Hi Alan
So far 50 exhibitiors booked in from various clubs, plus 3 trade stands (we need more PLEASE).
Anyone looking to come and camp are advised to register sooner than later as space does become limited on the show ground.
Anyone fancy sponsoring this event please PM me as looking to raise as much money for charity as we can.
Having the launch platform reburbished so should be in good order for the weekend.
Looking forward to seeing everyone as usual.

Looks like the traders will be doing battle again to get steamboat phils £20 note from him.

I was sorry to read on Beale Park report that Graham Sheppard (Hunter Systems) was unable to attend the show because of illhealth, I hope that he is making a good recovery and that he will be able to attend the Alfold Charity Model Boat Show. Graham has attended all 16 years of the show and I and many others would miss him and Cherry if he was unable to attend the 17th year of the show. Alan

Hi Alan

Yes heard Graham had been unwell of late, and hope he is on the road to full recovery. He has been a great supporter of the show since it started and I sincerely hope he can make this years one too.

Regards

Trevor

Looking forward to seeing you there.
Traders still a bit slow on the uptake I am afraid, so far there is;
DBH Services, Barry's Model Lettering, Models By Design, Josephina Chesney Handmade Gifts & Cards and Mastman.
Obviously there will be the bring and buy tent, and the refreshment area but it would be nice to have a few more traders on board and at £30 for the weekend, it really is a good deal.
Cheers

Hunter Systems (Welcome back on the circuit Graham) and Models u Drive booked in last week. The Guides and Rangers that supply you with tea, coffee, hot dogs and burgers will be on hand to feed you all again. They are raising money on their stall at the show this year to send guides to Africa next year in a joint venture between girl guiding and the CoCo Foundation. Alan

Hi Guys,
I am feeling a wee bit better, so look out Hunter Systems stand will be at the show and me and Cherry - say no more then!!!
I feel like Lazaruth and will be at the show taking all of your money or actually Cherry will be as I have been warned by GP to take it easy or else.
Regards
Graham

Great to hear you are getting better Graham,
do as the GP says and have a speedy recovery.
See you at Haydock if you are going to that one.
