Thoroughly enjoyable three and a bit days
A big thanks to the organisers for the 19th year and congratulations to King Lear MBC for winning the best club stand.
Met up with the usual suspects- Steamboat Phil, Stavros, Mrs Stav, Klunk, and Chuffy to play the pranks all on Phil's expense!
Met some more Mayhemers- The Man in dazzle shirt that tried to compete with the Train Ferry paint work-or better known as Martin, Capt Povey, Victorian, Baloo, Carl (Linkspan), Ron Dean, and many more.
Had some enlightening chats with visitors about Dad's Train Ferry, admiring remarks about the WW1 fleet of battleships, cruisers and destroyers, and as Phil mentioned to me before we packed up I had a rather strange turn buying a Thames Barge hull, plans and fittings!!!!
Some magnificent models on show and some great people to talk to, and buy bits from.
And finally, Wicksteed Park MBC are chuffed to bits with getting joint third with the Life Boat Enthusiast Society in the best club stand competition
Now relaxing and enjoying a beer before unloading starts tomorrow.
