Adrian at Speedline has now said that the winner of the Best Lifeboat competition can choose between a 1:12 or a 1:16 model of the Shannon.
Not often that a £1000 prize is on offer :-)

On Another Note.
It has been brought to my attention that on various Forums, Facebook Pages etc. a question has been asked if the show is going ahead this year !!!, Well I can confirm that Yes it is and I have no I idea why anyone would think other wise without first possibly contacting the organisers who's details are on all the posters and posts before starting rumours..
Not long to go now.. :} :} :} :} Traders Booked and will be waiting to take your Money .. %% %% %%
Currently 16 Traders, 24 Clubs and 4 Individuals and the Life Boat enthusiasts all booked in..
See website for details..

As Larry has said the show is definitely on I don't know who started these rumours but be assured it is on as usual. See you there.

I have just checked the weather forecast for this weekend and it looks very good.
See you there.

I will be there Sunday :}

Just setting off to set the pools up and fill them. It is a lovely morning in this area.
-
I have just set up my stand at Haydock and everything is working like clockwork, many thanks to the organisors for their assistance and cooperation, all that is needed is a good turnout of visitors with a positive outlook. Howard.

I'm in Liverpool, mates!
having fun.
This morning I spotted the tug Svitzer Bidston, IMO 9286695 on the Mersey river ;D
According to AIS there are several Smit tugs here, further down the river.
The Quarrymen were great today!
Tomorrow morning I'm off to Haydock Park.

Clearly you have inside information, Liverbudgie...
I'm going for the convention despite the promise of spotting the Union Diamond.
It's another dream come true for me. In Finland, our shows don't come anywhere near the UK ones. There simply are so many more hobbyists, here.

any one know how Brian Thompson MBE talk went, he is the ex coxswain of Holyhead Lifeboat retired midnight new years day 2017 he said he was going a talk at the haydock show

Hello!
What would be the best way to get from Liverpool to Haydock and back on this Sunday, please. I'm trying to figure out the public xportation - can't afford rental car;
Lime st - St Helens train
St Helens - Haydock bus 320
???
Please advice, so I don't waste time and instead will spend it at the show.
The site was not specific enough for my case...
I know - should have thought about it more in advance.
-
I was wondering, how does one regognise a fellow-Mayhemmer?
If you wish, you can give a pat on my shoulder.
I will be the only one at the show with a rather conspicuous Tee shirt:
SUNSHOT on the front, "Have you auditioned" on the back.

I have never been to the show & I don't know Liverpool either but Traveline came up with this. Trains every 30 mins & go from there.
-
Thank you :-)
The trip went well.
And the show was fantastic!
They took my money, the traders did - so I cant't complain ok2
Good humor, knowledgeable advice
And a wonderful weather.
Most of all - the model boats were beautiful %%
So many tugs, too. Including one Neddie from Billings kit like mine.
The organisers did very well - thanks again!

i would've done but i was at his old station fundraising at Holyhead Lifeboat day Saturday etc, was invited by Brain but even he said to stay at Holyhead, so choice of going to haydock or the RNLI was only one winner
-
what was brain talk about and did it go well?

Hello. Has anyone got any photos of the Convention at Haydock to post on this site, although I was at the show it was as an individual exhibitor and was unable to have my usual wander about, it would be nice to see what was on display in other parts of the venue. Howard.
-
Hi Howard
I have 600 odd to go through but unfortunately have not been able to sort yet, but I will try to get them up ASAP, a few here and then the rest on the Conventions site.
-
Hello Longbuild.
I appreciate the large number of photographs you have of the 2017 show at Haydock, have you managed to sort any out for the Mayhem website or for the Convention site, as I mentioned I was at the show but did not get a chance for a walk round, it would be nice to see what was on display. Howard Q.
-
Hi Howard
Apologies, I had problems with the SD card the photos were on and only recently managed to get them off the corrupted card.
Here are a few randomly selected.
Will get the others on in the next day or so.
Also I believe that there will be a [font=]3 page in-depth photo report by DW in Dec MB on sale later in November.[/font]

:-)) Excellent display , only up to photo 300 as yet , I do notice some of the early shots are blurred which makes me feel better, MOST of my shots were worse than those , the auto focus had refused point blank to work all day >>:-( it's a newish camera so it's probably me . . . .

Thanks, Not sure why some are out of focus but have not checked them all, was just glad I was able to retrieve them, I thought I would put them all on , Warts an All for know and when I have time go through them properly and get rid of any Duplicates fuzzy ones.. Probably one or 2 of the ground !! :}
