Neil

Not my description Neil.

Still think you got the better deal Pike?

As always Doug

Doug,

Neil

Kevin

Final briefing tonight for Sunday's visit to the Shuttleworth Collection.

Roy

PS; Clive, I'll have a Victoria Sponge please.

Roy,

I won't be able to attend tonight, but I would like to go to the Shuttleworth collection.

Stuart

Guys sorry could not make tonite but spent most of day in hospital with my Dad have some very wierd tests, did not get back to late and have some work to finish for tomorrow, but will see you at Shuttleworth, who is going?
Tony

Sorry to hear about your dad Tony, I hope it nothing non too serious.

Have a great day Sunday, sorry I wont be there, the Shuttleworth Collection dont do electric scooters for the disabled and although Doug and Roy said it wouldn't bother them pushing me round in a wheel chair I think its not only unfair on them but the poor wheelchair as well lol.

I have send you a pm about those medal that need framing and the replacement ribbons.

Kevin

Stuart, Tony,

Doug and myself plus 2 friends aim to get there about 11 a.m.

Not sure of the layout of the place so I'll PM you my mobile number and we'll make contact when we are there. The Telford branch will also be in attendance.

Shame about Kevin though.

Roy

Tony, hope everything went OK yesterday.

We will, but as Neil is driving and we need to meet you there at 11.00am on Sunday, we will be leaving on Thursday afternoon

Stephen

best set off now
