Well, just back from a very enjoyable day out at a show that was very well organised.
Nice models, nicer people

I was very good too and somehow I resisted all the temptations of the bring and buy room.

Warspite got my vote for best of show and I'm not even a big fan of the grey boats .... but wow.
Also I liked a couple of boats by Joe Lang of the Liverpool club - a quality dredger and a Girl class tug (I have one to finish). The Liverpool club also had the best accommodation, having armchairs in which they seemed very comfortable whenever I passed by.

Kirklees and Hoylake clubs were in the running for chattiest member ... and the winner is Hoylake

but the Kirklees chap who made his own Schottles was a close second .... anyway I''ll catch him again at a Kirklees show ... nice guy.

Had a chat at the lifeboat stand and discovered a thing or two .... but mainly the chat there turned to a few traders getting bad reputations for poor customer service - or commercial suicide as I call it. To quote Mr Darcy "My good opinion once lost, is lost forever." Not many traders is my only complaint of the day really; but Scale Hobbies from Skelmersdale, and the glue guy from Runcorn Shop4glue.com were both there so I spent a few bob. Both top notch traders and ever so helpful.

All in all well worth £3

Well a great 1st day, although it looked like there would be no sailing at first with ice and weed in the basin, after the tour boat went on its first journey this was broken up and the fun commenced, roll on Sunday, shame I was not able to stay for the night sail.

Well done to all involved..
