I've decided that I'll totter into town for a few hours tomorrow and do some "work", and try and catch up with a few people before next weekend. I'll report back tomorrow night.

It was pretty huge....an awful lot of people turned up, and there were a lot of cars and things to see. Certainly, the PHR transporter (and what was inside it) drew the biggest crowds..
