jakescot Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 was still hopeful of making it down as its only 90 miles or so from me but really all depends on work, whether I get my Claas back from the workshop tomorrow or not.if not then I`ll be still feeding cattle via the 2wd 590....not so handy and certainly no as fast. Of course too , all depends on what the livestock are up to. Would probably be afternoon before and if we get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 I'm be setting off for the 250 odd mile journey within 15 minutes on a rather damp rainy morning. Wishing all travellers a safe journey and looking forward to meeting up with faces old and new ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james f Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Been in for a quick look this evening, looks like its going to be a great show. Dont forget that there is a second small layout room above the main one (there should be signs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 I arrived there at 11.15 today and didn't leave until 5pm. Saw a lot of new faces and also old ( I don't mean old looking) but faces seen before ;) Harold plans to open up to exhibitors from 7.30 am tomorrow. The Scottish contingent are all staying at Soutwaite nearer to Scotland than most of the English contingent who are mostly at Todhills close the centre ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you can make it John it was looking good yesterday and more to sellers and exhibitors to arrive today. Really nice show and a credit must go to Harold for staging this one at the centre for the forth year running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakescot Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 it`s a wonder you can`t see me grinning from where you are.............got back from lakeland model show about an hour ago...........my first ever model show and I have to say i really enjoyed it..Some fantastic displays put my previous attempts well to shame I can tell you.............Nice to put faces to a few names..........well worthy of the rush to get down there and back. Perhaps my highlight, no genuinely my highlight, was seeing Damian`s work in the flesh.. well deserved red rosette and silverware.now for those of you who havent seen it, it`s stunning.the workmanship and his obvious eye for all those little extra details, was, in my very humble opinion, worth the trip in itself. Yet another very talented forum member. Didn`t get to speak to you, you were deep in conversation when we were there however. This isn`t meant to detract from the dozen or 15 other great layouts.....everyone who takes the time and trouble to show their collections and dioramas off,all who come along to sell a wide variety of models artworks and accessories deserve praise.the long hard hours setting up and the travelling show a real dedication to our chosen hobby so a big thank you to everyone, not forgetting the organisers who too , will have a heap of work behind the scenes most of us never see. here`s hoping my next model show visit isn`t too far away.

BC Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 Yes it was a good show John. I'm currently uploading 80 photos to photobucket but I suspect it will be tomorrow now before I get them posted up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
