If you happen to be passing the NZ SIG stand, say 'Hi' to Dave Stewart for me.  <_<  :thumbsup:

Will he have a guitar with him?

Unlikely.

But he will have a willingness to yarn about models and a shopping list, I'm sure. And a whif-friendly attitude.  ;)

Quote from: NARSES2 on October 15, 2025, 06:24:30 AMThe other thing to note about the Overtrees boxings is the price.

Stupidly low.  ;D The Hellcat I got at Telford was £8.65. One of the reasons they sell out early. Interestingly Eduards' Telford pricings can be lower than their website's, especially on the Sunday.

Your mission at Telford is to drag me to their stall early. You may even get commission  ;)

Accepted  ;D

Also I won't have a long shopping list from Lee either, and you won't have to transport it for him  :angel:  (As at 16/10/25  ;D )
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

We could go on mass as I want to go to their stall too.

a word of warning folks.

Mrs SP has just had a facebook warning that the M6 southbound is closed weeknights between J12 and J10  8PM till 6AM  31oct till 21 nov
you may want to double check routes and plan in advance   :banghead:
the things you learn, give your mind the wings to fly, and the chains to hold yourself steady
take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances.

Thanks for that, sounds like the Toll Road will do good business on the Sunday evening then!

Luckily I'll be staying with the RAF's Best Air Traffic Controller than night.  ;D

Well the closure shouldn't be a problem on a Sunday night since it only happens on week nights according to the info.

In that case it shouldn't be a problem to anyone attending the Nats, sorry, SMW, other than the Friday afternoon setup crew who may be heading home that night, and I can't think there'll be too many of them.
