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?

Instead of the FCS2009, several of us went to the DS rally and had a lovely day.

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.
