FordTractorCrazy Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 i wasnt able to arrange everything in such short notice to get there. but if i get the date for the April show, i'll be booking a weekend closeby so i can drop in.. Got to get my hands on one of those Siku Ford Spalding show tractors and what better way than to collect them in person . 2 bad my girlfriend wont let me go unless we made it a long weekend away less to spend on new models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Just a quick summary from me. It was another good show, and considering the apparent reduction in people through the door this time, I still managed to chat to several new guys on the forum and hopefully get a few new guys signed up too. Big thanks to my sister of course for doing us cakes again...and if you like she will provide some for toytrac also Many thanks to Graham for providing a fantastic building once again, I think it made the layout the best yet (pictures coming very soon) and as always recieved excellent feedback from all the kids and "some" adults! It was pleasing to hear so many go "Woahhhh" when they saw it! The raffle was popular and prizes have all now been claimed. Thanks to PDC, Jez, Barry, Steve and Dave Purdue for donating models for the layout. Was nice to see the County's working hard combined with the Deeres and a nice unimog sitting in the yard! Thanks to Mark for taking the pictures! I think he just about covered everything! I'm already looking forward to the next show where I hope to have some new FTF models on show, and of course, the layout, cakes and raffle! Ben will have a sandwich board next time to go around the stalls and sell tickets! I will finish by thanking all of you who stopped by and said hello, good to get plenty of feedback and hope it continues next time! Dad and I will be down at toytrac so hope to see more of you there! Many thanks Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
