And we're done!
Between whiff and PC sigs there were 6 of us in attendance.
Due to a family emergency tsrjoe couldnt make it, so the PC stand was also set upand run by me with loads of help from the gang.

The show is returning to its usual date for next year. And the venue is a safe bet for at least the next 3 years. It seems the plan to pull down the building has been kicked into the long grass for now. The bad news is that there is no hope of getting the 2nd hall back. The gym that has moved into there is confirmed to be staying there for the long run.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

Good news there then! Glad you all had a good time.

It was a good show and a good turn out. Just arrived home, Perth to Rugby in 5.5 hrs, traffic was good apart from the odd prick cutting me up here and there. Appropriate hand signals were duly employed.

Yes, we did. It was a good show this year, not too crowded, just the right number of members, so we each had a seat if required, which gets more important each year that goes by.

We have two gentlemen who always visit the show, one of them needed a sit-down for a bit this year, which, as they are friendly and our regulars, was no problem at all.
