Nice meeting up with known and unknown faces.
Thanks to John [bogs] for some fine grating magnetic packers [ or whatever they are called ] A couple of the lads at the Chester meet I did know, some were new to me like John Rudd and Rob Wilson.
Saw Rich and Julian earlier just to swap insults with.
Rob Wilson was a pleasant surprise, after all the fine finished work he puts out I wanted to hate him but he's such a pleasant guy I found it hard to do

I had a nice relaxing day, far better than a quick rush round at the start of a show which is what I have been used to doing.
Managed a natter with David Clark, editor of ME and MEW and a nice chat with Giles Parkes on the SMEE stand, a real gentleman.
Didn't see Ivan Law as I normally do as he's a judge there but noticed that Barry Jordan was judging this year, anyone know if Ivan is OK ?
