Dermot I cannot remember where I got it, I was looking for flags to use in my signature line when I came across it, will keep my eye open for the Celtic version for you!:)
 
Just to say I will be arriving tomorrow (Sat) around 12ish depending on the traffic, how about meeting at Blyth Services on the A1 again and having a coffee before moving to TR.:)

How does this sound?
 
some lovely stuff in there guys, i was in there tuesday and spent way more than i needed to, but only bought one pen kit, the premium cigar kit, it looks great. Treat myself to an Air cleaning system, new chisel, and several assorted blanks, and got a lovely big piece of olive, and one of spalted beech.
see you all saturday night, 8 ish..
 
Hi guys. I'm gonna be late. I'm working at Heysham (Lancaster) and will travel across to The Angel as soon as I finish work. I have to be back at Heysham first thing Sunday too. I'm assuming that we will eat there again?

Are there any NON drinkers that can give me a lift back to the Blythe services if I can't get in at the Angel? ( I'm planning on having a few);)

PS. Anyone got a number for the Angel please?[:I]
 
Hi Guys,
I hope that I am not too late to catch you before you leave for the meeting?
I am sorry to say that I could not get anyone to swap duties with me for this weekend as I mentioned earlier.:( I will have some scores to settle over this I can tell you.[}:)][B)];)
I hope that you all have a great meeting, and I am sorry to be missing out on meeting all you new guys this year.:(
As TaffJ is also not going to make it Mark, I will have to OWE you that tripple malt for a little longer Sorry Matey.;):)

Hi Gorgeous!!!! I have a hard time remembering my name, so you will have to remind me which pictures we are supposed to remember.:D
You may see one of me HIDING ( ;)) behind a pint of the local bitter.
 
Derek sorry to hear that, see you at the next one!;)

Steve (Skiprat) I am not drinking I will give you a lift.:)

Steve (stevebuk) see you at 8pm!:D

Dawn (PRPrincess) I`ll take my camera, good job you reminded me as I`m leaving in an hour!:D
 
Thanks to everyone for such a warm welcome for a couple of newbies at Turners on Saturday. Spent a fortune as usual, but it will all go to good use no doubt!

Sorry I missed Skiprat and Stevebuk but I'm sure we'll meet in the future sometime.

All the best

Martin
 
Hi Kenny, the gathering of the clans was a great success although I missed some of the guys. For me, the highlight was seeing Ian's exquisite non pen work. Just beautiful!!!!

Mark and Colin stole the show and kept us well entertained!!!!!!
We may have to go back even if it's just to apologise to the locals:D

Thanks Mark for taking my drunken arse back to my digs. ;)
 
hi guys
many thanks to mark for organising the event and many thanks for letting this newbie share the idea's and inspiration of such a talented bunch of chaps, then of course there's colin:D
Wonderful night, pictures to follow, and hope there's more in the future.
Martin, hopefully see you at a future venture, sorry i missed you.
 
Hi Guys,
Well it was a good weekend meet and we all enjoyed ourselves. We even talked a bit about pens!!! Company, food and drink were great.
Kenny - thanks for your good wishes to the group and we all missed you but all the best in your new life down under.
Skippy - thanks for your compliments about my other work. Pitty my pens are not the same standard as yours and Marks but I'll work on that.
Colin - we are going to change your IAP name to DELBOY. I've never seen anyone wheel and deal like you do. I'll post some photos tomorrow.
Thanks everyone for making it a good weekend.
 
Dawn I never had my wide angle lens with me!;)

Thanks to all who attended the get together, I really enjoyed myself even though I had to listen to Colin snore all night.[|)]:D

It was a pleasure to meet everyone and see such beautiful pens and other things turned with perfection in mind.

Lots of great ideas passed back and forth and the weather was lovely.[8D]
 
As promised, here are some photo's taken at the UKAP meeting. Sorry about the quality but after a few glasses of red wine my hands become a bit shaky and my eye sight gets worse.[:I] Apart from that I'm in peak physical condition (for an oldie).
Those in the photo's are Ligget(Mark) - Drayman(Colin) - Stevebuk(Steve) and wife - Skiprat(Stephen) and Thepenmaker(Ron).
Work out who's who.
Ian
