Can't make unfortunately, topping up my Brownie point tally by taking the family to Newcastle for a couple of days.

[Roger Payne]

Nobs Dave & I will be there, as usual, hoping for a successful day.......

[Thunderbox]

I'm umming and erring about going up. Its quite a costly day trip, and the last time I went there didn't seem to be much actual firearms stuff amidst all the militaria & ephemera.

[Roger Payne]

......which can occasionally work to our advantage! You're right of course; at one stage we were the only exhibitors with functional firearms, but it's risen to three or four lately - plus a few others who are RFD's but who only bring deacts to the show.

I'm looking forward to seeing you there, Geoff - clutching my FAC in eager anticipation!

[bigduke6]

Good to see you Neil, the look on your face said it all......I managed to pick up a bit of bargain at the last minute nothing Enfield related but may go on an Enfield at a later date.

Forgot to mention the usual suspects Roger, Dave and Paul good to see you.

[waco16]

Still got that ga ga look on my face now, Geoff!
Thanks again for all your help - will be posting pics of the Trials (T) on the forum to celebrate its return to GB from the States very soon.

Good to finally put a face to Bigduke6, Buccaneer and to catch up with Roger and Dave again

All in all a good day - felt like a 6 year old on Christmas day...............

I did have wry smile or chuckle to myself at your comment in thread 2 Simon. I don't know about the rest of the world but surely, a rainy day in Birminghamshire with a grumpy wife in tow would definately bring more on more brownie points than a sunny day in Geordieland.............

[Simon]

Peter,

Not with my good lady, trust me

Fortunately for me my Brownie point account is now full to bursting which means I can shortly bog off on a Jolly Boys Outing to Flanders for a week in the full knowledge that I won't be on "deaf and dumb dinners" for a fortnight on my return. There's a method in the madness.

Cheers,

Simon.

P.S. Not to mention I particularly enjoy the craic with the Geordies in a proper working man's boozer whilst conveniently avoiding hanging around like a spare part outside the endless shops.
