Colblimp Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I'm coming over from Ireland for the Photo Show at the NEC in September. Myself and a couple of other A***y heads are meeting on Sunday 20th September at the show. It would be great if some of you would be available for a coffee and a chat. If anyone's interested, just add your name below! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacecadet Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 (edited) Ah, memories.......its predecessor Photography At Work used to be one of our works outings. That and whatever the RPS had on at the Octagon in Spring, a not-too-unpleasant drive along the A4 (not the M4, heaven forbid), morning coffee in Marlborough and lunch at The Hole in the Wall where we were collecting loyalty stamps for a freebie- only ever got 5 out of 6 because the RPS moved to a salt mine in Devizes. It went back to Bath eventually but we never did. Looks like the Hole closed this year as well. Sigh. Edited August 3, 2021 by spacecadet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan That was another feature of Photokina- exhibitors weren't allowed to sell stuff off the stands. No more. 🙁.

Allan Bell Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 As we get closer I was thinking "shall I". Then looked at the distance and time to drive from where I am staying to NEC and back, and considering the long drive home the following day. Nah. Hey! Wait a minute! I could get the train from Crewe to Birmingham International station. Hmmm! As Edo would say, "YIKES!" not at over £25 in each direction. So Sorry guys I would love to have seen you all there but not this time. Allan Now listen to the big sighs of relief from all those going.🙂 ITMA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
