[hobbybob]

OK, despite the fact i don't know if i can have the days off i just booked myself 4 nights in the ship inn! The people were so nice to me, and sleeping in the hall was ok, but since my financial situation has improved i chose to be there all 4 nights.
So will arrive thursday again and leave on monday.... really worked out fine last time.
The tuesday at work i was complete broken, but broken with a smile on my face from ear to ear ;-)

I will consult my manager and tell him about my plans tuesday, if i get an OK, i will book the Norfolk line again. Don't want to miss this, the experience was lovely last time.
Hopefully my greens are fully working then.... so i can bring 3 lazorbeamzzzzzz ;-)

Will this mean there will be no mid november/december meet ?

Kind regards,
Dimitri

Hmmm... Think I'll be there, if you'll have me?

You can blow the rest of my mind!

Got to secure a few things before definitely commiting but that ain't because I don't wanna!

Better be quick to book I suppose because the Inn sounds tempting. Can the ones who stayed there before comment on whether the village hall can be heard from there?!!!

[DMills]

Going to try and make it this time, hope there are LOTS of big chunky amps available, I can just about run on 32A of three phase but the neutral gets a bit warm (harmonic currents from crude chopper power supplies).

All three of my lasers are actually single phase machines, and I have the distro to split down from a 32/3 or 63/3.

What is the score on running total loss cooling? My vag burner can run aircooled, but the I70 (providing I get this &^%$£$%^! power supply finished) and the 909 really need either much more radiator then I have or to run total loss at a total of about 2.5 - 3 GPM.

If it all comes together the inventory from me would be 40W Q switched green (A very much outdoors sort of laser), 1.5 watt multiline mixed gas and 4W or so multiline Argon (Probably also for outdoors given the size of the hall).

If someone could check where the local hydrant is (and what coupling it uses), I can probably find a stand pipe and key, and may be able to find some ex military portable fire pumps, hose and monitor nozzles (Can you say water screen!).

Lets try and break north of 100W total laser power!

Regards, Dan.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Oh dear... Jim's gonna have a heart attack when he reads this

Never mind though, at least it will give the local police something to *really* whinge about

Jem

Way I heard it, they just wanted to play with your toys!

100W is not that big, I can do way more then that (at 10,600nm, given helium, CO2), what's the big deal?

Regards, Dan.

[smogthemog]

I think we may have power issues Dan suppling all that lot to be honest.

I ran my Lex88 for around 10hours in total at the last Surfleet bash and got commented on as to the amount of electricity we all/I consumed when I took the keys back so I think 32A+ of 3Phase draw may not go down too well

It would certainly be nice to see them there and maybe run them 'one at a time' for short periods.

[smogthemog]

I'm in and will be there for the whole 2.5 days. I can be there earlier if you need any help with setting up the hall on Friday Jim.

Carl

It's everyone's LEM Carly Boy so help is ALWAYS appreciated, put up and break down

[DMills]

I think we may have power issues Dan suppling all that lot to be honest.

God, venues are getting boring these days, I can pull 400A per phase at work and nobody raises an eyebrow (Got the water main to cool it as well, just need to find a really **serious** plasma tube).

Ok, will bring the wussy single phase set-up (Same lasers, less distro).
Will I be OK going total loss on the cooling for the gas state toys?

Regards, Dan.

@Kevski: Next time i will bring more stroopwafels (stro-p-wah-fels)
(stro as in distro, p as in p, wah like wahwah, fels like fels ;-)

@Morgan, the ship inn is excellent, good breakfast and dinner too!
Very nice people, ask for Ann Louise.....

@SMog: if you want me to build up again, i am trying to get days off, to repeat the procedure we did last Lem.... would love to help you build up and sweep the floors afterwards... as i am the Dutch National Sweeping Champion 1988 hahaha...Tomorrow gonna ask my boss for the days off...

Are you still planning on organising a LEM in Nov/Dec as well, in other words, will this be the intermediate or will this be the full version and no LEM in Nov/Dec, or do we do something special for christmas ;-) ????

[KevSki]

Ann Louise? sounds like a very nice lady

Careful.... you will be getting a full time job in Surfleet Village Hall!

LEM in NOV/DEC as well as October and ....SCOTlem in July...no way ...I'll be divorced !!!

[smogthemog]

NO - So will I Kev

The 1-2-3 Oct Bash will be the last Surfleet LEM this year with the next being in February 2011.

I will really try and make ScotLEM but can't promise at this stage. I am VERY low on Holiday entitlement at work and have still got to cater for an already booked CParcs holiday in December AND mandatory factory shut down in December

I may come for the Saturday and drive back Just after Sunday dinner.

[Lasermad]

Jim
Id love to make the Oct event ,but i cant just checked and wedding booked for the 2nd October in lanark .... but i ill do my damndest to be there in feb ....

The drive wasnt as bad as i anticipated ,without stops for the dog i reckon i could do it in 5 and half hours ..... just hate the A66 ... hear on the news another THREE people killed on it today , with another 4 people critical ...very sad ... i have always hated that road , i used to drive it as a sales rep for many years and had a few near misses , people incredibly impatient.

Have a great event , would love to see you at Scotlem providing i can pull it off , still a lot to organise ... like pick a venue from the myriad available ! LOL , hopefully that will be settled this week !
