I'll not make any deals with you, I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own....

Ok, you and Rover win. Not too exciting really, small winters project, Dave.

Just returned home from the show and a great weekend at the Model Boat convention at Haydock park.
Great venue for the show, really nice rooms and all with overhead TV screens showing model boat videos taken at various club and show events. Although this is a new venue the good friendly atmosphere has followed us to Haydock park from the Birchwood convention centre, thanks to all that dropped by for a good old natter and for everyone that showed interest in my efforts,
I even won an award.

Many thx for the convention commitee for organising the event.

We all had a " smashing time........................ more cheese gromit !."

Regards to all
Sub.

A big thank you from the members of Kirklees Model Boat club to the event organisers for finding such a great venue at short notice. I must agree with the comments from sub driver a great weekend with some 570 models on display covering all aspects of model boating with something for all to see. A great venue to meet up with old friends and make new ones. Lots of questions have been asked over the two days of the convention. I think that this new location will prove very popular with both clubs and traders and will get better every year.

Well the scots are safely accross the border, and heading to the next wedding

We as always had a great time at the convention and as said recently it is good to meet up with old friends and make some new ones.

to answer HS93 the other show had the mutual model boat club displaying, but I am not sure how many models they had.

My apologies to any club that I missed,
May I thank the organisers, clubs and trade stands that put on a great show.

Having just returned from the Boat Convention at Haydock can I say that the venue was superb, plenty of room and a feast of models, the halls being carpeted were not so hard on the feet, access to the ground floor was easy with large doors, not sure how the Clubs on the first floor faired, but there was a number of very large models on display , the organisers are to be congratulated on their choice, I believe a reasonable sized pool is in the pipeline for next year, this should allow the modellers an opportunity to sail their models. Well done. Howard Q.

Evening all, here goes, two firsts in the same weekend, my first reply on mayhem, hello everyone ! second my first time attending a model boat show on the club stand (Kirklees Model Boat Club). Throughly enjoyed myself. I have attended other shows as a visitor and have attended other race courses for model railway exhibitions and this venue out classes them by far. I think I'm hooked, cannot wait for my next show invite (if the Boss OK's it)
