A great set of picture's Mixxy. They capture the buzz and the atmosphere beautifully.

I had a great time looking at the vast array of superb models on display, and spent a small fortune too.

As a paying punter I would just like to add my congratulations to all involved, for another well organised and presented show  :bravo: I've helped organise and run model railway shows in the past so know only to well the hard work that goes on behind the scenes to make a great show. :dance: :clap: :dance2: :wow: Once again the standard and variety of models and scales on display was excellent, and how friendly and approachable everyone was, happy to field questions and to bashfully bask in praise at their efforts :shucks:
so all in all WELL DONE :thumbsupup:

Decaf Tea, Cider, cake, lorries, trains.... says it all really. Is this why I have a BIG Belly ?

Can I just say a big thank you to Steve for allowing me back on the forum tables again, Andrew for once again sorting out the paperwork and passes and everyone else for making the weekend as good as it was. There was some excellent models to be seen and new friends to be made, along with the usual friendly banter between members ( you know who I mean 😁). But the biggest thanks must go to Ash for once again a magnificent show. And congratulations to all the trophy winners.   Roll on next year 👍

Great to catch up with all the guys I only ever see once a year. Congrats to all the trophy takers, big thanks, not only to Ash but to his little army of helpers (Ian, Mark, Paul, Jack, Robert etc  :thumbsupup:) who put out the tables, sort the car parking, and then take all the tables down again!
I really enjoyed myself this year, shame the weather wasn't better but hey ho.

After traveling for 10 hours, I was back at home Monday night still enjoying a great weekend. Special thanks to Ashley and his team for the excellent organization of the model show and to the judges, who had the difficult task  to choose the winners out of al these beautiful models which were exhibited.

Unnecessary to say that I was very pleased with the awards and very honored (and pleasantly surprised) that the Ginaf X6 won the award for Best in show.

Thanks to everyone for this great weekend and hopefully see you all next year.

Thank you Ashley for a brilliant week end, God willing I will be back next year, well chuffed with the two awards I got for my models, I am now getting quite a collection. Glad to say that I will be putting on a different display next year , recon folks are getting fed up with seeing my Diamond T's. See you all next year, and some of you at other shows around the area.
