We all had a great time, thanks Ross for organising as usual , and nice to catch up with old friends and also make some new ones . Can't wait for next year
I beg your pardon, whose display? - c'mon, referee... But apart from that, a great report, John - many thanks...
Don't be like that David so you had an SL1 big deal ! Mmmm and a Bialaddin handlamp (Or Two) Mmmm and a 'Mountie' (or two) Ok ok nice lamps Good event as always, so pleased the weather was on our side (nothing worse than shite weather) Good one Ross Cheers
Looks like an enjoyable meeting! Our Scout camp near Guilford was a rather wet and muddy affair! Hmm! I wonder what the Scout sites will be like around Newark next year Baz
Nah, I was just meaning it was 'Ray and David's display'. You brought the nice Imber Research bowlfire and the Mark I Bialaddin version as well as a few other things (such as the toothbrush and Sweetex wrapper! ) The two Coleman 427K 'Mounties' brought no interest as far as I could see - d'oh!
Many thanks to all for the great day from my dad and I,we got some bargains,and great advice,a brilliant day!! Lee
All of everyone's pics are a treat for those of us half way around the world. You guys have some real collections. nice to see some of them. Thanks Ivan
What! - you got an absolutely immaculate and rare Imber Research bowlfire for just £20! You didn't tell me that. Not to mention that ultra-early Mk.I Bialaddin bowlfire (you know, the one you're going to let me have, one day ). You jammy bas... The SL Hospital and Survey lamp was yours, as was the scarce chrome-topped (2/72) X246B courtesy of the electricity shortages due to the miners' strike. And a nice '60s FL6...
After some fettling, my only purchase burning fine (may need some more adjustment to the air gap. Sound like a right lampie don't I, but as you know. lamps are just so you can see to use your stove.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Newark, a big thank you to all who have made it yet another very successful event! Even had the chance to make & bake my own pizza . I was also glad to see Brian (kawa) in good health, here's hoping we'll see you again next year! All the best, Wim (no photo's as my camera was sitting next to my 'puter where I reloaded the battery.....)
GOOD WEATHER, GOOD COMPANY, GREAT STOVES AND LAMPS. VERY ENJOYABLE. WELL DONE EVERYBODY AND ESPECIALLY ROSS FOR ORGANISING THE MEET. LOOK FORWARD TO NEXT YEAR'S EVENT.
Hi Ted. A good variety of photos showing some of the displays of members of CCS and CPL. Here are some photos of part of the social side of Newark 2016 - the Fettlers Arms pub.
Great Photos! Any more out there....? I'd like to make it down for the 15th next year, shifts depending Alec.
@Rangie it would be great to see you at Newark next year. The same applies to anyone else. I do know that some members are hesitant about going to Newark because they are nervous about their collection of lamps and/or stoves, but it is so informal that people who attend for the first time usually come back again and again. I know a number of people who did not possess even one stove or lantern turn up but they left with 'freebies' from the generous members. Anyone and everyone is made welcome.
