    Heart broken...sigh.

    Well, as much as my wife and I were anticipating attending the gathering, we're going to have to back out.

    Due to a number of reasons, bills and getting the time off from work being the biggest ones, we won't be able to come out and meet everyone. I am so disappointed, but I can't afford to get ourselves in even more debt.

    I hope that those who are able to attend have a FANTASTIC time, and perhaps when the next event is held we'll be in a better position to attend. I'll be anxiously awaiting online reports and pics!

    That is a great shame, Al, since I was looking forward to meeting you after all this time. However, I understand and respect the reasons for your decision. I am sure I am not the only one who will miss you.

    As for "...the next event...": of course, it all depends where and when it takes place, but if it is next year I doubt very much that I'll be in a position to be present! Being just a poor old pensioner (!), I can stretch to trips like this only every few years. I suppose, if I stopped adding to my Kollection for several months....................... but, no! I couldn't do that!! ;)

    Thanks Hamish. I was dearly looking forward to being able to meet you as well. Perhaps in a few years my wife and I will be able to afford a trip to the UK, which is something we would love to do.

    I too will miss the opportunity to meet you, but I have hopes our paths will cross in the future.
