Obvioudly many of us know that Scale Model World will be upon us in a couple of weeks and i was wondering who's going from the forum, i know many of the SIG members from What-If, R&D and Cold War will be attending, but what about those from the forum who are not currently members ? (If you do please feel free to come and say hello at any of the mentioned SIGs as you will find they are all manned by members of this forum  ;D

Cheers

I'll be on Door Duty greeting the hoards as they enter the Centre, directing them with a Squeaky Rubber Chicken to the correct entrance. but only from 8am to 9am, and until 9am, only IPMS(UK) Members with Exhibitor Passes can enter Hall 1 and 2. After 9am IPMS(UK) only can enter Halls 1 7 2, and after 10am, you can all enter!!
EVERYONE can enter HALL 3 for a cup of coffee, Bacon Sarnie etc., charged at a big price, as well as look at HALL 3 Exhibits.
I'm on duty with my minder and the squeaky Rubber Chicken from 8am until 9am.
After that, I'm loose in the building for two whole days.
Whooooop...whooopppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :drink: :drink: :drink:

I'll be getting there on the Friday night for both days.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

I shall be there from Friday night till Monday morning, visiting a couple of museums both going there and coming back.

Hoping to visit the Boulton-Paul Heritage Centre in Fordhouses, not far off the M54 near Telford. Apparently it opens between 1pm and 4pm on Friday afternoons. http://www.boultonpaul.com/

As mentioned elsewhere, I'll be there around 1300 on Friday as Narses' apprentice to assist with the setting-up. Then I'll be chauferring/caring for Dork on Sunday. Looking forward to setting a record of five straight Nationals without buying a single kit !!

None of my modelling mates can make it this year so it'll be a great day of buying everything off their shopping lists that they've given me!...damn them!...:D
It's a big, wide world out there...so if it's all the same to you I'll just stay indoors!

It was revoked after the now infamous "I bet I can drink more than the entire IPMS Deutschland put together...." incident of 2006. That was a dark time best forgotten...... (shakes head sadly and exits stage left).

I am now going to be there on the Friday, early evening I would say, and staying at the Holiday Inn, so not far to stagger, from tiredness I must add.

I might be there on one day. Possibilities are:

1. Go to SMW on Saturday, then go straight to biker's bonfire bash in Warrington. Downside = long day & need to be on bike, which limits kit-buying potential.

2. Go to SMW on Sunday. Downside = motivation might be hard to find depending on how "tired and emotional" I get at the bonfire bash..... :drink:


However BOTH options might be ruled out by an excess of RWSTD (Real World Stuff To Do), so I won't know until the last minute.
