    Hi everyone,

    Just thought I would let you all know how my meeting with Mike B went
    last weekend!

    I went to the NEC, which for those of you who might not know this is
    a large exhibition centre, and I mean large it took me ages to get
    from the bus stop to the hall where the memorabilia event was. This
    of course if you are a cult tv, movie fan this event was the place to
    be it was absolutely huge, it took me the two days to get round
    everything.

    I had the opportunity to talk with Mike a few times which was nice,
    in fact I bumped into him in the bar first of all, which was funny
    cos he didn't recognise me as I have changed my hair colour
    drastically!! he came over to me after that, he realised who I was!!
    He thanked me for an article I did recently which is now on his
    website!

    I had the opportunity to give him some of copies I have received from
    Bill from series 3 of Onedin, he was pleased with that, especially
    when I told him ICE & FIRE was amongst them as this was his favourite
    episode, I don't think he could believe it!! I had to sort of tell
    him quietly where they had come from!! which brings me to the next
    thing if anyone in the UK would like copies, email me privately and I
    will let you know what episodes I have. I say the UK as I have
    already sent some to Helga in Germany, so she will do any copies for
    anyone in Europe.

    I found a copy of THE WORLD OF THE ONEDIN LINE I also gave Mike a
    copy of it which he was pleased with, well he thought I wanted him to
    sign it, but I said no thought it would be nice for him to keep it,
    as he had happily signed lots of things for me, which was very
    generous of him, he truly is a nice guy, and nothing like FOGARTY,
    for a start Mike smiles alot, and he is a lovely person, and I feel
    priveleged that I have met him, I wish some of you could have been
    there to enjoy it too..

    Well I hope you all have enjoyed reading this, btw the group has been
    a bit quiet lately, where is everyone???

    All the best shipmates!

    Glad you had a good weekend there Carie, yes the NEC is a very large
    venue.
    I worked on one phase of the construction in the '70s and I have only
    ever
    been back there once for a motorshow some years ago.

    I must take the opportunity to go back and have a look around one
    week-end.
    I bet it is much bigger now!

    I am in the Isle of Man for a couple of weeks, we sailed from
    Liverpool
    yesterday on the Super Sea Cat car ferry which took just about 2 hrs
    to do
    the crossing to Douglas, somewhat quicker than it would be in Onedin
    days!

    That brought a question to mind as we left the dock right next to the
    Liver
    building, although we all know that Liverpool was the port around
    which the
    story was told, were any location scenes actually shot there?

    Pretty well everything was filmed down around the Dartmouth area but
    I just
    wondered if anyone knew of an actual Liverpool location used in the
    series?

    Bill.
