*** SIGN-UK *** 30 March – 1 April 2004

[Bill Dewison]

I’ve registered, and Mrs Dewi has offered to stand in at the shop, so I guess I’m going 😀

Not sure of the date I’m going, but would like to meet some of you guys there, be good 😀 (Blimey, sounds like a dating ad! Tall blonde wltm signmakers for fun, sticky vinyl and big plastic letters. Have car, will travel. 😉 😉 )

Cheers, Dewi

[fluidedge]

2 of us are going dewi, fancy a threesome?

wednesday favourite

footy training tuesday

wife at bingo thursday!

[Bill Dewison]

If I stand on the M6 with my thumb out, you going to give me a lift then? 😉

Just as a matter of interest, when they say they’re going to send me a badge, does that mean its a freebie or do I pay on the door? Apparently the parking costs around a fiver and the beer is at Southerner prices, so any monies saved on the door will be well spent 😉

Looking forward to it though 😀

Cheers, Dewi

[Robert Lambie]

me too mate. ive missed the last two years and before that i never missed one, ever!
gotta make the time this year for sure! 😉

[Steve Broughton]

I’ll be there for a couple of days, tues & weds, I’m helping Pete Millichamp and the others lads on the live demo section so Rob me ol son you better bring some beer tokens with you. 😀

[AaSk4Stickers]

Hey Rob

I know we have pics of the UKSB members on here, but spotting them at Sign UK may be a tad difficult in the press.

What about some UKSB logo stickers that we could wear with our Sign UK badge? Either you could supply or if you posted a jpg of the logo we could print off our own?

Cheers

Alan

[John Childs]

Fortunately, I will be away on holiday and will miss it.

[Bill Dewison]

Doubt I’ll need a name badge, just look for the gimp in the denim jacket mooching round the bar area… I’ll be the handsome guy sneering at him 😉

Seriously though, I think most ppls mugshots are fairly accurate (Pete/Phil, don’t say a word! 😮 ) but I guess a UKSB logo here and there wouldn’t hurt 😀

Cheers, Dewi

hhmmm i think i better get that false beard on, just incase.. 😕 😆 😉

[Steve Thurlow]

Hi Team,

I’m going to try my best 2 be there, just registered, fast – track entry sounds exciting!! does that mean there will still be a queue but we all have to ‘jog’ into the exhibition?

It would be great if we all turn up on a certain day & meet up 😆

Will Europoint have a stand? we could all go & heckle them 😆

If not we can go to the Graphtec stand & heckle Phil Kneale, he loves being heckled 😮

Later buddies,

Steve

[Paul Goodwin]

Ordered my Tickets too, not sure which day/days to go on yet

[Steve Thurlow]

Just Checked my dates, Tues or Wed OK……..

Got a gig on Thursday 😎

(not that exciting, crappy little pub in Stowmarket…..zzzzzzzzz)

[Nigel Fraser]

Hi guys,
I’ll be going too, not fussed which day. If any one else wants to meet up at my place 1st then go down in less cars they are welcome to (the NEC is only 10minutes from here) . Dewi, you only have to pay the parking £5, entry is free mate (and so it should be with parking at that price) 😉
We could get a group together and go for a beer after, in a decent pub with decent beer not the expensive NEC stuff…..just a thought ?

Nigel

[Robert Lambie]

now theres an great plan 😛 😉

if i can make a dead cert date im in 😉

im actualy hoping to be down for 2 days, ill see how things develop with work before comitting though.

[Bill Dewison]

Ah haaaaa!!!! A night of inebriation and kipping on Nigel’s floor 😉 Consensus seems Wednesday’s the day so far, so I’ll opt for that one 😀

Carpool-wise, there is 2 of us from Manchester who’ll probably travel down together on the said day, anyone else up this way who fancies hopping in the Dewi-Mobile? (Kinda like the Bat-Mobile with more windows 😉 )

Cheers, Dewi

[Nigel Fraser]

*drink* (chat.) 😎

[fluidedge]

Dewi,

If you want to go on the wednesday we’ll certainly pick you up on or near the M6.

pm me nearer the time

Chris

[magpie]

Hi guys,

I’ve sent off for my ticket, hadn’t really decided which day to go down yet.
I’m more than happy to fall in with the concensus.

Cheers Pete

[Carrie Brown]

We are hoping to go …… not sure yet though ….. our baby is due start of March (<( so it’ll depend at the time …. we are sending for tickets and just hope we can make it as we didnt get chance to go last year.

[magpie]

Dewi I’ll speak to you this weekend re the Dewi-mobile.

Anyone got Batmans vector file 😉

[fluidedge]

Just noticed that also at the NEC on 30-31 March is the PROMOTA show, all about promotional merchandise and advertising gifts. Maybe worth a look.

[Bill Dewison]

A lesson for me here, read ALL posts 😉 Thank you for the offer of the lift Chris. Its looks as if I’ll be blowing dust off the Dewi-Mobile now though as I’m transporting the Good, the Bad and the downright Ugly to Sign UK (Decide which you want to be Pete 😉 Bagsy being the downright ugly one though 😀 )

To now there are 3 hooking up in Manchester for the momentus journey to the fabled journey to Sign UK. The Dewi-Mobile has 7 seats, so there is space for 4 more. Anyone interested, PM me and I’ll see if I can drag the ole jallopy your way 😀

Working on that Batman vector file Pete. Want me to get a Robin vector file for your side? 😉 And again, thanks for the help today, very much appreciated and I couldn’t have managed without you! Thank J for me also, my little lad really enjoyed himself (now if I can just get him to quieten down a little 😉 😉 )

Cheers, Dewi

[Liam Caulfield]

Im going to turn up and impress with my lack of knowledge, seems like a great place to pick up some info. Wouldn’t mind saying hullo if you are all going to be there at the same time. I’ll keep an eye out for any arrangements you make and gatecrash. (drink1)
