Apart from Phil, Dave, Alan and Martin I missed out on all others.
Was hoping to see Pugwash and many others but failed - a bit like the old eyesight I think. Dave's suggestion (aka No.6) is spot on really - if we
really do want to meet / be recognised by other forum members (of whom we have had no previous acquaintance) at any event, then perhaps a standard badge could be designed and distributed by some of the more computer literate / entrepreneur souls on the forum that we could purchase, (with recoverable costs charged of course.) I'd be happy to buy one one - not aware of too many that might want to black my eye on the car park!
Just a thought, regards, Tony.
