[Mark Pennell]

Just a quick note to say thank you to all those who can and said hello to Ray, Angela, Kim and Myself on the BTS table.

Great to meet you all. I am sure there where a lot more of you creeping about who could have come over and had a chat

Few highlights of the day, actually seeing Andrew Smith behind the BTS table, meeting Peter (mad as a hatter) Lacey! I am sure my Daughter Brandon is now scared for life...

Peter Kirk handing Bill Bailey a BTS membership form, show poster and free journal.

Anyway thanks all for making a long day tolerable..

Cheers
Mark

Was a good day although i still prefer our Expo, nice to see every body again...

I can reccommend a good hypno-psychiatrist if you need to have Peter removed from Brandon's short term memory

Andrew on the BTS table....do we have photographic proof??...mind you he was pushing the "i can do that...i'm the Chairman" fact a lot yesterday.
(was he donated a bottle of the "delicate scientific material" i brought or did he just confiscate one using the "chairman" ploy, thats what he told me when i asked )

THE Bill Bailey?????

Oh man am i jealous!

[Colin D Wilson]

Yes "the" Bill Bailey.
Trouble is if he's like some of the other TV personalities and this is a stage name, then when he registers Mark will have to reject his application untill he uses his real name

Proof of course I have proof!
Although I was in deep shock at the time..

OH yeah he used I am the Chairman ploy and stole the beer! Of which we all thank you for Colin. Even if Tiger from up your neck of the woods is Real Ale..

Colin
Yes this is correct!...

[Lisa Baines]

according to wikipedia he's Mark Bailey hehehe!

I had no idea that Mr. Bailey was a tarantula man... thought he was great before now I think he's AWESOME lol! Top marks!!!!

[Phil Rea]

Our erstwhile chairman looks really happy to be there in that picture

[Samantha Lewanewsky]

Had a great day

Obviously wasn't as much fun as the BTS show !
hehe

Mr. Bailey isn't a tarantula man, Lisa, they're just hoping giving him free sweets would convince him to join! lol
The free sweets was actually my favourite part of the whole thing! lmao!

[Peter Lacey]

free sweets! nobody mentioned free sweets - now that would have turned me into a overactive adult, mmmm!
Was a great socialising day and a great opportunity to pick up some goodies (T. blondi & A. fascuilata), hug Mary, eat Sylvi's lovely chocolate cake, see newborn Tyler and mum Becky, plus a host of online friends from BTS, AP, RFUK & BN, watch Ray Gabriel cup hold of my 6" P. striata (thanks for the ID), and best of all seeing the BTS table do the Timewarp!
OK I made the last bit up, but there's always next time!!!

Super day, although I'm not a huge fan of the dead butterfly collections.

[mary walters]

Yup was a cracking day seeing everybody again, and our lil poem Peter lol, which you turned into a song......

[Peter Lacey]

[mary walters]

You know what I mean lol

[Peter Lacey]
