Timmus in the South East - June 2022

Hello good people of A2OC,

First of all, my apologies for being very silent on the forum in recent times. This is, in part, due to being neck-deep in major house renovations. I appreciate that this has resulted in many club members waiting a long time for responses to private messages. Rest assured, no message goes unanswered and I will get back to you. Thanks for your patience.

The purpose of this thread is to announce that I'll once again be based in Leighton Buzzard soon. At the beginning of the year, it was my intention to do a 'South East Residency' in the springtime, but the ongoing work on my house has delayed this into the early summer.

From Monday 6th June, I intend to base myself in Leighton Buzzard, just to the north of London. Massive thanks are owed to @Proghound for allowing me to work and live at his house. Compared to previous visits, the length of my upcoming stay in Leighton Buzzard is relatively short. Other commitments means that I can only be away from home for two weeks.
Of course, I shall do my utmost to fulfil as many requests as possible. Should the demand for my time exceed the number of booking slots, I will try to prioritise seeing as many club members as possible. As such, if your desires are likely to use more than a full day of my time, I may request that the job is either trimmed or delayed until a later opportunity.

Please be aware that there are some limitations to the range of services that I can provide when away from home. For example, some upgrades require parts that I won't have the space to transport. Some parts may be out of stock or unavailable due to Brexit or the continued impact of the pandemic. I also cannot complete all upgrades at weekends, so I'd be grateful if Saturdays and Sundays were left available to those with no alternative. The final limitation is that there's only one of me, for which some may be much relieved!

At the bottom of this message, I have tagged many club members who have made contact with me in recent months who may appreciate my greater proximity. However, this is not an exhaustive or exclusive list; my services are open to all who are able to meet me.

For those who are unfamiliar with my services, an overview can be seen here:

The provisional schedule is shown below, hopefully to be cast in stone as soon as possible. I appreciate that 'AM' and 'PM' are a little vague, but I'll arrange precise times with you all once things start falling into place.

Kind regards,

Tom

A quick note from @Proghound:

Once the bookings are finalised I will PM everyone who's coming with the location postcode, 'last 50 yards' directions and, for those of you who don't have satnavs, route suggestions from the motorways. I look forward to welcoming you all, friends old and new :)

Hi Baz,

I can only imagine that you've seen the recent photos of Iain Cowie's Colour DIS installation. Sure enough, a number of additional features have been added over the last few years. There's nothing game-changing, nothing revolutionary ...just a few extra niceties. The installation in your A2 must be one of the very first in the UK, so you'll get a few years' developments in one hit. :)

if I can have a slot anytime mid morning onwards any day
This thread is actually nearly 8 months old, and the summer 2022 trip to Leighton Buzzard has been and gone. However, assuming there is no big unforeseen issue (like another pandemic!), I'll be back in Leighton Buzzard in 2023 ...possibly more than once.
It would, of course, be great to see you. I know we have reasons to see each other beyond your desire to have your Colour DIS installation updated. Of course, if I'm passing within striking distance of your place in the meantime, I'll gladly stop.

All the best,

Tom
