I went to the Kaleidoscope event in November with Del Boy and Vienna, and it was an exceptionally worthwhile day.

Anybody interested in going to this ?

[Vienna]

Windy, thanks for putting news of this forthcoming Kaleidoscope event on the forum.  I am certainly interested in going to another one; the previous event was very enjoyable and interesting. I'll have to look in my diary to check I'm OK for that particular date.

I agree with you about the last Kaleidoscope event, and the agenda for this one looks equally as good, if not better. In particular the Steptoe & Son US Pilot and the Pete & Dud special are a couple of highlights for me.

You’ll need to register for the event like last time, Vienna.

Anybody else interested ?

Windy, just purchased my ticket so all set to go. It should be a good day again.

Unfortunately I can't make the date again which is a real pity as I'd like to have attended this one. Hope you lads have a good day again.

Gene.

Cool. I have my ticket as well. 

Of course, when you say purchased, that's at zero cost as this is a free event

Thanks for the notification Windy, looks like a good day out but sadly Annie and I already have something in our calendar for that weekend won't be able to get there.

I'd be interested in a report back after the event though.

[Vienna]

Well, it looks like it's just the miller and the moggy attending this event. Tickets are still available if anyone else is interested in going.
