Simon Denscombe (AKA Carbon 60)
Ian Bishop
Tony Prestman
Chris Dee
Liam (surname escapes me)
Sean (Jon's offline AFOL)
Alan Kershaw
Simon Robinson
and last but not least, from the US, Michael Huffman.

range (!) and baulk at the prices :-)

I'm sure others will post more details in due course. I'll post pictures on
my website later on today.

Hi all, I'm slowly getting back to normal after the 'fest, i.e. I'm running late! Anyway, my thanks indeed to everyone who attended and helped to make it one of my best weekends ever 8-) I came out of it with some wonderful old hard-to-find pieces, (...) (25 years ago, 21-Sep-99, to lugnet.loc.uk)
