Hopefully there could be quite a few Scottish forum members attending since Perth is a really good central location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's usually a good atmosphere there too eh.....When I was restoring my Fergie I used to split my money between G&M and Old20..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 Thanks for the heads up, Bill. I hope to make it along. Perth is a really good central Scottish location so I would expect a good turnout certainly there was when I was down when they held this at the back end of the year in 2004 and 2005.

BC Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 I'm planning be at Perth for most of the day on the Saturday. Going down and staying at Kinross and then heading to the Border Fine Art event at the Posthorn Castle Douglas on the Sunday. Oh and on holiday the following week so looking forward to that too. I was wondering if any other FTF members were thinking of attending the event at Perth on the Saturday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll maybe manage to nip away from work for an hour or two depending on what's going on........Will see what models will be out for that time and see how things go........

jakescot Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I won`t be there as it`s the middle of lambing time for me.last thing on my mind then is model shows ! .Posthorn on the sunday? not far from me there. I can also agree as to the quality of the Isle of Skye carvery! Was at a bull sale one year and that`s where we went for our tea..........Excellent.The chef thought he`d be smart after I`d loaded my plate up and went back for more, he thought he`d fill my plate again and I`d not be able to eat it., I saw the look on his face , he was wrong .........the fool!!!!!!! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never been down to the Posthorn shop at Castle Douglas. I started dealing with them for Border Fine Arts when a local shop Bakers in Aberdeen could not guarentee me a model one year. I turned to the Posthorn and now deal with them exclusively for my models. It is now owned by Ian Sinclair from Inverurie Aberdeenshire so they normally deliver my models to the Inverurie shop. This years one though is the Leyland and I'm getting the wheels painted at the event in the correct colour of silver instead of cream. Nice that Perth and Castle Douglas works in on the same weekend to save on travel !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 Its a long time since I have been down in the Dumfries and Galloway area. I been to the vintage show at Dumfries twice. Once when it was hosting the champion of champions and I came home with the tractor cup for my 1941 International Farmall A. The next time I was down was probably in 1999 again to the show but this time buying tyres for a tractor from David Johnston from Annan.

James T Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 OK guys, who's going? I'm planning to go there for the start on Saturday. I'm assuiming that there'll be adequate parking at the venue. Is there an admission charge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there an admission charge? I'll be coming down as early as I can on the Saturday.I got a flyer from the Old 20 parts company and I'm sure it said from 9.30 am until 5.30 am. There is a car park at the back but the spaces are so tight you almost need a shoe horn to get out and in between the cars. Being a little worried for my car the last time I was down I parked in the public car park opposite. It was so so cheap something like 20p for 4 hours. When they held the event here some years ago there was no admission charge. Looking forward to seeing you again James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James T Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 That's great Bill - could you confirm the start time at some point this week, although 9.30 - 10.00 would be the time I would be heading up for. I'll give you a call when I get there (presuming your number is the same as it was at Lanark!)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give you a call when I get there (presuming your number is the same as it was at Lanark!)? I will give Nick at old 20 parts a call this week to confirm start times. Yes my mobile number is still the same. It not a big hall so people should be easy to find ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 James, I called and spoke to Nick's son. They will be staying at the hotel so will be open 9am to 5pm approximately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
