I thought Dan4ths post was well thought out, however, by cutting and pasting, you have managed to put everything out of context. Well, Sooty655, the same guy that organized the visits, is also organizing the delivery of all the Avionics bits that we offered to 655.

Have a chuckle at that.

They will be collected on the 9th Feb, (providing you can organize a van).

And even if you can't make it THIS weekend,
be sure to e-mail and say you plan to attend

Just in case it has not been covered................... I assume there will be a small stall of goodies to help raise the revenue generated from these tours. I hear there are a couple of good books produced by club members that are still available.

Have a good one.

It would be nice to know how many have
booked passage on the minibus for this
weekend and whether they have a waiting
list or not.....

I just think they should get the max number
of visitors in there that they can manage.

Which, of course, is easy for ME to say......

If you tell me how many that is,
will you have to kill me?

And are you booking for the
following week, too?

If I said I was worried before the email hit the forums, that we had made a mistake and now, I wonder what I have let myself in for would that answer your question.

Close enough, Rick, but I doubt it's a
mistake. In fact, I believe you will be
having a really wonderful time.

I hope whoever's handling the calls/
e-mails is keeping track of the volume....
