Telford SMW 2023 - skypirate itinerary revealed!

[skypirate]

I don't know if you will see this, David and I certainly didn't expect to be typing it, but Mrs W and myself have managed to book in at the International and so, all being well, I will see you on Saturday. Talk about booking at the last minute

Bloody terrific news, Shaun.
Good on ya!
Looking forward to meeting you.

Same here, David, really looking forward to meeting you. I haven't managed to get to SMW for quite a few years and I'm really looking forward to it. All being well, see you tomorrow!

Sod Telford Shaun, When're we going to see you back on the boards building a model?!?! I hope you and Mrs W are doing well.

Cheers!

Daz and Skypirate caught fortifying themselves for a hard day on the Cold War hustings.



Actually, I must admit I spent more time at the next table with the CBK SIG.

Busy day!

Easily lured away with the promise of free vino. This was 10:30 in the morning

You should see the empties we've put in the glass bin at chez iggie!
Don't even mention Eccles Cakes...

.....and that was already their 6th for the day?

You're clearly having a blast over there, David. Good on ya!

[Spaceowl]

Nice to meet you at last, David ( and everyone else on the UAMF team).

[ShaunW]

I have to compliment Daz on his choice of wine, very nice indeed. That was a really excellent weekend and it was great to catch up with the CBK and Cold War crews together with Ratch and Chris and, of course, the Three Amigos, safe trip back to the US and Oz, guys. Sorry I couldn't stay longer today but my mother in law has been suffering some health woes over the past few weeks and, although her health has recently improved, Mrs W wanted to get back in reasonable time to check all was well and help with some of the medication that her equally elderly dad struggles to manage.

We're doing fine, Stuart, ta very much and hopefully now I will finally be able to return to the bench. I bought a couple of Real Aeroplanes from those very nice men at Eduard over the weekend in the shape of a Sopwith Camel and Bristol Fighter so, all being well, I should be indulging in some stick and wire modelling for your delectation/amusement!

[skypirate]

Well, it's over; done and dusted.

I can attest that the CBK SIG table I spent most of my time at attracted many, many devout CBK worshippers (and I sent many on to the Nostalgic Kits SIG table behind us after we had wrung them out); bloody well done Matt and James and Chris and Ratch! Daz and the gang at the Cold War SIG table alongside had an extra attraction with their food and wine!



Great to meet ShaunW, and Spaceowl and Stupot briefly. Not to mention Iggie and TeeELL who had already joined the caravan here and there.

Thank you all for making new UAMF member Richard, and I welcome; I know Paul would say the same.

Top stuff! I hope we inspire more international UAMF members to attend. James cleverly suggested they come a week early and build models for display (instead of transporting them).

Cheers, everybody!

You also borrowed my pen!

[iggie]

Good to hear that all at SMW have had a great time!
I hope everyone got/gets home safely, especially the Three Amigos!

Was great to meet up with you guys. Safe travels and hope to meet up with you again someday.

All the best

Great to spend the weekend with you guys, let's hope it's not too long before we do it again
