All going well at present, many people haven't an idea of what they will be doing still on Jubilee Sunday with families to deal with over the long weekend.

Sorry to say, that Fred Crouch is not fit enough to travel so Peter Wheat will be welcoming all from the stage.

All dealers have paid up and confirmed, we shall have a near to bursting trade hall.

See you there.

Sorry to hear about Fred. A real gentleman and always interesting to chat to and learn from his views...even if we often agreed! Especially about over feeding!

Tried to get permission to attend but the Jubilee Street party, village cricket match etc etc. ruled it out as far as the Boss was concerned. Who chose the date?

It is a shame, Fred is a very interesting character and certainly good to talk to and read. An open mind always helps in understanding his views.

You'll have to guess on the date I'm afraid.

Sorry to hear about Fred, I hope he makes a quick recovery and is back on his feet soon, the conference won't be the same without him holding court in the top coffee lounge.

Who picked the Jubilee Weekend?

Fred Bonney · #17 (**permalink**) 30-05-2012, 13:02

Won't comment on that Lee, but to be fair, we were told a month ago that the rooms have already been sold for our usual dates next year!!

New owners...fresh start alround perhaps. We shall see!

Mr Cholmondeley-Corker (PaSC) · #18 (**permalink**) 30-05-2012, 13:27

That's a politician's answer Fred

I won't answer that question, but let me tell you about something else instead

Ray Wood 1 · #19 (**permalink**) 30-05-2012, 20:35

No Trefor West stand Fred?

Kind regards
