Anyone going? I was thinking of going on the Sunday to see if the traders have sold all their wares by then or need reasonably priced help to take it all away. But I'm open to suggestions that another day would be better.

I favour Friday - probably the busiest day but less of the "sticky finger" brigade around. Sunday at Harrogate is the least likely day to run into anyone you know - it is usually very quiet indeed.

Sunday could be a good day for bargains, but the good stuff might have all gone by then My choice would be Friday, but not practical for me so it's probably going to be Saturday.

Saturday, for me, get there nice and early to get ahead of the meandering crowds. We normally arrive as one of the first on the day.. and we are generally still doing the circuit when we realise that the halls have emptied again and the stewards are waiting anxiously by the doors pointedly eyeing their watches for our benefit.

And SWMBO never complains once, bless'er, even when she is struggling to help me lug great lumps of metal back to the car.

No point mate, I've heard it's been designated as an SSSI because of the rare moth population. You can't disturb it.
Best get Peter to buy you a pint...
I'd love to go but unfortunately it's just too far from Hadleigh for a day trip up there, and I can't stick the diesel cost back into the company anymore - damn!
Has anyone thought of organising an annual UKRME/related-stuff p*** up somewhere nice and central in the country for everyone to get to, or would that be just too big a waste of machining time?

What abut the Lemington one in October, the old Donington Show at TEE's site ??

That might well be a good choice. Leamington is pretty much as central as you can get with good links to everywhere. I'd have to make it a weekend with the wife and kids ensconced in an hotel somewhere with promises of trips out & dinner, but that could work out quite well.
I'd be up for that, anyone else?
Peter
Sounds good to me. We could draw straws for buying the first round
Regards, Tony
Sounds good to me, I could even get the domestic management to drive me there and back :-)
