Re: Maindee East for sale
I would have thought that "Passed" meant reached the reserve price. Tony. From Sotheby's glossary of auction terms: "Pass/Unsold - Terms used by the auctioneer when an item fails to reach its reserve at auction." There is also the buyer's premium on top, more than 25%! And if th...

Re: Scaleforum 2019
I may have missed this, but is it really necessary to print out the ticket for Scale4 ? I binned my printer years ago. Won't the email receipt do it ? regards Mike Hi Mike, Ticket, e-mail receipt, QR code, phone or failing that I will have something very old fashioned called a list, besides which, ...

Re: Scaleforum 2019
I see it's now re-opened as the Polka Hop. As this is a species of morris dance I fear it may not have regained its former ambience. The Pennsylvania Polka features quite prominently in the film Groundhog Day, perhaps every day is the same in Wakefield :lol: certainly Scalefour North always seems t...

Re: Scaleforum 2019
There was a campaign (by Danny I think it was - pre forum) to publish pictures of members of the society so we would recognise other members. Some people took advantage of this. I've just checked my back-up hard-drive and I still have them. They were of members of Bill Bedford's e-list, not specifi...

Re: Scaleforum 2019
It strikes me that a badge is a rather passive tool in attempting to increase the social interaction that David is missing out on and certainly isn’t going to address the problem of “a lonely takeaway in your hotel room after the show.” I appreciate that some people are more reserved or shy than oth...

Re: Scaleforum 2018
I should like to say something about the social fringe. The case for this is strengthened by the arrival of a party, clearly composed of distinguished guests, escorted by a member of the Committee and later joined by others. It would have been nice for the mere mortals to be introduced to the disti...
