Which part you going to?? Have a good hol
-
Lynn have a great time! ๐ Really wish I been able to go ๐
Safe journey, take care! ๐

I drive through on a regular basis as I have a place just outside Pwllheli on the peninsula. Even though "just driving through" its a very nice place.
-
Have fun, Lynn.
From what I hear there are already quite a few people there.
Sounds like it’s going to be a blast!
I’m envious.
Again, I urge anyone who has the spare time and $$ to attend.
It’s well worth it.
And just think you’ll get to spend time with Lynn and Peter!
Love…..Jill -
Have a great time Lynn & Peter
It sounds like a great event.
Be safe ………………………………………………. (driving there ……..you crazy kids ๐ )
cheers

Well seeing as your asking I’ve got a bit of a sore knee just now – but apart from that I’m fine.
How’s Peter – did his snoring wake up the campsite :lol1:
-
Phil . Ive never heard me snore yet!
Anyway as Lynn says it was BRILLIANT,
I didnt take loads of photos, but here are few to be going on with.David and Tina are a lovely couple, and their family are wonderful.
Our thanks to them for making the meet an experience of a lifetime.Marcus and Manfred did brill with their carved sign (hdf) and gold leaf.
The pinstripers speedway event was hilarious, and the track, painted by David, was a work of Art!

I see a few familiar faces….
At first I thought Damian must have been mud wrestling but close-up I see it’s just paint.
I am soooo bummed that I had to stay home.
Plus I was sick all weekend.
Love……Jill -
damn, wish i had made it on saturday… bummer. ๐
great pictures… welcome back peter and lynn… ๐
i see a few faces too… Damian’s wearing his sunday best i see :lol1:
i think thats wayne osborne over on the right with white letterheads t-shirt?
and i think thats Henry Barker with his back to us with the pony tail?
i think i recognise the guy in striped top, but more so guy in pink hooder and flat cap from stewart mclarens meet?
too dark to see the rest… :lol1:nothing better than sitting round a big fire outside with a few beers! ๐
-
I wanted to go down but just didn’t have the time due to being here on my own with the kids ๐
-
Welcome back Lynn and Peter, looks like it was a great weekend! ๐
Any talk of when the next meet will be and where? -
messed with this
Damian’s wearing his sunday best i see no that was all week

next meet in uk?
I heard that BJ Curtis had some plans,
but apart from that, no-one else has put their hands up.It takes a lot of effort, and commitment to host a meet, and the cost is not always met by the entrance charge, so its not a thing for the faint hearted to host. I hope someone picks up the Baton for next year, and if they do, they have my full support, and hope a few more from uksg will attend, trust me, its well worth it…
Peter
PS
Harry, why do a lot of sign writers have MASSIVE hands?
-
well peter speaking from personal experience….to hold one tin of "one shot "..maul stick ….pure sable writer ……oh and a cup of coffee on a cold winters day ๐ ๐
-
๐ ๐ funny you mention that Peter, I have noticed it too. I think Brian might have something there ๐ ๐ you forgot the rag and the white spirits Brian. ๐ ๐
Did you have a go at writing Peter?
-
quote Harry Cleary:๐ ๐ funny you mention that Peter, I have noticed it too. I think Brian might have something there ๐ ๐ you forgot the rag and the white spirits Brian. ๐ ๐
Did you have a go at writing Peter?
I tried a bit of striping, and did a sans serif alphabet in Waynes beginers class, lynn had a go at Gold leaf on glass,
but we both must try harder!
Peter
-
Good for you two!
Love…JillPS I also have very big hands….for a girl.
-
Ah….Now I understand it all………….
God didn’t give me the talent to become a traditional signwriter because he gave me small hands :lol1:
I have small hands and feet, I have often wished I had bigger feet, now I wish I had bigger hands as well :lol1:
-

It would improve your swimming as well. ๐

I have really long hands ๐ณ perhaps I should have a go at picking up a brush then instead of tapping a keyboard and weeding. Anyone want to teach me? ๐
Peter/Lynn…….. it looks like you had a great time. I really wish I could have talked Em into going with me, I did want to go to a Letterhead meet.
I am REALLY gonna try and go to the next one, I’d love to. -
you wouldn’t regret it Marcella, well no one would such lovely people and good fun, don’t know where the next uk one is though.

John, just having two legs that worked properly would improve my swimming :lol1:
-
Those are some great pix, Henry!
Funny….Jeff Lang lives about 20 minutes away and I usually only see him at meets far from home, or photos of him at meets far from home.
And I see that I am not the only pink-haired Sign Chick!
Thanks.
Love…..Jill -

-
Brilliant sets of pictures there Henry, thanks for posting the link mate.
