Hi, just a quick update from me,

I have been on holiday this week and amongst other things I have managed to deliver a couple of donations to local charities from proceeds raised at the show.

They are

Brain Injury Grampian Group

Friends of Anchor Unit based at A.R.I.

Thanks again to everyone who managed to support this new show, it made it all worthwhile for us who organised it.

Brian, Andy and Bill

Just taken mine out of their boxes tonight, fitted onto a Ros NH  T7070 at the moment using the NH front A-frame for the front one and the supplied adaptor for the rear one.

Great pictures Brian 

I had a great day yesterday, (legs are a bit tired today tho!!).

Pity I didn't get much time to speak with you Brian, but you were a bit busy serving ice cream at the time. I have to say what nice ice cream it was to, thoroughly enjoyed by Stevie and I  :) .

I did wonder if you were there or not Joe  \ .

Looks a nice tidy combine John, apart from the lodgers causing some wiring issues  :'(

That will definately not fit on your Stewart lowloader Joe  ;D

Transport speed may be an issue to 

Last lot of pictures that I have, was a bit of a rush round to get these before people started packing up  . There were quite a few more tables, mainly traders, but I did not get pictures of them. Enjoy

Thanks for looking.

A phone call from a close friend to tell me his father passed away today after a lengthy struggle to try and get back to health after being attacked by some mindless thugs  :( :(

Will post up some more tonight

I'm currently trying to upload photos to photobucket  : , not happening nearly as fast as I would like  .

I will get pictures up this week  :P

Thanks guys for all your kind words.

The show was a resounding success all round for us, so much so that we will be able to make a considerable size donation, which will be split two ways, to two charities. We will post up the two charities once we have chosen which ones,(we never expected to raise enough money to be able to do so, therefore had not thought about which ones up until now).

The show team - Andy, Bill, Laurie and myself would also like to thank all the people who helped us out to make the day run smoothly.

Now,  lets get started on the plans for next years show :)

We are all thrilled to bits by the turn out, which greatly exceeded our expectations  :)

The hall was genuinely packed for pretty much the whole day, only dwindling down slightly in the last hour.

Thanks to everyone for turning up and making the day a huge sucess. I have some pictures, but will put them up during the week. Currently sitting at airport waiting for the wife returning from a wedding at london. Roll on next year.

Not that I'm aware of Gregor, but you never know what some people might have for sale  ;)

still not packed or organised, been making sandwich boards for posters outside the hotel and a wooden table top for my table which i have adapted a little to squeeze on a few more models, just have to hope Andy, Brian and Bill don't object ;D  all will be revealed tomorrow lads!!!!! good luck to the show organisers and exhibitors, hope its the first of many!!!!

As long as it fits into the allocated space Dode, everything will be good . More models the better  . Just hope I can get enough time to come round all the tables to see everyones displays :blank: .

Looking forward to seeing you all there on Sunday  :)

Thats me got all the models I'm taking all packed up, just need the delivery of my dad's van tomorrow  . The amount of models coming to the show with me outgrew the car storage space a couple of weeks ago  :P .

I really like that, well done  :)

Too much on the wheels for me, (but I do tend to like factory fresh  ).

Scuff marks on bonnet etc, excellent, can picture it on a few farms round our way 

Great article Andy,

Just aswell I'm not in the picture to,    one going bald and another going grey ;) :laugh: :laugh:

Nice John deere by the way

All credit to Andy for the idea and ambition to go for it, Bill for all the amount of advertising and not to forget Laurie, whom has done a lot of work behind the scenes, not least finding the venue for us. Me..... well I'm pretty much the silent partner  :) .

I hope to see lots of you there next week.

I hope we will be having a few drinks either way ;)

Brian

I think we are about as ready as we can be  :)

Roll on the 29th
