Any takers for the UK Nationals?

[:)]]Hi all from sunny England! Yes, it has stopped raining for 5 minutes!

Ok, I’ll get straight to it. If you will be in the UK on the weekend of 20/21 Nov.'04 then the place to be is the IPMS UK Nationals held in Telford, Shropshire. It’s a huge event(see last issue of FSM) enough to fill three exibition halls and the quality of work on display will not dissapoint. Oh yes, there’s plenty of shopping to be done too![:D][:D] Just don’t bring your credit card-it’ll melt[:p]

I’ll be there both days and it would be nice to put some faces to some names around here and say “Hi”. So If any of you are interested or want info. leave a post or shoot an email.

Hope I see some of you there!

Darren.[:)]

Hi Darren, i’ll be there. better not take my creit card tho just incase i go “kit crazy”[:P]. i’ll be taking a wad of cash tho. i’ll shoot you an e-mail with my mobile phone number on soon. it’ll make meeting up a bit easier. btw are you still interested in a trip to Newark air museum?
Greg

I will pencil it into my diary. Is there a web site or other info regarding this event? How do you get to enter a model? Do you have to be a member of a club?
See you there

Put me down for it.

It’s about time it was me out at the weekend and not the missus.

Karl

Hi Greg,
glad you’re on board! When were you thinking of going to Newark? I’ll need to see if I’m working first. (shifts)[V] If I’m on leave, I’m up for it![8D]

Hi Dave,

You can more info from IPMSUK on www.ipmsuk.co.uk, as for entering the competition, you’re a braver man than I am![^] I think you need to be an IPMS member to enter, there should be info. on the site.

Hi Karl,

I know exactly what you mean![:D][:D][:D]

I’ll look forward to meeting you guys,

Later,

Darren[;)]

I think I’ll skip entering anything.

I don’t really need to be ridiculed that much!!!

Be good to meet you all.

Karl

Hi Darren. is it ok to send you my home phone no?. if you could call me it would make arranging a trip to newark much easier. if we can arange a date for it with enough time in advance maybe some others from the forum could join us there too. it’ll probably have to be a sunday though ( if i remember right the museum is only open half day saturday). i too work shifts so i know what you mean (what social life LoL).
Dave, Karl, are you guys interested in this trip? let me know via this thread (or e-mail if you prefer) and lets see what we can come up with. i’m sure there will be a date that suits all of us. (btw this is an open invitation to all FSMers)
later and best regards.
Greg

Sure that’s OK greg, I’ll grab my diary before I give you a shout. I’ll need to check with my missus too-she does shifts as well! (and we don’t have a child minder) You would’nt believe how much effort it takes just to go for a drink at my local these days!!

Later,

Darren.

I have no problem with either day. As it draws closer we should make some kind of arrangement to meet up at the event. I will drive down on the day and see you there.

Greg, Saturday would be better for me as I have to take my eldest to Rugby on a Sunday morning, however if push comes to shove I sure my better half could take him. I’m sure she’d enjoy that in November!!!

Karl

Hi Dave, Karl, i was thinking of having a small meet at Newark before the nats an thats what i am trying to organise. i was originaly thinking of having it on the 6th july. but i will be taking the date back a while due to it only being four weeks away and ihmo thats not really enough time for everyone to organise their trip.
what do you guys think of this?.
best regards
Greg

Greg, do you mean 6th of June or July?

June 6th is a definite no-no, as it’s my other half’s birthday. Easy to rember though.

Karl

oops june, me dumb [:I] sorry about that.if we knock it back to the first weekend of july tho how does that date grab ya?

Greg

Early July is fine by me.

Karl

great, i’ll hav a looksee at my work rota and see what dates i can come up with, if you have any ideas when you guys could make it please let me know.
Greg

Slight correction, my other half is now saying she is away mid July, so any date either side of that is fine by me.

Karl

Hi all,
I can make it on the weekend of 10/11th july. Any good ?

Sounds good to me.

What’s more it’s the weekend after pay day for me!!!

Karl

OK, thats two of us!
Any other takers?

count me in, i’m not working then either
