Looks like I'll be on my lonesome ownsome then  :grin: I did have the grilfriend recruited to tag along as she's mystified by the attraction and wanted to see for herself but her rota changed and she's at work all day, I'll have a day of peace and quiet instead  :tongue:

Well I'm back and very sunburnt, haven't seen the light of day for a while with exams and whatnot and my neck just can't cope  :grin: Took nearly 700 photos, and had a very pleasant few hours wandering round in the sunshine. Surprisingly the show was pretty quiet in terms of visitors, lack of advertising maybe?

There were also a lot of dark mutterings from the exhibitors that it was more of a "working ERF" show than an anniversary AEC gathering, particularly since the REVS gang were lined up at the entrance. Still it was definitely worth going, never been before but it was worth the trip. Will put some pictures up if I can be bothered to fight with photobucket at some point

Oh and Voyager I have a few you'll be interested to see  :wink:
