It may have to be an 'either - or' between here and Warley for me; somewhere along the way I have to do Christmas shopping, get a weekend in Nottingham with my daughter and grandchildren (some of them) and possibly fit in a flight to Canada to see Katie.
It would be nice if I could find time to upgrade or replace this box of chips, too...
We'll have to see how it goes - but it's a great experience and I don't want to miss them all.....

I'll certainly try and be there - give me an excuse to try out part of the "real" Great Eastern
Not done the route since a visit to Norwich Crown Point depot two years ago!

Might make the journey if im not busy working on SWL or KRS. Quite busy atm but i may see if i can get there.
If not it will be Warley, never been to one of the biggest shows in the UK so no doubt i will go.
Hopefully by getting to go to Colchester i can get some more time to play with the activities on South Western Lines and Great Eastern, now that matt has a copy of both
A chance to brush up on my driving skills

Well make sure you introduce yourself to one of the team so we can all say Hi
Sometimes people come to see us, look for a while, and then go away without being brave enough to chat to us, so we miss them
SO dont be shy (and that goes for anyone coming for the first time), stick a hand across the laptop and say Yo Babies (or something similar) Im xxxx.
And if you can do it just as Doug is approaching a red and thus cause him to SPAD then much fun will be had by all
Mind you - if im asleep at the controls just wake me up at the next station stop.

Don't worry, I usually end up behind a pc at the shows whenever I turn up
Besides, need to see what people think of GE for myself

I might be there, hopefully. Last year I saw UKTS Live at Romford MRC, but they're not visiting there this year.

Well apart from that Laurie chap....
He's the one who'll be asleep! Whatever you do, don't wake him!
