Talking W&p

What do you think about all getting together?

Saturday morning.

Anybody got any ideas for a meeting piont?

If you can't bring your carrier bring pictures or something interesting to do with carriers.

(Richard if it's your first W&P beware you won't get round in a day.)

It's good to put a face to a name!!

It never happened if there's no photos!

As you have seen, convergences of MLU members at Corowa in Aust and at BB and Gracies in Canada have resulted in group pics. A UK meeting should also be recorded for posteriors! (Erm, ....posterity!)

Richard,

People from all over the world fly in to the UK and take the train to Beltring. The nearest train station is Paddock Wood Railway Station. From there less than 2 mile walk, or a short bus ride, or hitch a ride on all those green army trucks driving up and down to Paddock Wood to fetch beer. Check the W&P website, there must be some info there.

HTH,
Hanno

P.S.: strange eh, that you need a Dutchman to tell you the nearest railway station?
