UKGK - 28th SEPTEMBER 2013 - THE BLUE CAP INN, SANDIWAY

#1 Post by HugoDrax »

Oh, yes....boys and girls......the social event of our UK resin calendar is but four months away (Over 120 sleeps!!!!) and the resin fund is looking healthy.

Once again a chance to meet with the aristocracy of resin nutterage from all over the UK - and parts of Europe if one of our Spanish bretheren holds true and flies into Ringway to visit.

Even the Irish are on about invading the Cheshire countryside and reek havoc in the bar area of The Blue Cap Inn at Sandiway with screams of "More Guinness please!!". The soft spoken Welsh will be in attendance too, with more longer than long stories about something that probably started out as interesting but by the end, who cares?!

But that holds nothing to the pictish hoards coming down from the frozen north, the land of real resinheads where the strange names of , Stockton, Durham, Middlesbrough and places even further north strike sheer excitement into the heart of any UKGK-er who knows that with these talented loonies on the show, the craic and the tempo will be outstanding.

Even down in the capital herself, the Ubersturmbannfuhrer of Resin for London Fire Brigade will be polishing his barnet and getting his incredible paint-ups ready to shame the rest of us. Put that Marty Feldman away, you tw*t, it is just too good to look at again!!!

The tables are booked. The kits are being cast (some still being sculpted as well) and the intensity is growing as I put my wife back on the streets to earn some money to pay for my resin habit.

Will my first resin hero, Jonathan Dewar of Jaydee Kits be there again (such a lovely chap)? and maybe that great couple from Durham way whose first foray to a UKGK was last year? I hope they come back again and the tales from the Welsh Yoda did not scar them too much!!

The UKGK looms large.......can I wait.....?..... Can I f...!!!

Yes here it is


as Mark has said the show is happening again and this time a all new venue with two large rooms , could you please let me know who is having a table for display/sale

i will be organizing the show with Dave again and i will also be giving you your table spaces so report to me on the day we need to be setup by around 10am as last year people started to filter in whilst some tables were not ready i will do my very best to make the day run smoothly and make sure you all have a smile on your face and empty wallets

could you please leave the moaning and complaining until after the show!!! :D

cheers

Ay up ,

Dean the address is in the post title and as usual it's free to get in , as for the dealer tables there will be around 10 to 15 I think if everyone turns up.there will be some display tables aswell ,

The show exclusive releases are awesome as always and creature feature will be there displaying stunning artwork , tshirts , action figures and pre paint statues

Try and make it to this one if you can


Cheers

Judging by the stuff I've seen posted this year on here and the UKGK face book page I severely doubt it. It's all gone up several notches past me :shock: :D
