Is this going to be the tenth year Anniversary of the UK Lard and Tool Fest? :ahhh :D
Did you have a meet the year this Forum started?
The earliest evidence I could find was multiple polls in 2009 -

Good question. :think: I know there was at least one before I came along, but I don't know exactly.
MTO UK meet is officially on my bucket list.
Getting to the motherland of MTO, Halifax is another.
While getting to the Motherland of Victorinox is yet another.

It would be excellent to get some members from countries outside the UK. As for me, I lost my job this week, so my participation will depend on how quick I can get myself back into reasonably gainful employment. I have a few "irons in the fire", but no definitive offers as yet. I do hope to be able to get there though, so pencil me in for a place round the fire :tu:
Sorry to hear that Al. Hopefully you'll have some good news soon. :salute:

No, but then there's a good chance that I was drunk at the time. :D
And on that note, is there anything that anyone particularly wants others to bring along? Obviously a big pile of sharp and pointy things, axes, machetes, halberds, billhooks, saws, lights, multis, gadgets, guns and burny things. Have I missed anything? ???

I don't suppose I can persuade anyone they want my Land Rover roof rack? I'd happily deliver it to the meet :rofl:
A Land Rover roof rack is like a normal roof rack just more expensive and less good.

Ummmm...what's the traffic like down there when the F1 is on at Silverstone? Any routes we should be avoiding?

I'd like to get a look at a Boker Tech Tool (Gareth?), a Sideclip and an Executive if anyone's got them.

As long as you don't try to come down the A43 I expect you'll be fine - the M1 and M40 will probably be no worse than usual (for a Friday afternoon). Take the A508/A422 to Buckingham if you're on the M1 (or maybe Milton Keynes > Aylesbury?). If you're coming down the M6 then take the A41 past Bicester - this is probably the least complicated way to the site.

Good to see you again old man!
And great to see some pics too! It's about time one of you figured out how to work a camera and the internet at the same time! :P
Seriously, I'm hoping you are all having a great time and I can't wait to see pictures from everyone and some details of what's going on!
Also, I am loving that Defender! :drool:

I had been assured by one of our new Mods that this round was un-splittable (see that muckle knot in it? Well it wasn't the only one and the wood rang like iron). At first I was inclined to agree, but with the help of that fantastic splitting maul it did finally come apart. Not easy and not entirely necessary, but it was fun. :D
