can we enter the group build entry into a Gaydon competition as well or will we be penalised by the forum judge  :grin:  :grin:
Not sure whether this is a "forum joke" or a serious question...... but there is NO category for "group build" so not possible to enter it. Sorry.
If we put the suggestion out to the other clubs, maybe a "group build" category could be included next year....
OOOOPS  :embarrassed: :embarrassed: :embarrassed: :embarrassed:
Somehow I thought it was different people doing different bits to one model.
Oh well: In that case, any of the "group build" models CAN be entered at Gaydon. :thumbsupup:

If anyone is thinking of takingh a caravan to Gaydon there is a good site nesrby called Harbury Fields, it is a licensed site and part of the Caravan Club, non members welcome.
Just as a warning tho, someone has hacked into their web site and my virus checker blocked it.
If you need any more info. just ask. Have used it regularly and is a good site.
I have already booked :grin:

I prefer rolling out of the caravan on site and walking the short distance to the venue. I have everything in the van that I need including a well stocked beer fridge (usually).

Stop doing commissions and then you will have some instead of giving them up

congrats on the new job Keith  :thumbsupup: what are you doing ???
the bad news is we are fully booked and all the paper work and money sent off to Ash. last year was a pain for Andrew and this year due to us (the mods) trying to alter things was no better.
how many models are thinking of bringing ? i am sure (if your not bothered) we could split your builds between various tables either that or apply for your own table ???

Hi Steve no problem I was only going to bring 1 or 2 maybe a truck with low loader loaded with a London bus and a Fire Engine which I just messed the paint on, So tomorrow it's stripping time, My new job will be a shock to the system I am going to be a bench hand joiner after 30 years of being self employed although I haven't worked much the last year or 2, The body feels like a 55 year old Scania  "Knackered"
