Pentland500 Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Just home from an excellent 1st Scottish show. Great selection of traders and displays of both farming and construction models - well done to Andy , Brian and Bill and all others involved - all the hard work paid off with the turnout of buyers and spectators you received. Great to see and meet as many members from the Forum as well !! Once again - Many Thanks for an excellently organised event , one for Scotland to be proud of !

BC Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Well Graham, Jay and Gregor if I had to sum up todays show I can only saw it was overwhelming and exceeded all my expectations in terms of spectators. There were 740 adults through the doors and over 200 children over the 6 hour show. All the traders I spoke with said they had done well and all the exhibitors said they enjoyed themselves. All in all an excellent day as I'm sure Andy and Brian will vouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you enjoyed Joe and thanks for displaying on Brian's tables. In addition I have had a phone call from Harold Powlton asking about the show which was very nice. Then my pal Stuart phoned asking if I was happy with the day...silly question really ...but phoning to say he and his wife and son and even step daughter enjoyed the day since this was the first time for them exhibiting their lorries. Talking of what he wants to take next year too ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agrium Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 got home about 8pm after 3 hour drive back to the Borders. I must say, I had an awesome day, I had a stall next to Andy's, after the first glance across when the room was full at 10:30, the glances continued all afternoon , even at 4pm, like two boys who can see a girls knickers and she doesn't know... People were genuinely friendly and interested in peoples products. I need more leaflets, none left. Well done guys Sorry Bill. The Nuffield didn't get much attention today.

ronan7051 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Hey guys, What a brilliant day!! Well done to you guys, sorry I wasnt much help. I knew it would be a success. It was brilliant to meet the guys again and meet a few new ones. I picked up a few models from brianih and from Andy. Eventually had to stay away from their tables ;D. Looking forward to next years show already. Would love to have something done up for next years show work permitting. So what up next Bill?
