Hi all, sorry I got the dates wrong we now have a provisional booking with the school for 29th, 30th. September 2018.  That is providing the flesh is willing etc.  I shall leave breaking the news to club members until they have got over their aches and pains so until then lets keep it our little secret.
School cost a little more than last year but OK with us.
regards Roy

Been going to this exhibition for 12 years now and it goes from strength to strength. What is the best aspect as far as im concerned is the interactivity for the kids. This year there was the flight sim, trucks, have a go boats, ride on trains, scalectrix, mini subs, build decorate and fly gliders. As well as some of the train layoits letting kids have a go at controlling the trains. This is how to get kids interested in modelling.....other shows take note. Also the low admission price was family friendly and the catering was cheap and relatively healthy......cakes not withstanding! There was even an icecream van outside doing a roaring trade.

I have to say it was yet another great Show - well done Clive, Roy, Mike and the rest of the Committee, Members and the ladies of the Society. You deserved the end result. Also the way that Tony the school caretaker looks after everyone with absolutely no sign of 'jobsworth' - makes a very pleasant change, compared to some Shows.
I have attached a few photos of the LBES stand organised by Jeff Carter [also a member of St. Albans MES] and helped by Lee Dickinson and his nephew Jacob and myself. I collected £26.60 across the two days for the RNLI and I know Jeff had a box too.
Will definitely book the dates for next year when known - I've been for some seven years now - if you come you will not be disappointed, you've seen what Roy has said was there to be seen.
Again, well done St. Albans MES!

There was a surreptitious group eating ice cream lurking around the front of the school, I expect they were stubbing out their used cones into the Headmaster's flower bed!

Thanks for all the nice comments, some of the more elderly among us have gone into a meditive state reflecting on what has past.  We look to our ex-Chairman Guy a mere 98 years old to rally us for next year.

Hi BFSMP, the launch was built by Bill Langton one of our members, he has another equally good but smaller.  The large one is 9 feet long and was built over a period of 20 years, on and off.  He did everything himself, engine, boiler, woodwork and i agree it is quite stunning.
