...Hi Stevie...

It looks like I wont be at your show this year...

There is far too much work still to be done in our Clubhouse and our first show is only a few weeks away so I,m afraid i will be at home grafting this year...
This will be the first time in several years that I havent been there but I hope to be at some of the shows later in the year...

All The Best for this years show...

...Best Regards...Norry...

Steve ,the large model of titanic ,,,all12 foot is not available now ,it is being made ready for the show at the Liner hotel ,have just had a phone call ,shame ,its a beaut of a model ,sorry .

malcolmfrary · « **Reply #68 on:** March 03, 2012, 04:57:32 pm »

Just got back from the show. Lots of great models, good outdoor sailing demos (between the weather). Could use more traders, what was there was good, but more is better.
The organizers deserve a AA+ for the car parking, when I got there it was crowded and there was a good collection of people directing newcomers to spaces. Most welcome.

Dave

Missed you at the show - I got there late, missed the upstairs first time round, then your lads said you had just left.

Yes not too many traders, also while I was thinking about buying an old Polar Star it went south - I must learn to part with
cash a bit quicker

. Scale Hobbies from Skem were there, they took some of my money but threw in a nice long chat as always

Mountfleet's Boston Typhoon is calling me ............... Not cheap but I'm very tempted and what a nice trader too.

The toilets were a great success - never seen a gents so popular - now I wonder why that is

Had a good day at the show today.
Thank you to everyone at the show for making us so welcome.
We will be coming back next year.
We are back in the morning so see you there.

Kind regards
Alan and Phil

Also just arrived home, Great day despite a bit of Drizzle, made up by the wartmth of the sun when it did make an appearenece, As always a great turnout by the clubs and the traders that were there were of a high standard, and I could get everything I needed . "Thanks Steve from Model boat bits fow quickly letting me borrow a battery (whicjh I later purchased) when mine failed on my stram boat as I was firing up the boiler, only having to be rescued by a tugboat when the meths ran out quicker than it should..

Shame I could not stop for the Night sailing but hope they had a good time..

A few pictures, mainly today of the T45, only running on 1 prop but what a speed..(will also post a little Vid..)

The long Build · « **Reply #73 on:** March 03, 2012, 07:27:36 pm »

Wishing them all the best for the Record attempt in July..
