Mike,

Thanks for sharing all of these wonderful photos of your visit with your Aussie bros Matty and Eliot. You really know how to photo chronicle an event! I especially appreciated how you identified everyone, its really nice to be able to put faces to the names of members that I’ve read about over the years as a member of AW.org.

You guys have a marvolous collection of vintage machines and laundry products. And I really appreciated seeing Alistair(Vacbear 58) in command of his kitchen. He’s a bread baker like me.

Hope you all had the best time ever, it sure looks like you did!

Eddie

Another emmy award worthy photo play there Mikey.

I noticed Al required 3 different mixers for all that food prep. Also noticed a box of a vintage Moulinex FP, same one I have bought new prior to 1983 and still use today

Great to see some familiar faces and some not so. Great machines, great food and great photos and videos as memory of this event.

Thanks for sharing it with us.

Amazing time

A huge huge Thankyou to all of you for welcoming us back to the UK so kindly

Eliot hadn’t met anyone of the washer crew yet and was overwhelmed by how welcoming and kind everyone was.
We had a great time and looks forward to seeing everyone soon

Huge thanks to Al for opening his home to us and providing such wonderful food!

Yes I have some bread making videos from Al that I filmed just on the edit , we tested out the latest and a few vintage Kenwood Chefs.

Hey Pete

Hope all good with you both and new doggy ?

Many Thanks actually had a bit of a mare with this lot of pics , camera playing up and of course cos I usually take the pics no one else does , editing saved the day .

Als been using the latest & a few vintage Kenwood Chefs for baking videos I have filmed , just on the edit at the mo, now hes retired he is getting the chance to use the small appliances & his culinary skills at the same time - he love "The Joy Of Baking" website for his recipies.

Always great to see old faces and we do like to encourage new people to meet up, share stories and hopefully share the hobby , were all getting that bit older than the 22 yrs ago we first met and its all got to land somewhere in the future !!

Morning Bob

Many thanks for coments, yes we do like to have a good time when we can get together and dont need much of an excuse to bring laundry, share food and have a good time with possibly a repair or 2 to keep us going just like we all did at Roberts house in 2001.

Al does like to roll out the hospitality and gives him chance to use all the mixers & ovens as well for the baking & cooking food, we deffo need the repairs for exercise after it all.

Next one is the Bank Holiday Weekend, see you then !!

PS Here is the instruction guide to the Colston Washer Dryer we fixed, useful reading !!
