Leeds was our first venture into Europe which was no mean feat given the exchange rate!  We soldiered on and decided to hold the event in the Royal Armouries, a spectacular setting and a most appropriate one for a Highlander event.  The Armouries now house the royal jewels as well as displaying anything and everything one could ever want to know about arms through the ages.  We hadn't quite figured on a blizzard - still - these things are sent to try us.  We had hoped to reunite the 4 Horsemen however Valentine was unable to attend as he was starring in his John Lennon production in Sydney.  I did a video "Hello" with him before I left Sydney and we also spoke with Val during the event.

The convention was held in the beautiful theater at the Armouries which also had a balcony where the guests could amuse themselves without interrupting proceedings. It also made for some wonderful photo opportunities. 

A particularly poignant memory for me is meeting Bill Panzer who caught a train up from London for the event.  Bill always loved meeting the fans and I will never forget the site of him walking out of the mist at the train station with his beret and scarf and flowing coat - always so dapper and so debonair. Of course, little did we know that this would be Bill's last event.

Our guest list was as follows:

CARMEL - following doesn't fit - it's HLWW8 - however, have left it here as you'll need to replace with what AP actually did do - the airport security routine. My wording wont be good enough.

As if we had not been showered with enough, we were then treated to a reunion scene between Duncan and Amanda, written especially for the convention by David Abramowitz.  The years simply fell away as we watched Adrian and Elizabeth fall right back into our beloved Duncan and Amanda - a scene that concluded with a tango!
