Scaleforum 2022

Postby android » Mon Dec 20, 2021 1:51 pm

Ho, ho, ho! Yes, I can announce that Scaleforum 2022 will take place on Saturday and Sunday 24 & 25 September 2022. The Cressex School in High Wycombe has been booked and are keen to have us (subject to the Omega variant of course!).

Further details of layouts, demonstrations etc. will be announced in due course, but in the meantime get the dates in your diaries and let's make this the best Scaleforum ever.

Happy Christmas to one and all

We re-watched The Matrix on Saturday evening, in anticipation of the imminent release of a further instalment.

For a film that is 22+ years old - released in 1999 - and created in the embryonic era of the internet, it was remarkably prescient. My favourite line:

[From an Agent - an artificial intelligence created exterminator]

"I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area.

There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague and we are the cure."


But in the meantime, we have Scaleforum to look forward to :-)

Cheers!

Duplicate post deleted, so other than for those who were present in that reality at the same time, Jim's comment makes no sense...

Come on Tim, the last News was excellent but it's clearly taken it out of you! Omega is the last letter of the Greek alphabet......!

A quote I head on the telly recentl -

"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery"

Don't really know how this relates to the actual premise of the original post - but perhaps it does to the subsequent ones.................... :?

Good to hear something has been organised for next year. Let's hope we can all get there. Are layouts etc. organised yet or is it to early?

It is a quotation from the film, Kung Fu Panda:

Master Oogway, a turtle, says to Po, a big fat panda :
"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery; but today is a gift; that is why we call it the Present."

Happy Christmas,

There's apparently a theory in some Government circles that when we reach the Omega variant, the virus will run out of letters so it won't be able to mutate any more - end of pandemic. Well, it makes as much sense as basing the nation's business strategy on Peppa Pig :evil:

Season's greetings to one and all,
Chris

Hi all
In the present climate, I prefer "today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday - now you know why...."
But have a good Christmas anyway, may your modelling flourish in 2022, and we'll see you all non-virtually in September :D

Chris

Actually I thought next Saturday was the Present Day. :?

I prefer 'live for today' and 'tomorrow will come anyway'. :thumb

And 'Yesterday' was a pretty good song.

Knowing the person that (I think) said it on't telly I surmised it wasn't an original quote. But, quite frankly, I don't give a damn................. 8-)

Regarding this years Scaleforum, the Committee Report for the January 2022 meeting says

S4um 2022: It was confimed that Cressex School in High Wycombe had been booked for 24/5 September and that planning for the event was well in hand. However, the decision of the Stafford show organisers to opt for the same weekend had complicated matters. The S4um subgroup will be meeting shortly to consider whether to stick with the same weekend or to move it, given that a clash of dates could affect both visitor numbers and trade attendance.

Do we have a definite date for Scaleforum yet ?

Hi Mark,

I'm here working with half the Committee at the moment on our new exhibition stand. I've asked, and the deposit has been paid and the date fixed, as previously stated.

I'm sure that this will be confirmed by Andrew, as the lead organiser, and by the Committee at their March meeting.

Cheers
Paul

Hi Andrew and Paul,

At your committee meeting, please can you also discuss the reciprocal stand arrangement with DEMU Showcase? I've sent an email about this but I couldn't find a dedicated email address for Scaleforum show manager on the contact page. You can get in touch with me directly at showcase@demu.org.uk

Many thanks,

Guy

(Exhibition Manager - DEMU Showcase)
