Well
All that remains is for me to wash the poppy dogs lost favourite pheasant (found by me and Al whilst we sat on the pond having an earling morning cuppa...feeling like two uncles while the young uns where still in bed)!!!
And, say a great big thanks to all who have attended here over the years, to all those who couldnt make it this time, we missed you...John, Ray, Gary, Mathew, Seamus & Matt....
Looking forward to seeing you all in another place...
Bye, Mike

Thanks for pictures 
Glad to see everyone had a good time, love the pics of the old/vintage machines as well as the v zug etc.
Love all the machines and also the pictures of Jack (vintagehoover) with the dyson and other vacuum cleaners too
Hope the move goes well and all machines arrive safe and well and get settled into their new home

Great pictures, sure looks like fun!
That move is sure an event! Did you hire a special moving company? I bet some of those people will be surprised!

Looks like you all had a great weekend - washing, vacs and food.
Didn't realize you had a V Zug - Jon will be jealous!
Good luck on the move, Mike!

Sorry....
Sorry i had to pull out Mike. Am still pretty annoyed about it, would've been great to meet you all in person and see the machines.
Looks like you all had a wicked time. Hopefully i'll be more sorted & in a position to see the machines and everyone once youre in your new place.

Looks like everyone had an awesome time!
I'm currently in the USA at the moment but living at a camp without washers and dryers so its boring handwashing all the way!! (dislike)
Its sad the old UK wash in place is going into retirement for a little while.
I am planning on spending christmas and new year in my home town of sheffield as i am missing a good old English Christmas, i was going to be cheeky and ask to come and meet everyone if possible
Good Luck With The Move

Thanks for all the great pictures. Sure is great to put faces with names! Good luck with the move.
Matthew, where abouts in the US are you? Maybe if you're close enough to one if us, we can help you get your laundry 'fix'... If you were close enough to me, I'd think about bringing the 57 Maytag wringer. Talk about camp laundry done right...

WOOOOOOOOOW!
I dont know how I missed your thread!
That is one super awesome collection! Nice thing about front loaders is you can stack em so neatly! Hard to have so many top loaders!
Beautiful!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the vacuums! WOW! That GE upright is so fantastic. Love that bag. Oh its just perfect!!!!!!!!!!
I have a GE vacuum from the 40s. Its all original. But oh it doesnt have that neat bag, or that style of wooden handle.
PIANO!
What a gorgeous piano too! Do share details please!
Oh I can go on for days!

It really is the end of an era in so many ways, but heres to the new one and hoping it will be great.

Another great weekend
And, as ever, it just flew by.
I did not take so many pics this time, but first another view of the toast to a kind and gracious host

Spa of Bob & Neil
Members will recall our mentioning the washing machine restoration spa (aka Bob & Neil's), Bob appears earlier in the thread, but the elusive Neil was snapped too, on the right hand side of the picture (Bob is partially obscured unfortunatly) - forward maestro

And its not just washers
but vacuum cleaners too. Members on Vacuumland will have already seen pics of my Morphy Richards, but here is just a quick look at what Bob and Neil did for me. I still owe them big time for the thought and care they devoted on restoring a very sad looking machine - which was not even theirs! Not only does it look good, it runs quiet and smooth as well

The last round up
It was a little sad that it would be the last wash-in at Mikes, but I know his next venue will be even better than the old one. It may not be immediatly apparant from the pics at the begninning of the thread how the washers and driers are, as far as possible, matched sets. And that is only a part of the collection
It was a shame some of the old familiar faces were not able to make it this time, so the guys had to make do with my old, and sadly far too familiar, face instead. But here's to the next time lads
Matt, if you are in the UK at the end of the year, there will be a "washer welcome" for you - most of the collectors are in the Midlands so close to Sheffield, or if you want a trip down south there are other collectors down here too, who would also be pleased to welcome you

'Al gives Jack a lesson in the art of not shrinking vest
I actually fell out of my chair laughing at that one, Mike!
Thanks so much for everything, it was a wonderful weekend, as it always is. Great appliances, great food, and most importantly, great company. Catching up with friends I've known for years, and meeting several new ones this time! And it's not the end of an era - it's the start of a new adventure, which is much more exciting!
Huge thanks from me personally to Al, too, for his hospitality, and for having taken me to and from each of our gatherings - without that, I wouldn't have been able to attend!
I didn't take many photos this time round, and my videos were of vacs - here's one from our journey up: passing one of my favourite places on Earth!

Mike (and others) - cheers for another fantastic weekend! Really enjoyed it, was great once again.
Unfortunately I was so busy I forgot to take photos myself, had a great twinny filled afternoon on Sunday with Al. I think the twinny bug has finally bitten
.
Here's to many more meet ups, I'm sure others will agree that you may be able to replace the venue but you definitely can't replace all the good fun, food and hospitality.
Take care all,
Jon
(And may I please apologise for the state of my hair in the 5th photo, I look a bit windswept it seems lol)
