Do introduce yourselves - its good to faces to names.

Just to remind I can't physicaly take along over 2000 titles with me. If there are books you would like to see to view without commitment to purchase please advise as I will need to limit what can be carried

Looking forward to it, hoping we will get there in time for the meal on Friday evening but will be a bit tight as we'll be leaving Wisbech around 4:30.

I will be there, and with a new tent as well, old one trashed while down Corwall by gale force winds. Ended up being held down with rocks. Trying to sleep was like being on the Titanic.

I'm hoping to put some more faces to names this year.
I'll be camping Friday to Sunday and over to Goodluck on Tuesday.
Put my name down for the hard stuff so feeling a bit trepedatious.

There is no hard stuff at Alderley, in some parts is akin to walking along a beach in the dark! :lol:

The management thanks you for your co operation.

The hardest bit is prising open the wallets when they see my bookstand. Do make the effort to say hello in order I can put faces to names

Just a reminder to let me know if there is anything in particular you are interested in seeing ( no commitment to buy) as I can only bring along a small selection of stuff.

Mike :thumbsup:

Just got back from the conference - an excellent time was had. Good venue, good trips, good lectures - all credit to the Derbyshire CC who hosted the event.

One thing I did learn - never, under any circumstances, allow Mr Fellows anywhere near a boat 😉

I think I laid that one to rest. My missus was livid when she picked up the rather heavy bag of purchases. 😉

I got the "why is your bag so heavy?" grilling when I got back too, and let's not talk about my new habit of leaving wads of £20 notes lying around.....
