I may be around and about. I'll know for sure on Saturday.
Kirk, saw the Graphene article on the news this week and thought of you.
Fingers crossed to meet again next Sunday.
If it's anyone's first time - I'll be wearing my bright orange hot-pants so just keep an eye out for me and you know you are in the right place.
I won’t know until the day I’m afraid as it depends if the job I’m working on is finished, I’m sure you’ll all be relieved and massively more sober if I can’t get there ;)
I spoke to the venue again and they are going to do the usual £5 a head buffet. I’ve ordered it for 15 people which is probably too many - Alec I hope your street is hungry again.
I’ll be there from 12:30 on the day.
Good man Kirk!
I hope it's ok to bring a "plus one" again as I'll be off watching the footie a bit later on. Might as well turn it into a day out since the 710 has given me a pass.
(The lad I'm out on the pi55 with is the same one who won Fords Patek Philippe leather coaster last year. Still proudly displayed despite him NOT owning a watch!)
Of course Kev, he’s a good lad - strange trainer hobby though!
Not long to go, weather for Sunday is looking good

Looking forward to it Gentlemen!
Edit - a chap at the venue keeps texting me confirming the buffet order and saying how much they are looking forward to it...we must have spent a fortune in there last time!

Line those beers up gentlemen.
My mission for today (if I get time..) is to track down Fords! I’m going to hunt him like I’m Dog the Bounty Hunter.
We can’t have a GTG without him. He can be banned but he can’t hide!
I seem to recall he owns or co-owns or certainly has a financial interest in a little pawnbrokers in Middleton doesn't he?
I may have to work tomorrow so would struggle to get over to MCR, pity as i enjoyed the last GTG (my first).
Let me know if you need a donation for the food if it was ordered per head on the basis of who said they'd be attending...
Cheers,
Glenn
I'll definitely be attending
Paul
Well I’m just back from my mission. I’ve either just put a letter through Ford’s letterbox (no Soundood action) or a person in a random house is now wondering what a TZ GTG means!
I reckon it was his house - it had a stained glass window featuring a parrot.
Ah good point that, Kirk let me have payment details for food in case I can’t get away from work tomorrow I wouldn’t leave anyone out of pocket
There should be enough people to cover the 15x buffet order Bootneck my old bean - just try to attend!
I will be trying my best, if there isn’t enough there to cover costs and I dont make it please let me know and I will pay my share I’m hoping to get finished in time to make it fingers crossed. Although I’m sure many of you will have to phone in sick to work on Monday if I do manage to get there :)
Today’s the day gents. Will we drink too much? Will Alansmithee look good in hot pants? Will Burnsey turn up? Is Fords lost forever?
We will be down within the hour

Have a great time everyone. Sorry that I won't be able to make it today.
Thanks for a great afternoon Gents, I think we may need a larger room next time
Good butties as well

Come on Bootneck, the staff are missing you!
Missing me like a hole in the head lol
Sorry Ive literally just walked in from Work one of those hellish “has to be ready for Monday” days .
I hope everyone had a good time and that at least one of you is still out and carrying on through.
Good to see everyone and as agreed at the GTG I will put my tactic orange hot pants on sales corner later (unwashed).
Great to meet, talking to others with this illness is comforting that I'm not alone

Sorry I missed another one. I’m determined to get to another one soon though. Glad it sounds like another successful outing.
It's just a matter of time...
Another great GTG chaps, albeit calmer than the last one! Fantastic to meet old mates and see some new faces.
And guess what? Even Burnsey turned up!
Unclealec will be putting the remains of the buffet on SC later this evening.
Gutted I couldn’t go, if not just to hear the bar staffs stories of my last visit although there where some lovely watches on display last time too.
I am so sorry, I didn't realise that was what I was supposed to do with the food; Babs & I have eaten it all.
Great to see everyone again and for the first time in a couple of cases. Didn't manage to have a chat with Mike which is a shame, but the other end of the room was awash with interesting talk and superb timepieces. Specially pleased to have met the legend that is Burnsey.
Thanks Kirk for doing all the spadework.
Tha tabletopwatchfest will look good; who took those photos?
Thanks for the GTG chaps, great to meet you all, just sorry I had to leave early.
