I went to neil240z's house, it was quite an experience, a 7' (I think) screen, 2 subwoofers and a HD set-up in a bedroom that was about 11' square

Really nice guy as well......for a moderator

Re: How many AVF members have you actually met?
I've lost count but must be at least a hundred or more over the last 8 years such as the original events back in the day, Bristol is usually the best place to meet members as well as the recent TLC day and I have on occasion had some approach me at trade shows and so on. Always nice to talk with fellow members and people with the same interests. I haven't met any nutters yet, but I tend to miss out on the Golf days

Re: How many AVF members have you actually met?
Very similar list to you Steve but I could add probably about another 10 or so I've met from trades on here. I've found everyone to be friendly and interesting apart from the Manchester lot who are really strange.

I've only spoken to one on the phone but not met anyone in person. Perhaps we could organise more regional meets or something.

Good luck with that mate, if you organise something most people cry off with tinosinavitus of the wrist or something.

Re: How many AVF members have you actually met?
I've met at least 3, including a Mod.

See my trader activity from Feb/Mar this year - one forum member came to my house to pick up my M&K sub, one I met in a car park to exchange cash/M&K speakers, and one I went to his house (lives in Huddy) to pick up the DVE HD DVD.

I think there are one or two mates who've joined at my advice when they posted me an AV question and I directed them here, but they probably only stayed until that initial question was resolved.
