RMweb Premium Nile Posted October 24, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 24, 2014 The tables and chairs are mostly sorted. Some big and impressive layouts are already set-up and ready to go. Hopefully everyone will be ready for the 10am start on Saturday. We just hope there are no incidents on the M25 or the rail network to spoil things for our visitors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
