At least he left the table

Ted ( quiet forumite)

Ted, maybe quiet but he does do some truly wonderful and imaginative work. Hopefully he'll post those that he brought with him today.

Was the pen made?

Only a small spread I am afraid.

I think I was clear on what I told Wheelinround but alas I think I might have mucked it up.

He is the run down

Jane's friend who has returned from China has given birth today. Jane was asked by her friend to take to hospital (Yesterday at 17:30ish). Sometime later 14 - 16 hours her friend gave birth to a baby boy.

At 10am I called Jane to confirm my pickup time as my car is not working. She mention that she will be a little late. So I called Weehinround to inform. It was not until later that I got a the details from Jane. So I sent a SMS to Wheelinround.

And thanks I will passon your best wishes.

A huge thanks to Dave and his parents for hosting the GTG and feeding us all (so well), to Ray for organising the event , and to Jim and Sharon for joining us from Melbourne .
And I'm sorry that I couldn't stay to hear out Jim and his demo; little Miss Madison needed her arvo nap.
The discussion (particularly tool related) was great, and I look forward to taking on board much that was discussed.

Thanks again and hope to catch you all again (maybe at the next one)

TT

To everyone

I am sorry that I was not able to attend.

Seems that this was a nice turnout. Will now have to wait for the next one.

Nope your message was clear SMS that is.

The phone conversation was hard to hear to many fellows talking.

Not to worry Christos a Christmas GTG is in the planning again at Dave's
