Talking to David eariler almost all of the 80 tables are booked and the show will have some excellent outdoor exhibits. Caterpillar model speciallist Emlyn Jones will be there with his Hangar 13 range of Cat rebuilds in brass, I've seen the first of the very limited rage, and they are absolutely brilliant! I will be there selling copies of my book and my new DVDs "Moving the Earth-Scottish Mining Excavators" and "Moving the Earth-Dozers and Loaders"
Look forward to seeing you all in Blackburn on the 23rd

Hi Andy, looking forward to seeing what you have on your table this time around!

As an aside, I have been doing a bit of work with Liebherr GB recently and was at the NFDC demo day in coventry last week where they handed over a new R926 excavator to CMEC Demolition. To cut a long story short , CMEC's MD and Liebherr are supporting the Pink Ribbon breast cancer charity and are looking to collect as much cash for the charity as possible. To this end, Liebherr have very kindly donated a 764 dozer and 984 excavator models to be raffled off on the day. So, I'm afraid I'm going to be pestering everyone coming to the event to purchase a strip of tickets. Now I'm usually a nice and friendly chap but, under the right circumstances can be a nasty bugger , so if you don't want to see me angry I'm sure you will all happily purchase some tickets for this very good cause.

Thanks very much
Paul

I will buy some tickets off you, but will you wear this hat so we know who you are?

[Renaultman]

Yep I'll be there, it will be nice to put faces to names. Can't wait, wallet is shaking a bit though.
