...Hi Guys...

I was planning a wee trip down to the event from Bonnie Scotland for the weekend but due to unforeseen circumstances I can no longer make the trip...

I hope you have plenty of fun & post lots of pictures...

I even had a  "Big Big Big"  Surprise !!! for you all, (Possibly, The Star Of The Show")

 Alas it will have to wait until another Show...

I might just have to "Let the Cat out of the Bag" at Glasgow Richmond M.B.C. Open Day on Sunday...( Look out for Pictures)...If i manage to attend...All Will Be Revealed...

I enjoyed my first ever visit to the meeting and saw some terrific models - particularly the lifeboats and Ray111's 'personal' display - I wish I could make models like that.   :-\ ;) O0

A special award was given to Phil Abbott ( SteamboatPhil ) for services to
'Mayhem at Wicksteed Weekends' way above the call of duty.... and a thoroughly nice bloke to boot!
( Speedy recovery to Mrs Steamboat too. )

Tomorrow we'll tell you about the straight running competition! 
Phil will never live it down! {-) {-) {-) {-)

After a long windy day but with lots of sunshine and bags good humour, Phil proposed a toast to all the
absent Mayhemers.  More tomorrow ZZZzzzzzz.........  :)

Glad you folk had a great day. It looks good in the pics. Hope today (Sunday) is good for you.

In the next lot of pics. any chance of putting some names to faces?
