I'd certainly attend if I were in the neighborhood,
although most Brooks
saddles don't work for me. I've always loved factory tours.

The only Brooks I like is the B-72 on my about-town 3

The only Brooks that I own is a B66 that I bought in
1993. The longer I
used the saddle, the less I liked it, for various
reasons. The saddle is
not weatherproof, it needs maintenance, has to be
retightened, the
screws are loosened by the vibrations and you can get
caught on the hard
edges at the back with a jacket.  So I looked for and
found a
replacement, an Italian plastic saddle, also lightly sprung,
weatherproof and much more comfortable.  I then enjoyed
using it it for
many years.

We're all different down there.
