Well....what can I say ! Glorious sunshine for nearly the
entire event, with 7 ForFour's at first...shortly increasing to 8,
plus a 'guest' appearance of
cowboy !
(albeit in his van..but still good to see him n catch up after so long.)
It turned out to be a great 'gathering' for everyone, as not only
did we get to meet n greet n put names to faces that we possibly
hadn't met before, but also because we were priviledged to have
a special treat laid on for us, that was arranged courtesy of
veralum.
He was on duty in the Highways Agency Control Centre, which is
located just outside the South Mimms Services area !
We got a personal insight' as well as a 'guided tour' of their
operational headquarters, and a we were even allowed a 'hands on'
experience of using/operating some of the camera's on the motorways
around the London area, with the images either on the screens on the
desk, or projected up onto
really massive wall screens !
It was a truly great experience, for which I extend the thanks
of all those present to
veralum.
Here's a couple of pictures I took at the time on my Samsung mobey....
(sorry...none allowed inside the Agency building.)
The first '7-in-a-row' line up....
The final '8-in-a-row' line up...

The view/comment from all those present was that it was worth
coming along...and hopefully we'll manage to organise another
one....just as good....in the not too distant future.
My thanks to everyone that came along....
