From little acorns etc., etc.. The way things are going the meeting will need a bigger venue in a couple of years from now... and that might take much away from the informal / friendly feel for the day. Interesting how many non-S7 visitors, more than 10%.

I can't help feeling a 1:1 scale one would be more useful.

I do not know how to take that.... :confused: .

Are we talking about one of B&Q's best DIY offers for a HSK workshop or maybe a 12":1' example borrowed from DBS or Colas?

Heather, your sense of humour is being influenced nicely by your regular attendance of the WT evening classes (held in the classroom out-the-back). Or maybe I ought to have written "confusion"?

regards, Graham who is perfecting the art of being crazy.

I would like to add my thanks to everyone for a very enjoyable day, and especially to Simon, David and Ken for putting up with my many questions on 3D printing and workshop practice.

A crazy kind of question... nevertheless a question which might have some interesting answers.

How far did peeps travel to the recent S7 meeting? Longest distance and shortest distance... S7 Committee members and families excluded!

My guess is that 7mm Mick is going to be there or there abouts for the furthest distance (AA Route Planner gives circa 188.6 miles from the land of rhubarb and pontefract cakes)... although there is a possibility that someone might have travelled from Cornwall (say, Redruth at 253.5 miles).

As to the shortest distance... that has me stumped. My journey was just 33 miles give or take a few yards.

No prizes for such "crazy" claims as number of junctions around the M25... nor allowances for returning to base to pick-up camera / models / marmite sandwiches.

regards, Prof Barking Mad

Just a quick three and a half hour drive, absolutley worth it though. As you say Graham a very informal and friendly meeting, what the hobby is all about for me, a triumph for the Society and well done to Rob for sorting out those name badges :))

Concur on name badges, I'm terrible with names, even had to check my own on occasion! LOL
