Post by IronMan129 »

Hey folks!
I know I'm not the SIG leader anymore but what does everyone think to a meet up?
I'm sure Dazzled will be up for it :).

I think it's a great idea in principle Adam but we are a bit geographically disparate. It would have to be somewhere in the Midlands really (South side of Birmingham maybe?) and a convenient date for most.

Was thinking along those lines myself Craig.

It is a model show in a relatively central location, in a museum with a dedicated Cold War section and as the SIG hope to be in attendance anyway it would be perfect.

I was hoping to do Cosford next year anyways so it works for me, it is a long trip so I was planning to book an overnight stay in a hotel and re-visit the museum the next day too for some photo reconnaissance.
