Confused of Cheshire.

Do we need a Committee then ?

No, just a brewery to organise it in.

Why have I got an image of "The Wheeltappers' and Shunters' Club" popping into view?

Are you automatic, or manual?

Top table is for two M8's, then one M8, but two batteries...... Bar stools for the Panasonic twins. Perhaps a corner table can be made available for you M7 users.

I have not been watching the forum and so I am very late with my response here. I'd be interested in meeting up on the 16th. Am I too late to join the M7 users on the corner table?

Hi Chris, send Rolo a PM - he was booking a table at the pub where we're eating.

Hi,

I don't know if I was counted as in or not, but unfortunately I won't be able to make it up to Manchester for that weekend now.

Thanks Steve.

I'm using the Poll at the top of this thread as a guide to how many definites we have and at the moment it's just 10, plus the CakeMakers makes12. That's in line with the booking I've made and will firm up as we get nearer.

If you're coming and haven't voted, can you please do so. A side benefit is that you'll also be entitled to a mouthful of Punch from the International Moderator in my left corner ..... Andeeey Baaarton.

Or more likely, vice versa

Rolo · 11/28/07, 09:49 PM

By the way, I've invited David Stephens to join us and he seemed thrilled and agreed to turn up.

In the spirit of Chritmas, it would be good to bring your credit cards along and allow David to exhaust his M8 stock before the 25th.

Rolo

Is Ivan the Clock still not joining us?

Excellent news. At the last Leica event we organised in Berlin we were all given a little something from Leica. Perhaps David could do the same - I'd settle for a 28mm Summicron or a 50mm ASPH Summilux <grin>.

If you're reading this David, that a joke. Please come along, it'd be great to see you.

That's excellent news. He can show me how to use the bloody D-Lux 3

stunsworth · 11/29/07, 09:27 AM

Actually there will be a little something from Leica for everyone. Can anyone guess what it might be?

elansprint72 · 11/29/07, 11:19 AM

Pre-paid return labels to send duff cameras back to Solms?

Good to see the spirit of Christmas coming through, Mr Scrooge.

Pete doesn't use 'real' Leica cameras, everyone know that the only true Leica is a film M - none of that digital or SLR rubbish <grin>.

andybarton · 11/29/07, 05:13 PM

I think I might bring my "real" Leica along.

Might make me a real Leica shooter.

spylaw4 · 11/29/07, 07:39 PM

Sounds as though it will be a real blast - I"m almost sorry I can't make it! But we southerners will try to make up for it the week before!
Enjoy yourselves!
