Hello all, is anybody going to the world record attempt at Stapleford next weekend? I hope to be there Friday afternoon, look for a blue/white Portafold with matching car. Lets have a pork pie and a pint.

Talking to the organiser Nich, I've been given a large stand where all the Portafolds, Ansfolds (and apparently a Mini-Motel) are all going to be directed to pitch up, so hopefully it should be easy for us all to find each other. :wave:

We may need name badges though with our forum names on...

See you all there on Saturday afternoon chaps - hopefully in time to get my free ride on the trains... :D

Not able to bring the Citroën this time as have been having fuel & running problems - over a litre of dirty water and half a punnet of bluberries found in the petrol tank last weekend! :crazy:

Have we all made our Portafold shaped cakes or are we baking one in the vans??

Have a safe trip everyone...

Just wanted to thank everyone I met at Stapleford Miniature Railway for making me welcome. I just wish I could have camped for the weekend but as I only found out about this event at short notice and I haven't as yet got my Portafold kitted out for this. By the way, I was the tall bloke with the green Peugeot 306.

Thanks again, Tony
