robbo Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 A few photos from Spalding, the first few taken by me and the later ones by David the "Tractor Twitcher" although he probably won't want to put his name to them as I asked him to wander round using my cheap digi camera so the quality if not great. First up a few from 7am as everyone was setting up including a slightly bemused looking Goody who looked up just in time to see me taking the shot 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 More, again apologies for those out of focus. I know what they say about workmen and tools but the camera is almost 10 years old now 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 David then went a wanderin' as I was stuck on my stand. Apart from the quality, he really does see things that I do not, it is only when I have reviewed these this morning that I thought "I didn't even see that bit" 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Was a good show and well attended by the public. Perhaps an October event on the cards this years too. Hopefully he can build on the excellent diorama section next time too as a few local people (not collectors) I know attended with young children to look around and enjoyed seeing them. They then ended up spending a bit on Britains and Siku bits. First steps in rearing new enthusiasts and adds to the visitor numbers. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have taken a lot more photos with Mike's little camera, but as was the case throughout the whole of the day I ended up stopping for a natter with folk I hadn't seen in a long time. Truth be told there were lots of stands I should have spent a bit more time looking at, and paid more attention to, there was loads I missed, but I tended to stick to the stands featuring the custom made models I was most interested in. Overall it was a very enjoyable show, and great to see a lot more layouts and displays in attendance which were of very high quality. From a personal perspective the only thing I missed were the stands from mainland Europe that would have normally attended prior to Brexit and lock downs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Colin and his helpers deserve a round of aplause for the excellent show they put together. I would like to thank anybody who bought from Goodiestractor and look forward to seeing you all again in October. I thought the whole event was well attended and it was a pleasure to catch up with smiling friends and like minded collectors, with the same collecting Illness as the rest of us. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 I had a brilliant day out on Sunday, even if a little worse for ware after Saturday nights antics. The number of displays seemed to be well recieved by the public but chatting with various traders there was not alot of people people digging deep and spending, likely a reflection of the current economic climate. I only managed to grab photos of the displays but there was a veritable delight of items on offer from traders. Photos in the order they were taken, sorry for any wrong names! Craig Pitman who placed third I think. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stabliofarmer Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 The gigantic farm display, I've never caught the guys name but the display also visits Toytrac and Warwick Some of Reg Grays latest work, the multiple levels of the dairy farm were very effective. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
