Last years was a very good enjoyable day. I bought so many books I'm still reading them!
Sadly I'll be in France on the 21st so I can't get there this time. Hopefully a few people will post pics / do write up.

Wrong, wrong & wrong. No where near as exotic or impractical as that I'm afraid.
Hint : I was at Ripley 2009 and I believe the only one there.

well, the snow's coming down thick and fast in Huntingdon, and my wife (works for the fire service) tells me it gets heavier the closer you get to London), so I'm pulling out. Sorry all that I'd arranged to meet.
Seem to remember a fair few didn't make it last year due to icy roads - any chance of a different month next year???
Have a good time if you make it - and drive safe
