Sorry i couldnt attend, i was down south working and didnt have the time, energy or cash to drive back to Norwich, get the car, back to Kent then to the Show ! So instead i went to Bromley Pageant which was also very good, i'll put some pics up later if people are interested.

When is the next show?

Am I missing something or was the FCS 2009 held in a pub car park, with only DS's and SM's allowed? :lol: :?

Good pictures DickieG.
I had a great time on sunday, good to meet everyone, thanks for the lexia session Jim, I think the Green Goblin is now driving just a little bit more sublime, could just be in my head though...

Slightly OT how is malcolm doing, anyone heard anything?

I dont know exactly what happened, so don't take this as absolute fact, what I understand is the 'poorly DS' bit him, or rather his finger. Dave would know more, he seemed to be administering first aid. An ambulance was summoned, I think malcolm went off with them, I know nothing more. I had to leave shortly afterwards.

I wanted to see if anyone knew something more concrete.
