I missed some of you at Yandles this time, where were you? It was nice though to have time to have a chat with John Montgomery who is my regional rep and Derek Puplett the new secretary. I had a catch up with Paul Hannaby and as always it was very pleasant to see Shiela Hughes the Rev's editor. The AWGB stand looked very good with a nice display of work on it. We did have some rain but nowhere near as bad as it was forecast (never is). I also met some of the regular members of the forum who have become friends over the years and that is always nice . Although I was representing the RPT this time I did have the opportunity to have a wander and I even watched some demos, spent more than I usually do but got some real bargains too. A good weekend.

Always good to meet up with old friends and aquaintances as well as those that know me but I can't remember LOL. Apologies to all of those. Did have a quick wander but seemed to spend a lot of the time talking (there's a surprise) amnd demonstrating.

I was there on Friday and enjoyed it very much as I always do, had a brief chat to Pete and George, there was a lot of deep conversation going on at the AWGB stand so didn't interrupt. Glad everyone else enjoyed it as well -- Julian

i made it for an hour or so on the Sat afternoon at the end. A lot of people were preparing to go so I was a bit disappointed. I will probably go to the next one and see what I think.

People start rolling in from abiut 8.30 so it is alkways a good idea to get there early rather than later if possible. Especially if you are going to grab some of the discounts Yandles do at the shows.

I realised when I got home that in the two days there, I didn't manage to find enough spare time to look round the wood store! I guess I will have to make up for it next time I go! ;-)
It was good to catch up with a few other turners. I hope to see you at the next one!
-
Oh! the wood store! I forgot that too! doh!

Sorry to say we didn't make it this time... other commitment's ..... Paul does this mean the Masur Birch
will still be there for me at the spring show :)
Regards Tony di

Unfortunately, I haven't seen any decent masur birch there for a few years now, just some uninteresting bits with splits in!
I still have a stash in my workshop waiting for me to do something with it ;-)

Had a great time at Yandles. While I was there (apart from seeing quite a few of you) I had a text from SWMBO telling me to 'Treat myself' - so I did and spent far too much!
