[kirton]

Ok, I'm a southerner but I think I'm safe at Cannock as I got to Wick after SF18 fit and well, apart from having fed Saabnut's midges

Assuming MrsYoof and I get an okay night's sleep, I have permission to attend. We'll be at the mercy of a three month old by then, who could be going through a growth spurt according to all the apps and info I have on my phone, so I may have to cancel last minute, but I would be turning up on the morning anyway so no harm done if so.

[davidfowler2000]

Just a reminder that this is this weekend coming.

I have been bouncing the idea of going to the Aldridge Transport Museum after the auctions so that cms206 can fondle some Metroriders. Anyone fancy that?

[320touring]

I am currently struggling to get a meeting moved so I can hauf day it on the Friday..

 

Will advise

[chaseracer]

Will we need a table booking at the Beefy Friday evening?

[Ghosty]

I'm hoping to be down on Saturday. I'm staying in Hathersage on Friday night so the drive down will actually be fun, and not the M6. I'll be in the Volvo, as I've been told the Jag doesn't fit anywhere in Hathersage that it'll be safe.

[dollywobbler]

Ahm oot as I'll be hurtling around Somerset in the Invacar, lording over even tinier cars. 

[Lord Sterling]

For the umpteenth time, I cannot make this. Doing a collection on the 7th.

[Inspector Morose]

I’ll try for more than five minutes this time.

Numbers by Thursday peeps!

[kirton]

put me on the dinner list;  I'll bring along Krujoe's frying pan for its onward travels.   I'll sellotape a list to it to record  the game of how far can it travel before it returns to its home; 

[brownnova]

We’re in for Saturday and will do our damnedest to be at breakfast. 

[davidfowler2000]

Spose I should make a dinner list. If I put anyone on it who's not going then tell me so I can take your name off.

[Inspector Morose]

Wandering around the web, I've noticed that the Great Central Railway is holding their diesel event that very weekend. It's about an hour from the auctions but many wondrous machines will be running, including a Warship, a Hoover (Just right for Beko then), an early Duff and a couple of Rats. For the more sedate amongst us, a DMU should be there too. There will also a heritage bus service using buses from the local Leicester Transport Heritage Trust who own lots of 70s and 80s goodness amongst other things.
The downside to this plan is that to get a reasonable time there, an early finish at the auctions would be advisable which would skew the auction game somewhat. If it's a no-go for Saturday, I probably will go either Friday or Sunday instead.

Attendees, it's over to you!

[AnthonyG]

I’m up for the Alridge museum again as they had a superb library of utter shite books to pick though. 

As usual, I have some magazines to move on, some ‘ classic cars’ from 2018-2019, a few steam train ones (various titles, from earlier this year) and ‘air forces monthly’ - two whole years worth (2017 and 2018) 

All about current military planes and helicopters, with some proper spotter level detail in them. 

Don’t all shout at once...

[brownnova]

We will probably be breakfast, auction and back home as there’s a local music festival on back home we’re planning to go to. 

[ruffgeezer]

Fuckingfucketyfuckfucks, I can't make it as I'm taking the olds out for the day to Splading. ?

[Sloth in a bowl]

Ok, I'm in for a Friday night dinner.

[AnthonyG]

Also - anyone want this? 

About the Underground- bought more than a year ago and I still haven’t got beyond chapter 3.

Let me know otherwise it’s back to Oxfam for it. Free to any attendee on Saturday.

[Sloth in a bowl]

I'll take that Anthony.

I'll also bring along a few motoring books, for people to take.

[AnthonyG]

It’s yours Mr Sloth. 

[davidfowler2000]

Because of big numbers, dinner is booked for 7:45pm.

The man said if we're there early we may get space but no guarantees.

[Sloth in a bowl]

I'll be there 7:30ish.

I have the Autoshite auction game forms printed out. Bring a pen or pencil on Saturday folks.

Also got a few books to give away to anybody who wants them.
