Hi John
It has been confirmed by Barrie Stevens that the Solar Challenge will again be at Alfold this year. There will be the same challenge as last year and I think a new challenge for drag boats. All should be revealed in the next edition of MMI along with the rest of the dates for the challenge.

Hi Alan ,
I attened the Alford show last year and was pleasantly suprised by what a freindly show it was and how much help I was given in setting up my boats on a spare table that was sorted out for me on the day. I also thought the comentary was great as not many shows have this now and it really adds to any event.

Keep up the good work.
Paul.

Hi ebayman
Glad you enjoyed the show last year, the commentary is done by a couple of the Southwater Dabblers members with the help of Commentary sheets we ask the exhibitors to fill in to assist us.

Hi Alan ,what are the trophies  for ?
Paul :)

Title: Re: Alfold Charity Model Boat Show May 31 - June 1
Post by: alan colson on April 24, 2008, 05:48:50 pm

Hi Paul
We have trophies for 1st; 2nd and 3rd in the following catagories, Tugs; Warships; Scale; Scale Sail; Lifeboats and Novalties. We also have 1st and 2nd in Club 500 and finally Best in Show. I always try to find a knowledgeable judge and in the previous 11 years have had 9 different judges. The judges are told that they can judge as they wish, in other words if they like models because the are clean and tidy thats fine, if they want to be rivet counters that is also fine. Having done it this way we have spread the trophies a great deal, everyone seems happy, and most of them come back again the following year to try and win if they did not or win again if they did. It really does not seem to matter as at the end of the weekend we hope that everyone has had a good time and plenty of money has been made for charity.
Alan

Hi Alan
Will it be possible to drive the car pretty close to the tables on saturday to unload
Cheers Dave

Title: Re: Alfold Charity Model Boat Show
Post by: alan colson on May 25, 2008, 03:34:51 pm

Hi Dave
Providing you are there early enough to unload and have your car parked before 10.00am you will be able to bring your car into the display area. Cars will not be allowed into the display area until after 16-30pm to load up again because of the public still walking within the display area.
Hope this is clear.
Alan

Nice of you to reply offshore1987
The tea and food was put on by a local Guide company, they make their profits, hand a chunk over to the Merchant Seamen's Charity and use the rest for camping equipment etc.

My thanks to Jules64 for the photographs and Martin for posting them.
Thanks also to Guy for remembering everybody behind the scenes, these include my wife, daughter, best friends Tim And Sylvia who have no other interest in the model boating scene but travel each year from Derby to Alfold Surrey to help, the local Guides who do the food, the Sea Cadets who man the gate and car parking, also those that turn up early on Friday morning to help set up and stay late on Sunday to clear up again.
You all make the show such a success.
Alan

Many thanks offshore1987 for posting all these wonderful photographs, as the event organiser I miss so much with all the running around trying to keep things running smoothly. Some of the models in the pictures you have just posted are new to me.
There should be about another 300 photo's being sent to Martin from John Bass who has covered the show for me for a few years now.

Great photos - amazing cross-section of boats. Amount raised for Charity - Congratulations! Must have been a little arm twisting to raise that amount?

Title: Re: Alfold Charity Model Boat Show May 31 - June 1

mike victoriabc
No arm twisting required, regular traders support O0 for which I am very greatful, great bring and buy which did have a few good things donated, so we kept 100% of the money O0 or 10% of other sales up to a maximum of £10, camping fees from exhibitors, gate money, profits from BBQ etc. 100% of money made at the show goes to charity.
I am now thinking about raising money to put on next years show, if I raise enough the show goes ahead, if I don't that's the end of the show. Simple maths.

A great show once again! Fantastic weather, fantastic environment, fantastic boats - just a fantastic weekend altogether!
Make sure you all come again next year, and bring more people! Without you guys, sitting in the control caravan would be real boring!
Congratulations to everyone for helping to raise the money and thanks to Alan for spending the time and putting in the effort to organise it again! We all really appreciate it!

I'd also like to add, Micah loved his 1st show and will be bringing his own boat to the show next year - we start them young in this family!
