Hi Bob,
Its usually a good event. There will be other traders besides Deans. There is a good sized pool for you to run your boat. On Saturday evening there is a barbecue - bring your own food.
The venue is not far from the A1, but a little tricky to find - a Satnav certainly helps, otherwise look it up on Google Maps.! There will be some local signposting when you get near.
See you there on the Saturday I hope.

Thanks Barrie & Balloo: I have since checked Deans site, and will send them an SAE as requested. The good ol' TomTom will get me there on the Sunday (I work Fridays and Saturdays). I wanted to check out a couple of their kits sometime, and this would be an ideal opportunity plus meeting other modellers with their ships.

Hi Paul
I think now it has the Honda 4 stroke engine fitted the noise level has gone well down to a purr. When you saw it at Wicky park it had that 2 stroke in it. Now it sounds OK, well anyway it dose not set the noise police here at Stevenage off into one.
I take it you will be there on Saturday? It will be good to see you there.
-
See you there tomorrow (Saturday) afternoon! :-)
-
I aim to go up there Sunday morning, weather permitting, with my Deans Skirmisher. I hope to be able to 'see inside the box' of their HMS Amazon and HMS Hannibal to asses whether my current building skills can do them justice. Hopefully Amazon should be OK, but Hannibal may have to sit on my wish list until I gain more experience. I have been out of this for forty years :D
You never know I might come back with a start of a flotilla of 1895-1906 warships {-)
-
Cheers Ron & all your Staff.
I stayed longer then i had planed and her indoors has got the hump {:-{ Ho well best get on and cook her tea. If anyone has pics of my lifeboat on the water, can you post them up here. Ta very much. :-))

... at the Deans marine open day today. From left to right, "Niobe" (1898), "Pelorus" (1897) and "Skirmisher" (1905). Sincerest thanks to Ron and company for a lovely event. Bit windy, though!

... even though it looks as calm as a mill pond in your photo of our ships ;)
Great day out. Nice company. Many beautiful models. Well worth the 4 hour round trip.
Thank you Ron for your hospitality, and for having the time to let me see 'inside the box' of models I was interested in.
Having seen the detail quality of parts in these kits, and assessed my own abilities in doing them justice, I came home with a 1906 HMS Amazon to add to the flotilla.

Hi Modellers
We are pleased everybody had a great time at our open days, we enjoyed your company and we have had many e-mails with some great compliments, especially from the visitors from overseas, very impressed with the new friends that have made and the standard of the models on show.
Like Colin never got time to get the camera out "again" but these are some that have been sent in
If the Person that purchased an Bramble kit on Sunday would like to get in touch with us it would be very much appreciated
Again thank you or attending and we look forward to seeing you again next year in the NEW shop and NEW boat centre and NEW lake (planning office permitting )
Regards
Ron Dean

These are some photos taken on the pond at Ron Dean's show. Despite the tranquil water, we were nearly blown away at times but at least it stayed dry most of the time. Commiserations to the young lad whose model was blown off his display stand. Do hope the damage is readily repairable. Lastly a big up to the chap who brought his wife there on honeymoon - now that takes nerves of steel. 8)
