Hint hint eh? If we are going - it'll be BigHairyKev - Susieg - Rebeccag - Philipg in a Renault Clio - unless we buy a roof-rack - there may not be room

[BigHairyKev]

LOL - I do believe that little Clio can't get past Warp 8

[BigHairyKev]

WOW - that really was a LAST MINUTE change of plan

Sunday 4am - I was just starting to nod off to sleep when Susieg woke up - I said "You know what Lance Henrilson is doing now? Probably asleep in his hotel room getting rested for Memorabila's second day of signings." - Susieg said "Is he signing both days?" - so I got up and checked - "Yup" I said - so Susieg jumped up and said "We're going!"

I thought she was kidding at first but she burst into a flurry of activity - inlcuding finding and printing out driving directions.

We were hoping to go with Geordilinka but he was still at work - so I'm really sorry Geordi - I said sometimes she was a bit "last minute" but this has to be the most spontainious to date!

Pitch black - racing 200 miles down the motorway - getting soaked to the skin between car park and shuttle bus - STRESS!

We met some old friends and some new friends and Susieg was given the task of asking the stars to be HONORARY MEMBERS of EDF - she asked 12 - and received TWELVE agreements - AMAZING ! - that's 1000 Points each Susieg

The Honorary Members page will be updated later today and I'll post when it's ready.

Susieg drove home in the rain and traffic jams to have us back at home base for 9:45pm - busy day indeed!

The Digital Camera didn't seem to be working well so we lost some great shots - but what we have will be posted soon

[Susieg]

I think after the last few months it was about time I returned to my old self. Life is too short to miss out on things we find pleasurable, I had wanted to meet Lance Henrikson but after the collectamania weekend I have to admit to being wary of this type of event. In the end Lance won and even though he was the only guest there I was eager to meet I have to admit I wish we had attended the entire weekend. Memorabilia is an event I will return to, it is a definite plus having a paid door entry. The guest signings were nicely spread out and I found none of the hassle of being moved along and bellowed at to move to allow shoppers to get through (despite the fact we were waiting in a queue to meet a guest at the time) like the Collectamania fair. The only downside was the problem with the digital camera and I have no pictures of lance (well 1 if I count the one of him standing with his minder for the day) but there will be other events and we may encounter him again.
I was chuffed to eventually meet Kenneth Cope after all these years, and what a gentleman.
I will be posting a page on my website soon with a synopsis of the day and the piccys I managed to get.

Susieg (spontaneity is my middle name)

EDITOR'S NOTE - Edited due to calling Susieg "SusieQ" - SusieQ and Susieg are seperate Members

I think we need a new Digital Camera too - we lost a few shots of Memorabila due to camera failure

I wished I had bought a new camera before we went (although not much choice at that time on a Sunday morning) I have to admit it was worth the trip even though the piccy of me with Lance didnt come out . I am a little miffed as the camera I have is only a year old and it was one of the better ones when I purchased it. I have a compulsion for new technology which is a little over zealous at times. I wish I had been able to take the camcorder but due to the late descision to attend I had no batttery charged for it.
Hopefully I will be able to meet him again, on the plus side I did manage to get to meet Kenneth Cope who played the Hopkirk in 'Randal and Hopkirk deceased' he was very nice and I even got a peck on the cheek

The sports stars were wasted on me but the queue's for them were long.

I will try to temper my enthusiasm next time and give a little notice, I should have the dream machine back to ride in so all will be well.

Thank You BigHairyKev.
I do understand that you have to maintain control whilst trying to keep on everyone's good side, and I apologise to you for making this trivial thing into an issue.

[BigHairyKev]

If it's upset you - which it obviously has - then it's not trivial at all - enjoy the Boards
