The model of Olympic on page 2 looks excellent. I assume that's some of the research material next to it.

you can never have enough clamps.. I must have missed my numbers at the time ..

Ref - the raffle.
I know that the sellers of the raffle tickets were noting who bought them but surly for the benefit of those who did not hear the announcements it should be easy to publish a list of winning numbers on this site.

Stavros · « **Reply #133 on:** March 08, 2013, 10:08:25 pm »

Well If I had some raffle ticketts and wanted to know if I had won or not then I would simply contact the organisers and NOT expect the results of a raffle to be published on a forum.
I would look on the organisers website ....if they had one as well.

It really was a great Saturday when I was there. The sun was very welcoming after such a dull & miserable week. I would have liked to stay for the full evening but I had 6 trains to catch - yes really - to get home. I only got the last train from Birmingham by the skin of my teeth. The evening hospitality was fantastic & the cafeteria so warm.
I know how much work is involved in organising anything like this and to such a high standard. There really were so many lovely models. I kept thinking that I must have seen them all & then finding another room! The sailing/ towing action made the show so much more interesting than a purely static show.

Great format, lovely models & a really nice setting. Congratulations & thank you.

PS I do hope that made some money for all the effort and that the museum didn't keep it all.

Mike or Steve should have posted some Video clips from the Saturday (day time) sailing by now,

I would post some myself but don't know how to, thanks to all for a great weekend, p.s don't forget the badge Mike.

Can i say that the Bring and Buy had over 50 boats for sale with at least 2/3 rds of them being sold, with boats from £5.00 to £800. Probably the biggest amount of models to date, so all in all the whole show was very spectacular. Can't wait for next year!

Had a chat at the lifeboat stand and discovered a thing or two ...

One thing we debated was the orange light on a Tamar. We decided that it was to show the boat was taking on water, but we couldn't decide if it was a flashing or steady orange. I asked a couple of lifeboat chaps on here but neither knew for sure. Anyway it turns out that it is called the bilge warning light and it is a flashing orange light. The light will operate even if the boat is moored and unmanned. So if you are building a model you can easily activate that light for real ... but only at your own risk please
