I'll be Exhibiting again this year, although last year was vinyl but this year I think I will take the CDP. I've got syndicate 16 which I hope will be a bit bigger than the pokey bedroom I had last year. But the real bonus is I will be a long way from OB1's room and 120db of heavy metal pounding through the walls all day long. Jeez I went home with one hell of a headache after that.
Be lovely to see some of you if you care to drop by with any of your own CD's
ALSO if any one is close by and wants a lift give me a shout, as long as your prepared to help me hump my speakers up too the first floor and back again at the end of the day.

Same with you, Stewart. I would like to discuss vintage BBC broadcast equipment with you, and of course listen to some of those superb reel-to-reels...
Hope you have a great show!

I can't believe myself how much I paid for them, but f*ck it, it's only money
TBH, I went round on Friday night to listen to them and check the condition, and fell in love with them on the spot.

Are you going on the Choo Choo on Saturday or Sunday, if its Sunday you do know the first train doesn't arrive until after 12.00. This doesn't leave very long when you factor in the journey to Scalford. If Saturday of course no problem but useful info for others.
First year I learnt this lesson, last year got picked up in Peterborough and this year found a B+B so making a Curry and day of it.
