I would have enjoyed that, but probably not as much as slumming around Greece

I should be OK for the Pride thing, will your exhibition still be on then?

 

[Bobfrance]

Yeah, so long as Charles Saachi doesn't nip in and buy them all.

Have fun in Greece!

 

[Sparrow]

... yes, we all have that to worry about ...

... if one even mentions his name at Alice's college they all start to salivate ... even the really cool ones

LOL. Well he is the Simon Cowell of art after all.

Heads up!

Meeting tomorrow usual time and place - Cafe Ritazza, Piccadilly Station. 10am-ish.

If you arrive later feel free to give me a ring on my mobile and I'll tell you our current location. Probably a camera shop, pub or coffee shop.

Hey gang!

Here's an update of our forthcoming events calendar.
As you can see things are looking a little quieter now we're getting to the latter end of the year. I've listed what we have so far, but I'd welcome any suggestions.
Obviously we can meet up any time - there doesn't have to be an event, but events help give a focus to the day. Anybody know of anything interesting happening? It doesn't just have to be in the North West.

A SPOT OF SHOOTING ON THURSDAY.*

Anyone fancy joining us?

[Bobfrance]

Oh dear. I've been exposed.

It's interesting to see how long this thread has been going and reminds me that I was informed by Noel (Xmas) that we first met up as a group in 2007.

I wonder if anyone has any pics from that first meet?
