    I knew that, I didn't include the joke with it.

    It would still be a ways from NC to NJ. About a 2 day drive for me. But, seems I have friends in NJ now.

    Ken in NC

    You going that early Matt! I will have to bring another couple of prescription "Medicine bottles" of the Sloe variety! I will probably get there on the Thursday. Will be great to see everyone again. - Steve.

    Hopefully, the trouble last time was that arriving lunch time on the Saturday, I only had a half day before packing up Sunday morning and coming home. Driving that far with the caravan I just feel I should stay a bit longer. I'll be able to enjoy your medicine too as I will have time to recover. :lol: My display will be a bit more interesting this time as well, not so many storm lamps and more hanging stuff and as I'm typing this on the stove forum the Optimus 510 or what ever it is will be coming as well. :lol:

    Excellent it'll be good fun then. Yes Steve's gin will go down well, should we keep you to one mug though. ;) I'll have a bottle of Jack D's in the van for any midnight tipples. :lol:

    I missed Newark last year - I was in hospital.
    I will be there this year and determined to make up for lost time.
    No matter what the weather is, it is always a great experience and I look forward to meeting old friends and new.

    I will be there from Wednesday (or maybe Tuesday) - can't wait! :D :D :D
