There were bargains to be had Jim. Had to do a Lord Lucan to snap them up so there was a good chance you may have walked by me while I had me head buried in a pile of boxes like a pig snuffling for a truffle.
Will see you at Gaydon  I,ll try to keep in my table proximity mate but doubt it if there,s a bargain to be had but I,ll try me best.

So you were actually there in person were you Tony? I gave searching after the third circuit.

he was in the car park with his girlfriends

I haven't displayed at Huddersfield for a couple of years now because its too crowded.

As for the IPMS forum, it is quiet but we used to post on there a lot. Its suffering the same fate as quite a few others. There are now too many places to post. Theres there, theres here, TMW forum, various Facebook groups and other forums. I can only post on so many.

I'm having the same problem with a local bikers forum I run in North Yorkshire. We have a Facebook page and about 98% of business gets done there. The forum is about dead but there are still a handful of folk who aren't on Facebook so I have to keep it open.

its face book it evil  and the strange thing is people don't realise just how much info is being gathered by FB 

[ynotovlov]

Totally agree. That Farcebook thingy should be stoned like a heathen. Tis the work of the devil. It,s now,t but a gossip page for a nest of viper to hiss about other folk instead of getting the gut to say what they think about somebody to there face like a true MAN!!.

Well the IPMS facebook page is growing very well and it's popular for erm ... modellers sharing the hobby, the only people who are on the page are the folks who WANT to be there. It has a very strong International membership which makes it thrive. The IPMS Forum is dying a slow and horrible death and I came off it recently due to a series of posts from someone who just used it as his own whinge page, but there ya go. Facebook isn't for everyone but I find it useful and informative. One of the things which used to annoy me about the TMW forum were the folks who simply thought that if they had an opinion about something they could just say what they felt no matter who it upset, that was morally wrong and I haven't been on the site in ages. This forum is like a breath of fresh air, it's informative, helpful and above all friendly and long may it be so.

I gave searching after the third circuit.  The chap who was looking after your Bedford and caravan told me to try the truck table (again) and they didn`t know where you`d disappeared to either.
Still there`s always Gaydon -  perhaps!!!!

i was also there jim but i was up in town for an hour or so just before lunch time. i was behind the table for a while in the afternoon but it was a bit of a squash in there with lots of people and not much room
