SPN Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Diecast Heaven are going to host another model show in September. It will be held at the [url=http://www.carlton.ie/kinsale.html]Carlton Hotel in Kinsale Co. Cork. The hall in this hotel is twice the size of the one in Bunclody, so we want lots more people displaying. The date hasn't been set, but the second two weekends are out for me is now set for September 2nd. Who might be interested in travelling and/or displaying? Brits welcome! (Only 20km from Cork Airport, and the Mrs will love the hotel!) Leo is negotiating a discounted rate for anyone wishing to stay over, but the rooms will need to be booked PDQ once the date has been set. So nashmach, over to you. which weekend won't suit you at all? :'( :'( :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's another ?20 you owe me FNHIR!

FNHIR Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 All these bets are double or quits though aren't they? You should have held it this week and somehow tied it in with Kinsale Arts Week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNHIR Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Oh and as well, the 2nd probably wouldn't be the best date - Cork will be in the All-Ireland hurling Final that day so I'll be in Croker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's another €20 you owe me FNHIR! (Of course Nashmach could always fill the back of the Hiace with Strawberries and make it a business trip! :D :D ) Don't tempt me SPN but I think they will be slightly out of season Can't be the last 2 weekends either as it will be Ploughing match time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liebherr Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Well Guys Leo here from Diecastheaven, Well i am thinking strong about the 2nd of September if it is going to clash with the All Irelands i am thinking should i move it back a week to the 26th August your feedback is vital to allow me arrange the Hotel and book rooms in time so please tell me what you think Regards Leo once agreed i will revert back with what we have planned and what we will be looking for just as a sample we will look at running Best Diorama and best Custom model Etc, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liebherr Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Well that is what i was thinking but i need to pick a date so i think it will be the 26th August then just have to take the chance it is works it works if not i will sit in a corner rocking back and forth a crying ha ha! well, i will see how the hotel is fixed for that date then Regards Leo PS what do you think of the Competion ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 For the competition how about: Best Diorama (both for construction and farming) Maybe in the farming have best tractor conversion and best implement conversion I suppose the number of categories will depend on the sponsorship available for prizes PS when is the Waterford one on - as I HOPE to get to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To become a member, [url=http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=521]send Leo a PM and he'll give you the details (that goes for you too FNHIR - Hanna hasn't received your email) There will also be three 1:32 competitions: - Best scratch built or modified tractor - Best scratch built or modified implement - Best diorama. First, second and third prizes in each category. There will also be competitions for those 'orrible little 1:50th things, but we won't lower the tone of FTF by discussing those! Tables still available for those who want to display their collections - [url=http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=521]send Leo a PM if you want to know more.
