Guess it would be a silly question to ask if you guys had fun

I know I would rather had been there than deep frying chicken

 

cool pictures

I'm sooo unhappy that DRL interrupted my stay in the UK

 

Had a great time, and a good laugh - thank you

Feet are sore, and that hot curry has had some rather expected side effects lol

Blimey, I look awful in that picture Jase lol Think I have an eye missing

 

Looks like you had a blast!!

 

Great Pic's as always Jase

A truly awesome day - lots of swords, good comapny, more swords, the corn exchange, even more swords, the worlds largest nan beard, did I mention the swords ?

 

It was such a great day I enjoyed myself
Pitty we didnt have more time to veiw the Armouries more - (Another day out event like this would be good )

Very Good Pics Jace

 

Yep, it was a good day and nice to meet some more people.
Gutted I didn't manage to find that Ewan McGregor book in Borders....never mind!
Looking forward to the next meet already!

 

What a fantastic day! It was great to meet everyone again, and to see new faces Hope Martina and Yukiko come back since you were a most welcome addition to the FF-UK North family Thanks to everyone who could make it, it's days like these that make you know Fan Force is working, and it's worthwhile all that you have to go through to make it work. Glad to be part of this unique and fantastic family.

Friendship. Fun. Fandom ... The three F's of Fan Force.

But to Tethys. I hope things are ok, I'll chat to you in a day or so.
