Hey Rolf,

If Simon & the boys at Belfast put as much work into their day as the boys in Glasgow did today - then it will be a good one. Poor little Kevin & I were bombed all day - but it was really good fun & from my point of view it is nice to have so many new products to show & talk about.

We look forward to seeing you

Thanks Steve, looking forward to seeing you again and chatting to Kevin. Oh and not forgetting Simon too of course.

Just back from the Belfast A&T branch open day where we were made to feel welcome by Simon Clarke and his team.

Managed to have a chat with the very helpful and informative Kevin, a mine of information on framing machinery.

The morning was so well attended that I thought for a while that I would not get to consult the oracle himself, Steve Goodall. The crowd around Steve must have been three or four deep and I had to elbow my way to the front in order to have a word. (Sorry guys, I was in a pressing hurry!)

Congratulations A&T on such a good turnout.

John beat me to it, but then I do have a longer drive back to the shop.

A big thank you to Simon, Steve and Kevin and the rest of the staff at A&T Belfast. It was a pretty good turnout whilst I was there and as John says, Steve was a very popular attraction. Also got lots of top tips on machine maintenance from Kevin that will keep me busy later on. Well done A&T.

I just wanted to add my thanks to Simon & his team for putting on such a successful "drop in day". Kevin was the "real star" & in between my busy moments I love to listen to his words of wisdom - he really is probably the most knowledgeable guy in the industry when it comes to - "what to get" - when starting up. I have learned a lot from him in the last twenty years - he is my mentor!!!

We cannot forget the customers though - for without them Kev & I would just spend all day talking to each other

So thank you to everyone who came along!!! We never have a signing in book or an official count for these events - just a warm welcome & a coffee - but we estimate a similar result to the Edinburgh gig - around 40 companies.

Also - big thanks to Forum members who made it along (John Mc & that man form Pelican) - it is always nice to have a "gossip" off screen

I will be in touch about that machine
