This one was in the other room, so I suspect that you managed to retrieve all your gear. That MF of yours is pretty solid bit of kit, hope your back is okay this morning?

Thanks to everyone who attended and for the industrial amounts of cake. I don't think even Dean couldn't eat any more. 
A fantastic day, at least the journey home was less stressful! Without prompting it would have been easy for us all to still be there :D  

I did come to the conclusion that there were more cars than people! A few pictures for those not on Facebook

aye, very pleased with it - once the AE2s warmed up that we singing

had a "discussion" with the son about his lack of support carrying, reply? "well you should have woken me up"

me "I did and you sat up and said OK" I realised that 20 mins later he had fallen back to sleep

Looks like a good time was had by all. Having been to one of Nicky and Fred's bake offs when they were in Wales, I know what generous hosts they are. If there is to be one next year, and an overnight stop is available, I must try to make it  :^

Colin, you are always welcome, and we are required to have a spare bed for guests, such as visiting clergy so you might as well make use of it. The good news although it is a long slog,  we are only a couple of minutes from the A1.

Thanks to Fred and Nicky,  great hosts.  

Small apology from me,  I normally contribute kit and home made cake,  but between dog sitting an extra woofer and not being home got in the way.

No worries, we are stilling ploughing through the cake mountain, that everyone brought on the day. Even beating Dean. 

My Roadies do work better on a diet of donuts though.

big thanks to Fred and Nicky for hosting. great day out, good food, good company and good music (on occasion...  ;-) )

was a bit unsure of the main speakers at the start of the day, probably just a size/shape thing... but by the end of the day was thoroughly enjoying them with the krell.

The Focal's are a nightmare with supporting kit as they are expert at exposing any weaknesses in them. But given the right kit they have some great strenghts, although they really need a bigger room to shine.

A late thank you from me, needless to say I had a great time with the usual suspects and am in awe of Nicky's hostessing skills. Real trooper!

Loads too much food. Loads too much bad music. Loads too many mozzi bites. And Darren  :D
