Many thanks to all at the steam up who gave a warm welcome to the gang from the east. I can assure you a grand time was had by all. It was wonderful meeting up with friends again and getting to finally meet some wonderful people in person. A wonderful show, can't wait to do it again.

More pictures will be up after I sort through them all.
