Can’t wait for it. Hope to see you all soon.
Always a great show, looking forward to the early train tomorrow and the aching feet in the pm!

Car is full of diesel, wallets full of notes, route planned, pick-up times set, stalls to visit listed down! One more sleep to go!
I’ll be driving up in the morning. A bit of internet surfing tonight to check for offers on the day
Is there a dedicated place where you can check on that sort of thing?
afraid not. I just check round my favourite supplier sites. In the past we have posted any deals we spot in the forums.
Couldn’t make it this year. If Warren’s not too hung over tomorrow, hopefully will see some IHMN tables as it’s steam-punk themed.
Jumping in the car at 3:30 am tomorrow morning, see you there! 😀
