Runs as Required is going, he is an old friend originally from our old forum. I once won a competition he ran And he helped me with my scratch build Ye Olde White Horse.....which admittedly is stalled although I now have better materials to revamp and finish it......another one for the list. He can apparently negotiate which day he goes. I think we need to check our days, set a time, and an extra window for unforeseen events, to meet at a certain part of the show, JCL is offering to wearing a distinctive T shirt, I will carry my pink iPad. It will be great fun to meet those RMwebber we have met before and those we are yet to meet. Feel free to throw your hat in the circle if you are going and want to meet. Runs as Required is going. Hmm..........He did not tell me, when he phoned...............@ 8.am yesterday............ Edited August 21, 2014 by David Todd Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I notice on RMlive thread they are warning that there is a footie match now scheduled for the 13th. Which I suppose makes the 14th look favourite. Although RMlive thread says the parking is OURS. But arriving late might not be the best of ideas. Is anyone only going on a particular day, as opposed to the show per say? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcredfer Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I wouldn't panic too much ............................ I notice on RMlive thread they are warning that there is a footie match [???????] now scheduled for the 13th It isn't likely to amount to a bunch of Chelsea xxxxx look-alikes ......................................... ............ in the last 5 matches for each team, there has been one Win each, 7 Lost games and one Draw ............................. The spectators are more likely to be local Gardening Clubs on a day out watching other people's grass grow ........... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Anotheran Posted August 22, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 22, 2014 At their last home match Coventry drew a crowd of just under 2,400. I can't see Yeovil bringing a big away fan contingent with them, so I don't think it will be a major problem. Though you may want to avoid leaving at exactly the same moment as the final whistle. So I'm still game for either day, though I normally prefer Sundays on 2 day shows as they're normally a bit quieter, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
runs as required Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Um....now how do I do this... Runs as Required is going. Hmm..........He did not tell me, when he phoned...............@ 8.am yesterday............ & Maybe [the Harkitec] was scared you'd turn up with your mum in tow And now we have to find him without an advance scout!!!! Hi smee, in actual poisson.... dt is right, I didn't say anything to him about Coventry - cos I hadn't found out about it at that stage. I was talking to him about whether he was coming up to N Shields for the Blyth&Tyne exhibition this weekend. And actually his mum is a whole lot more fun than dt - who is always complaining about the way his layout keeps curling up in all his tab smoke. About Coventry: my CEO says its fine by her - but did I not think to check first with daughter Rache that they'd be prepared to accept the old trouts for that weekend? (we're still awaiting confirmation of that). But it would be very interesting to meet up with y'all. dhig Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcredfer Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 How can we be sure the Post is genuine Hi smee, in actual poisson.... ........... can't quite put my finger on it ..... but there is definitely something fishy [or perhaps even Froggy] about the tone of it .............. Haa!! - there ............. told you so ........ before Morning Coffee and still on the Drawing Board ....... dt is right, I didn't say anything to him about Coventry - cos I hadn't found out about it at that stage. .... Anyway, it isn't likely that anyone is going to be chatty about the possibility of having to go to Coventry .......... .....

Jaz Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Westerhamstation is going on the Saturday. He expects to be there early enough to not worry about footie fans and avoid leaving at whistle time. We are still in flux, Kal has still not looked at the tickets...so we think we can go either day. When he booked in advance there appeared to be no set day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Cool.....Richard.....hmmmm....I think we played the prank from hell on him already......maybe ....if we find one of the 'gang' is quick with the verbal patter as well as the written word we can see how far a re run would go........I wonder if he (Richard) would kill us ......although we could stand at a safe distance (with a video.... if it got only a fraction of the way it would make great footage) ...and leave the sucker joker in the firing line . Now acg_mr is always quick on the pun....he has not stated if he is going.....I wonder if he can duck and dive......LMAO. Or Westerhamstation....'cos he would have his wife with him, hence Richard is far to much of a gentleman to bonk him. Lucky for us he has a great sense of humour ROFL. I wonder if they have the wives with them this year....Last time they needed bigger suitcases going home and she still had to throw some clothes away to make room for the new ones Richard barely broke a sweat!!!!!

Jaz Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Ok ....so......we have a bunch of us doing RMlive...... several can do either day. Westerhamstation is doing Saturday...................not Sunday JCL appears to be doing Saturday And Sunday Kal and Lynn apparently can do either Saturday or Sunday Acg-mr would like to go ? Freebs would like to go ? Julian can do either Saturday or Sunday runs as required can do either Saturday or Sunday dt cannot make either Saturday or Sunday maybe he's sneaking of to Expo...... Anotheran can do either day Saturday or Sunday So unless acg_mr and freebs have an issue with Saturday. It appears favourite in order to link with Westerhamstation. if anyone else is able to make RMlive and has not yet stated being able to do so. Please do pipe up...if you wish to say hi. Jock will unfortunately be in hospital, but he knows we wish him well with his op. And some are definitely doing Expo. whether that is both days I do not know. now the big question is what time and where to meet......... not first thing.....far to messy......lunchtime might be nice.........then if stragglers they don't get caught out...... any thoughts??? Q. As social secretary.....do i get a box of chocolates .................. .....only joking.....on a diet........sighs........ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Ref RMLIVE, the likelihood of managing a full meet with all our mutual friends will surely not be doable. But we are making as much effort as possible to help those who are going, and want to say hi to do so. Some friends will of course have commitments, health, family, children, and for some they live in foreign climes. however, it will be nice to meet those that we do. And friends will always be friends. So for those that cannot be there.....you will be there in spirit. It will be nice to meet their poor understanding other halves in some cases. Those poor people who have to gently shake their head regards our hobby, and probably think well i t could be worse......They might be doing O gauge and then they would steal the garden as well!!!!!! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The half built Ye olde White Horse...will get a new life....as she will be rebuilt out of thicker plastic that can support the roof!!!!!. And this time I will build the windows from scratch. Thanks to Sasquatch et al. I have acquired much better material and hopefully have better knowledge to make the windows.....although I was always rather secretly impressed by my drawn ones.....ah those were the days....innocent....oh yeah and stupid...LOL. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
