I remember having a steam up in a pub somewhere over there  back in the seventies They gave us nice white paper tablecloths to protect their tables and Bob Fleming managed to set fire to his. You can't take some people anywhere. The Eccentric fcrammond wrote: Nice poster but I'm not too sure about your claim to be the first in Earl Shilton.

Ok you won't need chairs I just want you to bring a table but I hope we don't need it will you need electric Swift Fox m8dave wrote: Swift Fox wrote: I hope to attend and i'll make sure i bring a table/chairs with me. Ok you won't need chairs I just want you to bring a table but I hope we don't need it will you need electric That's cool, i won't be needing electric. Dr. Rog Do you want me to bring the playpen? It needs two solid tables, preferably the same height for obvious reasons. I prefer it if others also bring their mobiles to run on it as it is hard work keeping something in steam. If I do bring it then I "need" only one other table for exhibiting/parking/Conan roundabout. Preferably immediately adjacent. You could run mobiles on the floor if you have suitable safety barriers of course. I can bring a folding plastic picnic table, which should be good for the Conan roundabout, and sitting about drinking coffee, buy not a lot else. It will do for my "other table" if we are restricted. I can bring a pasting table, but it is rather weak, better than nothing if we run out. Have you a risk assessment sorted? m8dave Dr Rog is bring his play pen so he any of you have got any mobiles and want to run them around I am shore he will let you Swift Fox I'll make sure i bring my green SW1 if the playpen is going to be there. Casey Jones Snr Dave, I will be there. I will need a table, no electrics, but I can bring a long extension cable with 4 sockets if you need it. m8dave Casey Jones Snr wrote: Dave, I will be there.
