Melbourne Expo 2010 is, as all Aussie modellers should know by now, in about 2 weeks time over the Queens Birthday long weekend.

So.... who's going? I already know Brad's going. My wife said I may go (yes, I asked permission )

Who else?

Good to hear, gents!

I'll (hopefully) be there Saturday arvo for a shopping trip, and Sunday morning to check out the entries.

I look pretty much like the photo on my profile so if you see me come say "g'day".

Yep I'll be there.
Nothing entered this year (collective groan... have yet to enter anything in the last 5 years )
I'll be lookin for sure and have a couple of things I'd like to buy from the stalls. I'll be the one with the navy blue cap on...

@Jas: Hope to catch-up!

@Jamie: bummer mate. So close and yet... I'm giving Monday a miss, but hopefully we'll catch up another time?

@Brad: at least you're consistent Hope I can tell you apart from all the other blue cap wearing blokes there

@Brownie: Always with the excuses... last year "I had an assignment to do", this year "I'm in the UK"... sheesh, some people Actually, after Brad's gf's comments about me "still" taking photos last year, I've half a mind not to

P.S. I forgot i said i had an assignment to do last year, can't remember if i actually did or if i just didn't wanna hang out with you!

Starting to get a complex here... Andy hasn't been back since the last meet up either - well if he has he hasn't been in contact.
