A good day out
Posted by: hungryhalibut on 11 August 2018
Back in April a few of us visited the Naim factory in Salisbury. The visit came about following an idea last year, and took a while to set up. Naim did us proud and we all had a really enjoyable day. Others who attended may wish to add more, but for now, here is the group photo.

So far I have - Hungryhalibut, NigelB, Simon-in-Suffolk, Dave J, Northpole, Trevor W, TrickyDicky, Gazza, Don Atkinson, Richard Dane, James, Nick Lees & CDBI know one or two others, but to be PC just in case someone wants to remain anonymous, I need them to let me know.
If you're looking for a caption, surely 'House of Naim launches its Spring 2018 collection' covers it ;-)
Cheeky !
Naim Spring Antiques Fair is more like it
I'm the odd one out (with the emphasis on the odd!), near the middle.
Only one of you, not two like the others?
The photochromic glasses prevent double vision!

Just in case this becomes one of the ongoing threads, like System Pictures, Football Season etc. : I’d like to be part of the next group
Bump .................

I think the guy right at the back between Simon in Suffolk and Dave J is Ryan Latham of Naim, Richard can probably confirm.
The guy on the far left is also from Naim cannot remember his name
Yes, that’s Ryan. The two on the right are David Hendon and Al9315.
Thanks Mike for going to the trouble of putting Avatars to faces. It is inevitable on a forum we know each other by an Avatar name rather than real names.
Yes, it was a very enjoyable day and great to meet in person other forumites.
The chap to Trevor’s left is Clive B I believe.
OK I'll try a few e-mail prompts, [@mention:1566878603942595] can you help with the Naim names?
[@mention:1566878603873289], [@mention:46478588067265635], @Al9315, we know who you are but can you confirm please
Mike, the chap on the far left from Naim is Michael Wolff.
I think you've got Ryan already, and of course you have Trevor and myself.
It was a superb day. many thanks to Naim and HH and to Mike for putting all the names together. Time and space meant it wasn’t possible to meet all on the day. Sadly.
And to anyone predicting the dumbing down of Naim: the attention to detail and care that’s gone into all the new stuff beggars belief. Truly mind-boggling, and more than a little humbling.

@Mike-B I already emailed you on the day you first requested it. I have just sent again. Anyway my real name and forum name is the same and I am standing next to Richard in the back row on the right of Richard from the photographer's point of view.

OK David, unfortunately I don't seem to have received your first e-mail ..... whatever its all good now
So, who is the man of mystery second left? I’ve tidied up my emails recently so cannot find the list of attendees. I imagine Richard can fill the remaining gap by a process of elimination...

Would be good if Richard can help. The only ones still missing are 2nd left (with the EE Lightning logo shirt) & the guy looking over Trevor W's left shoulder
Beyond those employed at Naim, I won't name anyone who may not wish to be named. That wouldn't be right.
Of course not Richard. We must respect everyone's wishes. But you could email them and give them a very gentle prod? They may simply have not noticed it.

Absolutely fascinating... you know how you build a mental picture of people you talk to but never see.... well none of you look like you're supposed to !
More handsome than you imagined….?
Bit harsh!
