    I have a light weight sack barrow Steve. (will handle washing machines etc)
    I have padded the uprights so speakers etc wont rub.
    Also have bungee rope to hold things down while being moved.

    I can bring these, if they would help?

    Thumbs up Nebo 8 just around the corner.

    Well, i managed to borrow a van so i think i will kick back and enjoy myself at Nebo 8 on Saturday. Looking forwards to meeting up with the usual suspects and hopefully not embarrass myself again. Sadly i have to announce that R2R legend and audio guru Alan Towell won't be attending. He of course will be missed as he is hugely respected amongst us all.
    I will be teaming up with another Nebo stalwart Mik Rik on this occasion and mixing things up a little. I will also bring along my R2R and see if Rich will let me play some of my special music a little later on. So, Hopefully see you down there...

    Nice one Steve lad. We'll finally get to hear some of your cracking kit!

    Shame Alan can't make it though, his systems are always a treat. Reel spinners and all.

    Going to be a good day, got a flight to catch home from Alicante today. Get some gear and tunes together and with a fair wind I'll be there for kick off tomorrow.

    May the gods of the skies be with us!
    One of these days... I'm going to cut you into little pieces.

    Shame Alan T can't make it, always a good contributor, your R2R is must have, now Steve.
    I will be there early, (with sack truck) so can give you a hand unloading.

    Anyone not bringing kit, with a more relaxed schedule, bring a camera and snap away to help record the day.
