Thanks to all who came and made the Exhibition such a great day. According to our Chaiman (another Dave ... Dave Hawkins) traders and exhibitors were all pleased with the day. We had very nearly 800 paying visitors, our second highest attendance. There are always things we can improve on - these will be discussed at the next Committee meeting and Club Forum.
I've added a news post to the Club Website, which includes some video and stills taken on the day ... please do pop over and have a look.

We always get lots of children, which may seem unexpected at a 'finescale' show, but with Roy Hickman getting them involved in making scenery, and Roger Sawyer getting the children to have a go at soldering, we are very mindful that railway modelling isn't just a hobby for those of us who are getting on a bit. The children were also entertained by Chris Barker and his crew on the MERG stand, and the many Club Members who were supurvising on our 'Thomas' layout.
As I mentioned in a previous post, this was the 'Year of the Knees', and now I have photograpic evidence to prove it ... half the Committee on cruches following knee operations!
