And the Smivslet Bouncers; they were great at keeping those huge, hairy, hard, heavy-metal fans out of our snug.

But I got in! Oh, I see.

Definitely. We need some of those working security on space stations. Or the end of my street scaring away chavs.

Sadly ( :wink: ) there are only two, and no current plans to make any more!

It was definitely an enjoyable way to spend a Saturday afternoon/evening.

It was good to meet everyone who was able to make it and also have a few Oolite based discussions.

I was quite surprised that the conversations weren't as Oolite-centric as I had expected.

This has been true of the Ediburgh meets as well...some Oolite discussion, but plenty of non-Oolite natter as well. It seems we as a group have lots of shared interests besides Oolite.

LOL

From left to right: Mrs SandJ, Shipbuilder, SandJ. Obviously when the Smivslets were dragged away they protested overly much.

Yeah, but I don't remember the two headcases on either side of me ... although the one on the left could be Griff without his hat ...
