2005… sign uk…. we all meet?

[Shane Drew]

seems like a lot of eatin and drinkin goin on there mate. 😉 Was it a sign show that was attached to a bar, or a bar attached to a sign show 😮 😀 😀

Thanks for the piccies, everyone looks different to the avatars. Didn’t recognise andy without that glass to his face 😮

[Jill Marie Welsh]

I’m still hoping to make the scene, but it will have to be the Wednesday….
will anybody from here be there?
Love….Jill

[John Harding]

Jill if youre making an appearance we’ll all be there! 😀

John

[John Childs]

I should think so Jill. Wednesday seemed to be the favourite day this year. That’s probably when I will go.

[David Rowland]

Wednesday is our day normally

[Jayne Marsh]

I’ll definitely be there, Wednesday is my day. Look forward to meeting you!

[Dave & Rob Lowery]

Wednesday for me too! 😀

[Paul Goodwin]

I’ll make Weds and Mrs Mort wants to come as well 🙁

[Robert Lambie]

hope she drives paul? that way you can have a good drink 😉

[David Rowland]

A Mrs Mort? What does she think of CoD?

[Carrie Brown]

We will go with the flow, will know more as the time gets closer …. we have to rely on my mum to look after the kids which is always a last minute descision on her part.

😀

[Jill Marie Welsh]

I truly will try to be there Wednesday the 10th.
Be forewarned…I’m a hugger!
(and I act brash like most Yanks but I’m harmless)
It will be so neat to connect real people with avatars.
Love….jill

Had to read that twice Jill, I thought it said bugger! 😳

I’ll get me coat….

[Carrie Brown]

I cant wait to see you and exchange huge hugs Jill if we both make it. Looking forward to meeting everyone who goes to be honest …. since being a member here … I have not met one single person yet …. so Sign UK is going to be the meeting place for me 😀

[Lee Ballard]

Well we’re planning on being there on wednesday too 😀

[Robert Lambie]

everyone and anyone that is members on this site, please reply to this post if you want/think you will attend the middle day of the 3 at signuk. it gives me a reference for something i have planned for some time now. but will have to get ontop of it in the next week or two. 😀

hope to meet you all… 😉

[Jill Marie Welsh]

The middle day is the best for me Rob.
If I leave Pittsburgh on the 8th, I’ll arrive in Glasgow on the 9th, and have a few hours to regroup before flying in for a quick visit on the 10th.
Then it’s off to get tickled in the Trossachs on the 11th!
Just look for a short chubby American woman with big eyes and too many teeth.
Love….Jill
And Shane, I’ve never buggered if that helps!
😳

[David Rowland]

aw bless…
very likely to be a wednesday for our group

[Jayne Marsh]

Wednesday for me for definite, it will be great if we can all meet up. Im the stumpy one with the glasses :lol1:

[Phill Fenton]

We haven’t decided anything yet Rob- we went two years ago and met up with a few members then. I would have liked to have gone again last year but unfortunately didn’t.

[Lorraine Clinch]

Wednesday for us……looking forward to it! 😀

[Andy Gorman]

I usually go on the Wednesday, no reason. Jill, keep us informed which day you will be there – I will be there when you are for a big squidge.

[John Simpson]

Wednesday’ s good for me, especially if we get to meet up with Jill 😀

nik

[John Simpson]

[Mike Grant]

Piggy in the middle for me too.

I havn’t been online much lately, just moved house and all the hassle that goes with it. No time to surf at the moment so I am a bit behind with the banter on here. 🙁

So a belated Happy New Year to all.

[Nancy Wannous]

I will do my best to make it this year if not defn next year.
We have expo as well here in Aus like Vision Graphix and Pac Print.
Oh ohhhhh ohhhh so many beautiful machines biggggg machines . so many stuff 2 see and 2 test.

I love it.

[David Rowland]

You and Shane could get a Taxi plane here Nancy.. if you don’t know it… the airport actually linked to the buiding we are going. however by the time you get here you would be knackered.. u possibly fall asleep in one of the isles.
happy new year Mike..good 2 see ya

[Nancy Wannous]

your funny Dave
If i ever go i would a day before cos flying long hours will make me go nuts.
not sure how many hours the flying is going to be hahahaha.

[David Rowland]

oh nancy 😉

i haven’t done the long flight.. but i know it takes forever!

[Shane Drew]

quote wannousnancy:

your funny Dave

depending your route nancy, but 20 to 24 hours by most airlines.

I’ll not be there this year, but trying to plan ’07 visit if I can, with the family hopefully….

Hi ya Mike, we’ve missed you mate..

[Nancy Wannous]

Yeah Shane,20 or maybe 24 hours that’s crazy but if it doesn’t work this year yeah 2007 why not.Can’t wait my Birthday is in May hehehe :lol1:

[Brian Hays]

You can add a few hours hanging around in the middle of the journey to that. Plus a few hours at the airports beginning & end. More like 30 hours 😮 😮 Not fun 😥

[Marcella Ross]

I’ve never been down to SignUK before, but considering heading there this year. Any day would suit me, it wouldn’t make any difference.

Hopefully I’ll manage …. I’d love to meet up with you all!

Marcella

[Peter Normington]

I have a feeling that this year at signuk, is going to be a real hoot’n’anny.

All we need to do (I think Rob is on the case) is to arrange a common staying/meeting place for the evening!

