He and SRS provided a round for everyone who attended the event: 'champers' all round for the centenarian!

Not sure it was champers - only had a single sip for the toast to Pentax and Mr Takahashi, and then handed it back because I don't like "fizzy" (especially white) wines He and SRS provided a round for everyone who attended the event: champers all round.
OTOH, "Cheers" to Pentax, Mr T and the SRS crew

I'd rather drink fizzy wine (which I don't especially like) than drink at a Wetherspoons.

TBH, as I said, I don't like ANY fizzy wines - but some of the craft beers at Weatherspoons are "OK" (not that I "sampled" any of those on Saturday, because I had to drive home a bit later on )!

Well I for one enjoyed the fizzy drink and a bit of the cake later, and the generous buffet was excellent too. Luckily I remained sober enough not to throw caution and my credit card to the wind back in the shop!

Morning all!
It was really great to see so many of you on Saturday!
Thank you so much for attending. Mr Takahashi was very impressed with the turnout and he really enjoyed his time with us.
I'm glad the goodie bags were popular. We sadly have no spare bags left over as anything remaining was returned to Ricoh.
Our Black Friday sale starts on Friday. I'm going to start another thread in a minute detailing prices etc and if anyone wants anything early then we will be able to sort this out. Some of the items are limited in terms of quantity available as a lot of kit was sold at the event.

BTW: Early on in the day, I had a quick word with Chris of SRS to suggest that, at brand-themed events like this where members of brand-focused on-line (and similar) groups like us Pentax User lot are likely to attend in some numbers, it would be a good idea to set aside a small "meet and greet" point where those people have a chance to meet others that they don't actually recognise but are from "their" group.
He thought that was a good idea and will consider it for future events
A great idea which I have taken on board and will certainly implement next time. Apologies for not been able to chat for long. It was quite a stressful start to the day trying to get into the club

I have to say that in these days of ever shinking Pentax retailers it's nice to see someone is still committed to the brand. Still, their loss is your gain hopefully.

Shame I could not make the event, I am glad it seems to have been a great success.

My friends in Colwyn Bay also have stayed faithful to the brand, but Ricoh really do need to get something eyecatching out sooner rather than later, just to stimulate the second hand market as well....
