Snapper Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Sorry Mark, but Zoomer only has daughters...James in the red shirt is son of Snap - who calls himself Stryker on HMVF, although in our house he often seems to be known as Goandtidyyourbedroomit'sapigsty or yousodyou'veeatenthelastBakewelltart :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 NEXT YEAR I WANT TO DO THIS DIFFERENTLY. WE PROBABLY WON'T HAVE A CHERRY PICKER ANYWAY. I WONDER IF YOU LIKE THE IDEA OF JUST GETTING EVERYONE ON THE BANK AND DOING A BIG GROUP SNAP WITHOUT THE MVS OR BACK UP A COUPLE OF SMALL MOTORS AND THE ENIGMA MACHINE TO THE FENCE AND HAVE SOME ON THE MVS AND AROUND IT AND THE REST OF THE GANG SITTING/STANDING ON THE BANK. THIS YEAR'S PHOTO IS FINE FOR THE GENERAL ASPECT - EVEN WITH THE BACKGROUND CHERRY PICKER - BUT IT IS CRAP FOR IDENTIFYING FACES AND DID NOT TURN OUT HALF AS WELL AS I WANTED...I'M REALLY SORRY. I'M OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS ON HOW WE DO IT BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A MONOPOLY ON IDEAS. I RESPECT THE FACT THAT SOME PEOPLE DON'T LIKE BEING SNAPPED - BUT I THINK IT IS A SHAME WHEN PEOPLE GET MISSED OUT - WE COULD MAYBE EVEN DO SNAPS OF US IN SMALLER GROUPS TO POST UP EN BLOC - THESE OFTEN WORK VERY WELL - EVEN THOSE WITH PLANKGOD IN. I THINK WE SHOULD ALSO CONSIDER HAVING AN EVENING BBQ WHICH WE ALL CONTRIBUTE TO (HARDLY A FORTUNE) AND HAVE OUR OWN SHINDIG - ATTEND AT YOUR LEISURE - NO PRESSURE. THE MINI GATHERING AND LEE AND IAN'S CAMP WERE HILARIOUS FUN AND VERY RELAXING AFTER A HARD DAY WORKING (FOR ME AND HARRY). mb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyFowler Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 If someone has a flatbed trailer we could have a couple of rows like the group photos I've seen on the veteran websites ! That way none of us older g-ts will need to kneel in the front row ! :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Mark, Bit early for me on a Sunday.....I was only there because Bernard (Gritineye) came over and reminded me, had to borrow brother's jeep to get up there. We will catch up, and talk about the early days of Beltring, Southsea, etc. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photo idea's sound good, esp the smaller group ones, as per the HMVF tea drinking mini group......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightweight Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I planned to be there, but before I went up to the show (Friday 11th) there didn't appear to have been a decision regarding a meeting time. I don't think I saw any of you at the show and I didn't want to fire up the Reo at the crack of dawn on the off-chance (the neighbours weren't impressed with the warning siren that goes off while the brakes pressure up). Next year for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
