Not as big a turnout as last year but a good time was had by all.

John had threatened that the minibus would leave at 10:00 on the dot but there was no need for that because we set off at 09:45 with everybody present. Fantastic run up the A3M, A3 and A31, hardly a pothole all the way. Just an hour to Farnborough but unfortunately when within spitting distance of the event it then took another hour just to do the last mile. Eventually dropped off right at the front door, talk about door to door service and luckily the loos were just inside the door.

Off to the show. John allowed us until 16:00 at which point the bus was supposed to leave. It was really great to touch base with members of the Netley Shed, we really must try and get together one of these days, we could all have gone together in the bus. Typically one member decided to get lost so everybody started a manhunt. Thank goodness for mobile phones, as the miscreant turned up five minutes later so everybody had to be reacalled.

Home again by about 17:30. Many thanks to Paul, our driver, for such a pleasant drive. Author:Chris Nixon
