That's "seconded" by me too! A good day out with a difference! And very well organised too, thanks to everyone for all their efforts :thumbsup:

Thirded by me. :thumbup:

What strikes me about these do's is that there are folk that one has corresponded via forums, but one doesn't recognise. So one is shiftily glancing around in a vain effort to identify them.

I managed to spot Ditzy and Brains, confirmed by Stig running around outside!

Chris.

What a great place, thank you Van and Mike for setting this one up.
The highs for me were the ventilation fan and the intact telephone exchange (I was actually trained to operate one of these in my Royal Signals days) 😉
Great to meet so many people I previously only knew by name. Nice one :thumbsup:

Mike and Vanoord you are complete legends :thumbsup:

Second time there for me and still I want to see more. First time for my lads who really enjoyed it and were very disapointed when it was time to leave. Good to catch up with people too 😉

Sorry we missed you lads at the pub, which one did you stop at?, as we drove into two but could not see your vehicles anywhere.

The management thanks you for your co operation.

We were at the pub in Wolverley (Queens Arms?). We were all parked around the side, though possibly out of view.

Was that the big one on the left just before the road went uphill?, I drove in the main carpark, but could not see any recognisable vehicles, just loads of families sat outside!

The management thanks you for your co operation.

Don't think so. We turned left out of the carpark, followed the road for a mile or so and the pub was just on the right as you entered the village.
