Mods - could you make this a sticky please 'til after the event

Chaps, a final reminder about the Rycotewood event on the 12th and 13th Feb. All details can be found on the Axminster web page The big issue is one of parking, this was sent to me earlier in the week:

There is limited parking available at the college.

- Thurs 11th Feb: 1 parking space will be available for you for set up from 4pm on. The college will close at 9.30pm. I will let you or whoever have a parking permit when you arrive.

- Friday 12th Feb: sorry but there will be no parking available for you at the college as this is a normal college day and I am suggesting to people that they park in the public carpark opposite the campus entrance. A word of warning though, it's quite expensive. Please see map http://www.ocvc.ac.uk/campuses-and-location .

- Saturday 13th Feb: again 1 parking space will be available for you from 8.30am until breakdown after 4pm. I will let you or whoever have a parking permit for that day.


If anyone wants to set up the UKW bench on Thurs pm from 4.30 onwards, there won't be a problem, my feeling is that those who want to do the Friday session will just be able to turn up on the morning and set up.
Before anyone throws teddy out the pram, by a curious coincidence the parking permit for Saturday ended up on my doormat :whistle: so please don't 'key' the Landy when you see it outside the college on Saturday :lol:
My suggestion is, as previously mentioned, is that members bring their stuff in using the Park n'Ride - Rob
 
I'm not sure what day I'll be there yet. Probably Saturday.

I will be there Saturday, really looking forward to it.

Making a weekend of it so have a cottage booked in Burford for the weekend, missus driving me in with my stuff on the Sat morning to drop me off then head to her parents in Kent then spending Sunday around Oxford and Cotswolds, sorted! :D
 
Hm, The event will be focusing on the quality range of Lie-Nielsen hand tools etc.
Isn't this just a promo? All the usual suspects. :roll:
Remember Billy Graham? It sounds potentially too happy-clappy for me.
I suppose I could loiter at the back and shout "QUANG...SHENG, OY OY OY" at intervals.
 
you missed the bit that said "mr_grimsdale, not invited"

Tom - if you know which day you are going to be there i'll try to meet up and we can finally swap cash for chisels.
 
It probably said "nor is wizer" But I'm dyslexic ;)

Prob Sat Pete

do you know what time ? - oxfords not that far for me so i can probably work round you

i'll meet you under the clock, wear a red carnation, carry a copy of the new internationalist in your left hand, and make sure you arent followed - remember they have eyes everywhere :D :D

or alternatively i'll just meet you by the ukw stand - there cant be that many slap head back whingers coming so i imagine you'll be easy to spot :lol: - i'll be the tall raffishly handsome bloke being followed by a trail of adoring females :whistle:

I'll be there, so there will be at least two...

;)

ahh well if i try to press money on you and demand a set of kirschen chisels in return you will know who i am (which is just as well as the description i gave above may be .... shall we say... not totally accurate ;) )
 
We'll have to play it by ear Pete. I can't actually say for certain if I'll be there, for reasons I won't go into, again.

But if I do go, I imagine I'll be there from mid morning until they drag me out by my ear an hour after closing ;)

okay - i'll aim for circa lunch time so if you are there i'll probably catch up with you at some point.
 
Deneb Puchalski is doing the rounds of the Axminster stores before the Rycotewood event - anyone know if there will be any discounts on LN stuff to grease the slope a bit - cannot make Rycotewood but could possibly make Axminster at Bobbing on 11th when Deneb is there demonstrating :whistle:

Steve
 
Hopefully see you at Bobbing if I can make it Steve.
