Sorry to leave it so late in the day guys, but...
...I _won't_ be attending :-( I currently have 4 events lined up for the day
(much the same problem as Tony's fest last year), so I'll attend the 3 down
here in the south this year.
On top of that, I've just moved, and all my LEGO is currently stashed away
waiting for me to find time to re-sort it all!!!
Have a great time everyone. I'll catch up with you all soon.
Jon.
