I've heard rumours that a bit of drinking goes on whilst there too...

 

Thanks for posting those links - I'd even forgotten I was there until I saw the pix, which brought it all flooding back!

 

archie and i will be there. looking forward to it.

 

So what's his project for this year?

 

He's welcome to relieve me of a gold 246B if he wants

 

He could take part in the lightup then...

 

If he's not careful he could also end up with 50 X246Bs kindly donated by the rest of us!

I don't want to bring home my remaining one either...

 

we've got a couple as it is. but with 2 bialadins and a modern coleman, the tilleys never see any use.

 

Bring them along, the more the merrier, we want to make sure we hit the 50...

I hopefully I have some tags on the way for those who do want to identify their lamps and get them back

 

I'm in Nottingham on business on Friday, is it OK to come along? I like some advice on two burner Ultimus that refuses to pump and I've also got a 96 with a burner from an Optimus 00 that has a failed solder joint on the filler that I'd like some tips on...

 

blackjack - You'll find everyone is very friendly and helpful, just pop in...

 

Yep, no need to book or anything like that.

When you get to the venue you'll find there's a barrier. Just use the intercom button to tell reception you're with the 'stovies and lampies' and you'll be let in...

 

Great - looking forward to it.

 

I am certainly coming too. Can't wait to see you all there.

I've not got an X246B, having given all mine away. I am going to the tip tomorrow where they sometimes have them for sale. But I ain't paying more than three quid .

Great to hear you will be there Archie.
I have a feeling that you will be going home with more than you bring!

 

It's 6:10 pm and I'm still by the pool - still hoping to get over on Saturday , just hope the plane doesn't get delayed or we have another volcanic ash cloud! I'm sure I can muster a few tilley's for the event :-)

 

Kev - the event won't be the same if you don't turn up.
Get your fill of the sunshine and get back to to the rain!

 

We have a red 246b, a gold one with issues, and I think I have a gold one in my for sale box (I live in hope).
Wasn't going to bring these as I know how fond everyone is of them but if I can squeeze them in the car, I will (too many lamps now, need a bigger car)!

My advice; bring the gold one(s) but leave the red one at home. There we are; that's saved you the space of one lantern already.

Whatever the issues are, I'm sure they won't last for long...
