The Pleasure Of Meeting A Forum Member

[WillFly]

I drove up to Derbyshire today and, by prior arrangement, met up with forum member GarethS - and a great pleasure it was.

 

We chatted for an hour and compared watches - I'd brought up some RR pocket watches to show, and I was mightily impressed with a lovely Longines of Gareths.

 

Nice place - Buxton; good bloke - Gareth; great watches - both of us!

 

Must do it more often!

Excellent Will. Hopefully more of us will get a chance to do that sometime. :)

[Maurice]

I'll second that, I think we should have a forum weekend Somewhere sometime ? Thoughts on that please !

[Geo]

That's been mentioned before Maurice, but I suppose like a lot of things it wouldn't be the easiest to organise. I see I'm not the only one up early this morning! :)

[Maurice]

I did say good morning to you in another thread Geo, The dawn chorus gets me up this time of year ! Who ever said the country side was peaceful obviously lived in a town. :)  Yes I can see it would be difficult to organize but it could be done if enough people were keen!

Good Idea Maurice the problem a Geo says organising it is difficult with such a wide spread of members around this & other countries. 

[clockwatcher]

Has anyone thought about organising a 'Watch Weekend' practical seminar?

An experienced member who is prepared, for a fee, to host a small group of members who put up locally and bring one or two projects with them to present to the group and receive the benefit of assistance and advice.

Does anything like this already exist? If so, we might arrange a block booking for WRT.

Congrats Will and Gareth - you have taken forum interaction to a new level :)

 

Any thoughts on this: http://www.parliament.uk/visiting/visiting-and-tours/tours-of-parliament/bigben/

Does anyone know their MP or a Lord?

I would be interested in this but finding somewhere to have a chat & chinwag afterwards might be an issue.
