Thw wall of Electra branded washing machines is fitted and under test, Electra is the brandname of what was our National Energy Provider, they had shops in Every town where you went to pay bills and purchase electrical goods, The big names we have here are washers made by Creda, Hoover and Philips.

Meanwhile the TOL fully integrated, " Knock Twice and it Opens" dishwasher is being put through its paces complete with interior lights, Powder is Claro from Austria we have found it to give great results along with being Eco friendly. Mikey had brought along samples for all to try out and test at home.

John was quite taken by it, caught him sneaking a quick peek now and then, its quite simple in the fascia layout for a computer controlled machine, I love the large orange detailed options selection buttons.

Oh if only time could go slower during these meet ups. The new space that Al has created is brilliant and shows the fabulous collection of machines beautifully.

Its been great to help move things into place and have time to play and fix things too.i think Al is not going to be too popular with the recycling collectors though given the a,ount of bottles we got through!

A lovely long weekend with old friends and new and looking forward to many more.

WOW....
Al, it looks fantastic what a wonderful space you have created, wall-2-wall washers.

Do you have any space left for the Twin Tub's / Singles Tub's & Spinners...?

Be great to see it in the flesh some day

Cheers

Ken and I really had a great weekend meeting all the other guys and seeing everyone working on getting the vintage laundry area together and watching all the food preparation etc that made this such a good time.
