Sam Salvati Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I just received my Ironbridge Conference issue of the BABA magazine in the mail a few days ago from a most kind and generous friend from across the pond, John N(thank you!). I have to say that BABA gang looks like a GREAT rowdy fun loving bunch! What an amasing time Ironbridge looked like! I am both excited and bummed i could not have been there! If I am ever over on that side I will be surely looking you guys up! Thanks again John, any chance of getting an honorary membership;)! Seriously though, BABA seems to be a great wonderful bunch of "blokes", they put out a top notch mag too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nonjic Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Great photos in the gallery Hofi - it was a great few days. I really like the work of the french ( the 'people' reaching around a globe ) There are no photos of you singing karaoke to 200 people at the party though :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nonjic Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hofi, they wont be forgotten ! not sure Im confident enough to join you with the singing though ! (and it wouldnt be fair on the people listening with my singing voice ! Bob - 3 of the hammers were mine (the Anyangs a 15, 25 & 40kgs) , and one was a Rieuter (spelling?) that is Terry Clarkes. The 15 kg that can be seen in one of the photos is the one that I am lending to owen for his Forge In / Classes in March. - The 25 is now with Simon Lucas!
