The weather was good and the show was huge, I never got round it all, here's some more photos, though I've had to delete some as they turned out terrible….

Some Very nice Pics .I'll put mine up later.

Gammy, thanks for the compliment a few speed bumps on the way early on but I've had a good fun life so far maybe that helps.

Me and the wife had a terrific day & it was nice to meet you as you were a good host and a gentleman.

Big respect to all that attended and those making us two Nottingham folk feel welcolme ( ps I am originally from Handsworth so I did understand the accents)
We will catch up soon.

Thanks again Carl.
