Also, youve got the really *nasty* spinner to back you up. (Speak softly, carry a big LEM).

I hope to be there, hectic commitments permitting.

And as youre now FRA Chairman I have to obey or else

Congratulations - IMHO the best candidate got the job but I get the feeling - what with that Lambert fella n all - that I mix with all the wrong people

Good to meet up with everyone (eventually; Ill bring a map next time), and thanks to Eddy for the discussions. I never did ask what you were saying, when you said youd been discussing me before I turned up... (Paranoid? Moi?)

See you at the next one, hopefully a bit nearer to the official start time. :-)

Good to see you again Andrew. We were talking about your climbing antics at Debenham and wondering if you were going to turn up when you walked through the door. That was a good photo of Scorpion/Behemoth. Sorry Geoff, Jenny and myself coulnt stay as Jen and I had both been suffering lately with flu/stomach bug/everything else that can be thrown at us. Anyway the delights of PCM is a bit beyond me at the moment although I can wax lyrical about sampling rates and quantization.

:-) No problem, Karoline. If its the flu that I had at Debenham which everyones picked up - sorry! Ive now got the CDs of pictures sorted (as the East Anglian region people discovered), so Ill bring them next time and you can see whether my clambering was worthwhile. And Im used to people running away when I talk obscure technical stuff - Ive been coding up a first order temporal logic satisfiability checker for a friend, and its amazing how quickly people have something else to do...

By the way, one of the pictures shows someone lurking behind Geoff in the pits who looked cross to be photographed. I know my fellow photographers got grumbled at a bit, so if that was the source, my apologies to whoevers in the picture. (I probably should have told them not to fire a flash in anyones face while theyre using tools, but I hoped they had the sense...)

South East FRA Region Meeting

Hi guys and gals, have just had an e-mail from Jon Reason and he has asked me to post the details of next weekends social.

Venue- The Saltdean Tavern
Date - Saturday 1st May
Time - 6.00- 6.30 ish
A little earlier I know.

Please could we have a show of hands to who is coming. I know that it is short notice, but I hope to see some of you there.

Im game for that

South East FRA Region Meeting

Oh dear, thought we were aiming for somewhere closer to (my) home this time.

Id like to be there. Ill try to be there. Im moving house (to Bracknell) next Thursday, so its possible my other half will lynch me if I stop packing; if she decides I deserve a break, I *will* be there. I might not make 6:30, but Ill try to do better than 8pm (Ill bring a map this time). :-)

Assuming I can cope, whod like a CD of Debenham pictures? If you were there, youre on it (and if you werent there, you can see what happened!)

Jenny: Could I possibly bring you a tape on to which to append a copy of the Wilsons Day stuff, having no duplication facilities myself? How long is it (A2B)?

Andrew was it just the last episode you are missing if so I have a spare copy you can have. But bring along a tape and Ill try to copy the extra footage of W.R figting Scorpion in my carpark.

Sorry, cant make it, Welsh event that weekend.

Paul - sorry to miss you. Next time, gadget.

Jenny - yes, just the last one. It *might* fit on the end of the tape with the second half of season 7, which would be a bonus from the point of view of lending the thing to a friend in Finland. The footage sounds interesting.

I remember W.R., Dominator and the strange thing made out of a photocopier from the first time I saw it (its the first time I actually heard a robot); Im guessing Plunderbird 5 and Killer Carrot were there too, since theyd been in the rest of the series. Must sort my tape collection. Anyhoo, completing the set would be most appreciated.

Hiya folks, yep, Saltdean again!

Sorry about that Andrew et al, but I have not had the time to investigate a different locale. Next time, I promise!

Anyhoos, Ill be there 6ish, so hope to see you all, though gonna be on my own this time.

TTFN

No problem, either Ill cope or I wont, its not going to put me off trying to be there. Its just ironic that youd start talking about places near Sevenoaks just as I move to the far side of the M25!

This may be a daft thought, but for future reference - is there any reason for us not to meet in London? Surely if we aimed somewhere near, say, Waterloo then we could all get there relatively easily (and not have to drive home). Maybe my daily circumnavigation of the M25 has made me immune to the idea of cars being cheaper than the train, though.

Hopefully see people Saturday.
