BC Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 No worries Andy but if that person does turn up I think they should get free entry as the furthest travelled spectator ;D I picked up this weeks Deeside Piper and was pleased to see they had published my article and featured a photo of one of our exhibitors lorry displays...Brian Fleming from Banchory. 156339_.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 nice work Bill, just have to see what the P and J say now Well the only poster I have put out in Deeside is in the toy shop in Ballater Andy so hopefully the Deeside Piper write up and photo will help spread the word in that area. Yes fingers crossed Joe Watson gets a photo and article in the farming section of the Press and Journal since that should cover as far as the top of Scotland and as far down as Perth and surrounding areas in the South.

BC Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Oh well Andy made the farming section of the P&J today so that should be good coverage for the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 July's Classic Tractor has just been delivered and as usual first stop for me is the model page. Nice looking article by Rory on Austin James from Leicestershire including his scratch built County 1145. Oh and then to the events page where the show gets a mention at the top of the events section. A big thanks for that Rory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianih634 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Well Brian its all been down to team work and and think we have all done as best we can to get this show on the road. We have had an excellent response from exhibitors and traders many of whom are travelling hundreds of miles to attend which is very very encouraging for a first time show. All we can do now is hope for us and the exhibitors and traders we get the spectator support and can make this an annual event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
