, not incl BB.

| And to add my contribution - thanks Tony! I really enjoyed the event and meeting you all either again or for the first time. I'm really sorry I couldn't stay long to chat (and half my time there seemed to be devoted to sorting out my set of Lego (...) (25 years ago, 13-Dec-99, to lugnet.loc.uk)

| Just a quick thank you to Tony for the organisation of yesterdays event, and to say that I was really pleased to meet all of the attendees. I now have to find the time to complete all the models with the bits I swapped Cheers Alan Kershaw (25 years ago, 12-Dec-99, to lugnet.loc.uk)
