Oh that sounds fun - Mark, I might be a bit later, better bring the Land Rover! ;)

:lol:

If you're coming in on the Nottingham Rd (A606), you need to drive all the way to the lights in Melton (A607) and then turn left and left again. Ignore any exhortations from SatNavs to do otherwise or you will get stuck.

Well i've just found out this afternoon that i've pulled a Saturday shift at work :steam: just my bloody luck so i won't be attending (i was really looking forward to meeting you guys too) Anyway i hope you all get there and back in one piece, you have a great time and none of your gear goes wrong.

I'll make sure next year to book some holidays.

well i was planning on going down for the weekend, set off in the car 9ish Saturday morning, spend the night, and drive back sunday night, but after a late shift on Saturday, i don't fancy a 5 or 6 hour round trip drive on Sunday, as i have an early start Monday morning. :( bloody work gets in the way of a good time every time.

Ah, gotcha Mike, now i understand. Bloody shame though m8 :(

Reid Malenfant

Oh yes, very nice pictures Philip :) I'm pretty sure i now realise i recognised you but couldn't place the face, of course it was your pics on here :eyebrows:

I think myself & Alex UK managed to visit just about every room but might have missed a couple, it's like a rabbit warren at that place :eek: I took pics in each & every room i went in though so i'll see about sorting them out at some stage shortly :)

I reckon that's why i missed a couple of rooms :D Honestly it was very confusing until you understood the basic layout, it'd have been a nightmare without the supplied guide :mental:

OMG, i took 165 pictures, give me a few days to sort them all out :eek:

This looks an interesting setup. What were the speakers and how did it sound??

I believe the speakers were Leak 2705's. It sounded like very good quality 1970's Hi-Fi :)

Turntable looks great, but it's a shame some bird's left her make-up brush lying around making the place look untidy. :eyebrows:

I'm assuming the Oyaide and Blue Horizon mats - though I wouldn't really say you can see them :)
