RMweb Premium Barry O Posted November 21, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 21, 2013 And who is going to be asking Bachmann about the delays to their deliveries - everyone whinges at Hornby but Bachmann and others are just as bad (if not worse - odd things like Porthole coaches, covhops etc....) so time to give Simon K a break please...

Andy Y Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Who's going to be the one to give Simon Kohler a hard time? Hopefully no-one; Simon's a decent chap and doesn't deserve the worst excesses of you lot moaning. By all means have a chat but please don't give him a hard time.

Gruffalo Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 It would be nice to put faces to avatars around on Saturday, when I shall be making my first ever Warley visit. As I've always found the NEC halls to be somewhat warm, I shall not be wearing my normal hairy outer covering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

'CHARD Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 It would be nice to meet some fellow rmwebbers and enjoy a pint or two at the same time; room for one more? I can enjoy one pint at a time, but three at once? I suppose if they provide straws.... How do you get in to Wetherspoons?

MarkSG Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Incidentally, I'll be there on my own, as the rest of the family have other things to do that day. Which means I don't have any time pressure; I can be there as long as I want. So if anyone needs a relief operator for an hour or so on Sunday...

bbishop Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 Nothing; great meet on Sunday, other than the ale being sour. However the thread was started in order to keep the meets away from discussing the show itself. Now that the meets are history, I can't see any point in continuing with the thread.

'CHARD Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Ah, I see. Well I met one half of the Stoating Bank crew at the hall bar on the Sunday, amongst others, and a great, productive time was had. I was excited to learn about the next developments of that team's layout and show endeavours! Our consensus was that after the lunchtime rush had subsided, there was plenty of space, and with refreshments at a reasonable price, to have a little social time without leaving the hall. Meeting the Aberdeen Kirkhill crew was great too - albeit at their stand, so I'll be sure to discuss that over on the layout thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Dagworth Posted November 25, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 25, 2013 I asked that this be unlocked again to add the evidence of crimes against beer... These were taken at the Sunday meet up, nice to meet a couple of new faces that I didn't previously know, and to catch up with some old friends.
