BC Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I'm not good with names of the various exhibitors but there was a really good variety and everyone put on a special effort for the show. Unfortunately the appalling weather kept the numbers down but they did manage to raise £1825 which was split evenly between the two chosen charities, Clic Sergeant cancer research and the North West Air Ambulance That is an excellent amount of money raised Mike and well I had a gut feeling this show was going to be a success. Well done to all involved in helping Paul and Lynn ( ncluding Harold Powlton and Damian & Hazel Hampson and yourself and any others helping in the background) make this show a success.... I'm sure Chris would have been proud of you all..... and I hope the Aberdeen show next Sunday ( 7 sleeps away) does as well.... PS It was brilliant sunshine today in most of Aberdeen and the shire but we should maybe say our prayers tonight to get rain for Sunday the 6th of June to encourage more spectators to come to an inside show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Must say despite the weather I had an absolutely brilliant day catching up with friends old and new, and supporting the two main charities at the show. I'll post up selection of photographs i've taken in due course. However here's one particular model i'm very proud to have brought home with me and all for a great cause.....

The Tractor Twitcher Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Another tribute display this time dedicated towards the skillful conversion work carried out by keen East Yorkshire collector and "model modifier" Phil Hairsine who tragically lost his life earlier this year.

Deere-est Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Well I have to say I'm glad I caught the show for half an hour on my way back from Glasgow with Traci. I didn't buy anything but it was nice to put some money in the tin so to speak and have a look around. I really like the EMEK Volvo FH12 with 'C Whitehead' on the doors, nice touch. Also as part of the same display were Pauls logging Majors and a Land Rover full of logs. Brilliant work, Paul. Traci was fascinated by Damiens display too, the work in the making and details - especially the 'Rottie' pups, pheasant, rabbits... Wish we could have made it earlier but we left the hotel later and the weather down was atrocious. Round of applause for the organisers and all the traders/exhibitors for getting up there and doing their bit for a good cause. Nice to catch some of you as we flew round a bit quick.

The Tractor Twitcher Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 It was great to catch up with Damian and Hazel Hampson again. For the first time too I was also able to view Damian's absolutely sensational 1/32nd scale layout in the flesh. Simply breath taking!

The Tractor Twitcher Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 It was also good to catch up with Mike Arnott A.K.A "Sparrowlegs." He had a fantastic array of converted models depicting hedge and verge cutting machinery along with accompanying photographs of the real machines.