Peter

How come we didnt bump into you last year Dave?
Or was it just that you wernt an active uksb member then?

Peter

[Nancy Wannous]

30 hours :plane: (bully)

Jesus

wowww

naka

no way

WHY??? WHY ME

[John Simpson]

the secret is Nancy stop off at Malaysia for a week at the beautiful island of Lankowi.
Then when you are all relaxed & tanned you then fly the other half of the journey & make us all envious.

L J

[Nancy Wannous]

yeah right John
And how would i do that alone. i might stay there hehehe island

I got it…. I got it

Why don’t you all come to Melbourne to PacPrint and Vision Graphix haha.

see come on say it…I’m smart

This is a moment of truth and very sad as well. I’m doomed

[Peter Normington]

How about this then Nancy,
I will pop over to Oz, and acompany you back to the UK via Malaysia, Thailand, India, and Paris?

I have to explain it to lynn first but I’m sure she will ok It 😀

Peter

[Robert Lambie]

:lol1: :lol1: :lol1: :lol1: im sure lynn will understand. 😉

[Nancy Wannous]

oukey

She can come along hahaha I don’t mind.

Good one hey :lol1:

[Peter Normington]

Lynns on the phone, so I cant get a word in,
But sounds like a good idea. All we need to do is find a house/dog/mum/business sitter/minder!

All offers from uksb members considered!

Peter

[Nancy Wannous]

funny very funny
Yeah.
What did i get myself into (>) (chat.)
😳

[Peter Normington]

Dont Worry Nancy, its all in fun, I would love to visit Oz, as would Lynn.
We have never been that far around the corner, Only to Thailand and California. (Most of the places in between)

Peter

[Nancy Wannous]

its cool.
yeah Oz is good specially Sydney and Qld

[Lynn Normington]

Nancy if you want to come over you are very welcome to stay here first,
if you don’t want to come by your self Peter can come and get you (or I can), will you bring your children ?? be nice to see you

Lynn

[Nancy Wannous]

I know Lynn

You guys are the best no i will not bring my kid with me.

I think this year its gonna be hard to do that but next year for sure .

30 hours oh my god will make people think twice before they do anything.

Husband is not saying yes to me YET.

He never says yes to anything. lol
Nancy

[Shane Drew]

quote wannousnancy:

Nancy

It is what husbands do when there is a prospect of their attractive wife going halfway around the world, meeting up with total strangers in another land, and with the prospect of him being left at home with the kid(s) :lol1:

[Carrie Brown]

Yes thats a lot of hours …. we are hoping to do it next year to visit Steves best mate who moved to Perth a few months ago….. our kids will be a bit older by then to cope with it better hopefully??? But, its a long way away yet so no major plans in place …. but will be very nice for us all if we can do it??

😀

[Nancy Wannous]

Ok Shane but im a big girl.

And we only have one Kid not kidssss. its only 2 weeks or 3.

I need the space tooooo much stress lately lol

Nancy

[David Rowland]

u need some photoshop level’s Carrie… that will lift that pic up..

What’s this im reading… we are going to OZ?

Peter, I was there, but wasn’t active member so no-one would know me.
We arrive normally at 10am then leave about 2-3pm
We bring some staff normally, so they get to see products etc.

well dave i look forward too meeting you……hope youve taken your chill pill before you go….. 😉

[Jill Marie Welsh]

I checked out flights from Glasgow to Sign UK…very cheap.
Now if I only understood the British way of writing the time…
I can figger that the plane leaves around 8:30 in the morning or so,
just not sure which flight to take back the same day,
so my friend Catherine & I are not too beat to drive to Stewart’s meet.
Does this usually peter out by about 4 pm?
Love….Jill

[David Rowland]

peters never out.. he’s always online!

cheap flights jill.. they can be but you got to watch out for airport taxes.. show us jill, we will double check.. and I think we will be on British Summer time.. so we will be +1 hour i think

[Lynn Normington]

Jilly your are welcome to come to us too we are about half way

xxxx Lynn

[Phill Fenton]

Don’t forget to take into account the various time zones in the UK Jill. 😮

Scotland is 4 hours ahead of England, and you’ll need your passport and imigration certificate when you go through the customs after flying down from Scotland. This can take a while as the English customs officials are very thorough and quite sadistic when searching the Jocks that have just flown in. 😉

[Peter Normington]

Jill,
if I were you I would fly into a southern airport, luton, east midlands, or bimingham,#
Then fly or drive to scotland. and leave from glasgow.

Any probs I will drive you Birmingham-glasgow, just donate price of squirt (petrol-gas)

Peter

[Phill Fenton]

Just watch he doesn’t try and “squirt” you with anything else :yikes: :booty:

[Jill Marie Welsh]

I’m flying into Glasgow early on May 9th, I’ll be staying with my friend.
I figger we’ll fly in on the morning of the 10th and back out that evening (probably around 6pm?)
I do have my passport and all that good stuff, and even my booster shots.
I checked Lynn’s link and is Luton the airport by Sign UK?
Love…Jill

[Phill Fenton]

Birmingham International is the Airport connected directly to the NECC

[Peter Normington]

No jill Luton is not far away, but birmingham or east midlands are nearer

[Lynn Normington]

Jill booster shots???? we are all very healthy here so what shots do you need ??
