I'm going tomorrow (Friday) Mike.
Definitely worth a visit for anyone who's not been before.
Don't forget a credit card though for all those must have tools  :drool: and special 'show' offers - but watch out some are just the same price as on the net!. I take a list of things I might buy with the on-line prices.

Steve.
Steve,
I put it back together using all the right parts,
just not necessarily in the right order.:scratch:

Abraham - that is horrific - I hope all is well and there was a significant reason and not someone elses fault.

Get yourself up next year for Harrogate.

PS. If anyone goes today and you see Colin Thornes Skeleton clock, will you take some photos of it for me. A group had it showing last year but I didn`t have my camera: http://www.iantcobb.co.uk/thornes-skel--L-M-large.jpg

Hi Cris,

Bottom line, my own fault. The UK regulations have changed and where I could visit the UK in the past with my Spanish residence I now need a visa.
