This is true, problem is I don't really use the Mk1 owners club forum so don't really know anyone there either.
Might spend a little time on there and see how I get on. I'm certain there are a few members on there from here 
I'm exactly the same as you... I started posting my project on there as much as I did here when I started it, nobody really even looked at it there.

There's always Guy, he's a member of both and he know's people on there too, maybe me and you should start chatting them up a a bit!.... Like I said, I still might be able to go... I'll see if I can do a full weekend if you're going.
