There are those I met once at the UK Stoney Stratford Mudgather, too many to list, there are three Mudcatters, one who now is only a guest, who I've met more than once: Leadfingers, Steve Benbow's Protege and King Street Smith.
I felt as though I'd met Rick Fielding though we'd only corresponded and spoken on the 'phone, there are many other 'Catters I feel I've met through our PMs etc., notably fatB*****d (we MUST link up some time, Charlie!).
