Hi Peter, I can't seem to be able to find the album from this years show, do you need to be a registered user on the site to access them?

Sorry to mither , 

thanks  Stew.

Stew
They aren't in a dedicated Gaydon album, we've added them to the appropriate truck make albums (eg DAF etc). If you look at the list of albums down the left hand side there are markers showing which ones have new additions. So far Kim has added all the pictures he took on the Saturday, the Sunday ones are still to come.
PM me if you need any help.

Ah! Thank you Peter! That would explain it 😄! Going to go and have a good look now, many thanks for your help.

Thanks, Stew

Wow! Some fantastic builds there Peter, can't believe the quality of the MAN 8 legger tipper! Superb.

I'm quite surprised there hasn't been much chat about the show, I read somewhere else that there was an instance of a 'visitor' taking more than a shine to some of the models on display? Not the kind of thing you want to happen, but it seems to occur at a variety of static events I'm afraid.

Looking forward to seeing Sunday's pictures soon!

Thanks again,

Stew.

Eagle-eyed Ashley saw this guy acting suspiciously around the CTM stand. As soon as he clocked us watching him he moved off, Ash got Security to accost him and he admitted stealing some photoetch stuff.
He was escorted off the site and banned from coming back.

I've seen him around at other shows. It pays to be vigilant.

the guy was being watched by a number of us at Gaydon who had suspicions about him but could not prove anything. if i had caught him he would have been escorted off the site by a couple of ambulance men 
never mind it didn't spoil the weekend and we cannot let people like that put us off

If he was seen actually stealing, why were the police not called?

SCUMBAG,I,m with you steve, Capital Punishment,Chuck him to Wolfie,he would have devoured him

Because it's "private property", the Police won't attend unless a formal request is made.
It was a quick and easy process to "eject" the man. His photo was sent around the Gaydon staff and it will be kept on record for further events at Gaydon.

On a personal note;
THANK YOU to everyone who exhibited and also to all the folk who came to have a look around.
If you were inspired and fancy exhibiting yourself next year, then PLEASE do get in touch with me. You will be more than welcome to join us.
There is no standard at Gaydon, hence the title "Gaydon Model Truck Festival".
First and foremost its a fun weekend to show off your models and chat amongst friends. There is a great friendly atmosphere..........until 3.30pm on Sunday when I read out the competition results. It's very entertaining looking out from my vantage point, seeing many finger nails being bitten 

Thanks again folks. See you all next year !

Might be a good idea to let a chosen few trustworthy modellers know of his identity too? From what I gather one or two will recognise him anyway but another few pairs of eyes can't hurt!

i managed to get a photo of him Andy
