[garyhiggins]

I'll bring a couple of packs of Jelly Babies with me to distract him Meanwhile the dogs are just staging their own anti austerity protest by demanding a significant share in my hamburger.
Looking forward to Saturday, Gary.

Alarm clock's set at 'stupid o'clock'. All I need to remember is to switch it on on Friday.
Aiming to be there for door opening time.

P.S. I'll be at the Plymouth Model Soldier Society display, so please come and say Hello.

Presumably then, George Hanger's figure of Custer with his ------- out to fully express his contempt for the Indians wouldn't be eemed suitable?.

Free ?????????? My first bust in 15 years will be on display on our (BMSS Northants) stand, sculpted cast AND painted. I don't know what happened, I even used acrylic? Metalics??? Still, I'm no longer terrified of acrylics.
See you Saturday, Gary.

 

[DaddyO]

Oooooh hidden Jelly beans, as if there weren't enough reasons for coming

 

[Nap]

Hi guys,

Thanks for comments .....

Gary ..look forward to seeing the little gem of yours ..best put a electric fence around Northants display !!

DaddyO ....a great idea but somehow I think old " slim " Jimbo might sniff them out too easy .....

Looking forward to the day ..good weather booked off to the gym to tone up ready !!

See you all there ..whatever happens ENJOY the day

Nap

Gary....ACRYLCS......

 

[Martin Philpott]

I'm rather worried regarding the sugar rush these jelly beans will cause the members who partake...... sounds like you lot are far too hyper active and totally nuts as it is

Looking forward to meeting folk, even that Kevin fella, instigator of many naughty happenings

Martin.

 

[Jimbo]

Oh no I hate jelly beans!!!!....looking forward to the day, knees will be on display & thanks Kev & Bob for making it happen
Cheers
Jim

 

[garyhiggins]

Yes Kev ACRYLICS. We don't have an electric fence, but we do have some battery powered cattle prods.
Seriously though, we don't always put out the signs saying "Only too happy to answer questions" or "Please feel free to stop and chat", but we hope you'll take it as read.
See you tomorrow, Gary.

 

[DaddyO]

T'was the night before Christmas . . . .

Ooooooh how excited are we then.

See you tomorrow folks (I'll be keeping my knees carefully tucked out of sight, but will be looking out for any stray jelly beans so watch out!)

So excited I managed to post this twice!?!

 

[Viking Bob]

As excited as an extremely excited person can be.

 

[Martin Philpott]

Excited for sure. Going to be a long day, up at 5.30 leave home 6.15 into Exeter for 7 to pick up other club members before getting to the venue for 9.15 - 9.30ish. Won't be back in the door again until around 8ish.....its going to have to be a Chinese takeaway for sure

Aren't you the lucky one to have such a long lie-in.
My alarm goes off just before 4am, with pick-ups between 5 and 5.15.
Still, at least this year the journey will be in daylight both ways.
See you all tomorrow.

Cheers
Andrew
