    I thoroughly enjoyed all the pics - kept me oohing, ahhing and giggling for a good 15 mins. I still wish I was there, but fantastic to see everyone and get a snapshot of some of the workshops. Good to see there is plenty of talent out there and skills to be learned. Thanks for sharing George.

    That looked like great fun. It's nice to see so many youngsters involved.

    Thanks for the photos George, best Moot ever IMHO, see you next year, your murikia is a cracking piece of kit. I will have to source a small one if I can, thanks for all your help and advice.
    Cheers the interceptor boy.

    No need for bigger, they open large anyway when you click on them

    Thanks so much for posting them Cap'n - I was just flicking from one to the other to try and see what Wayne did there...and wondering how far across the floor Drew flew?! Great you captured the moment!!
