[HUNTER]

Hi All,
I am sitting here after a long weekend, in my caravan on the campsite at Beale with a large cocoa in hand - honest. I am very tired after batting around this weekend like a blue 'bottom' fly.
But all I can think of is how well you guys are at coming to the rescue of a failing show. I asked and you all came forward and put your best foot forward. I stood on the lake side at Beale, the rain was coming down and it was cold but looking over to the Exhibitors all out there with their boats on display and hopefully enjoying them selves all I can say is thank you - thank you and well down - you all deserve a pat on the back. The smiles while waiting to get through Border Control at THE GATE was special to all of us organ grinder monkeys.
Again, well done to you all,javascript:void(0);
Regards
Graham (The Old Fart)

Thanks again to Hunters for getting this show back to life.
I helped Phil spend many £20s (Loads)
I am sure he will reveal all....
Bit Damp this morning and a bit cold But I counted 13 clubs today.

I attended yesterday and thought the show was excellent. A goodly range of models to admire (some to drool over!) and the lake was busy all the time I was there. Sadly, I forgot to take a camera. The weather forecast probably put a number of potential visitors off but hopefully the traders did reasonably well. Congratulations to Graham and everyone else involved, many thanks for all your hard work.

I'm delighted that the show is a success this year.  I would have been there had my partner's daughter not decided to get married yesterday in Leeds.   i don't think I, never mind my relationship, would have survived if I'd suggested that I'd rush back to go to BP.    There's always next year!

Well done Graham.

cheers

My wife and I really enjoyed the Beale Park show this year. It is a wonderful place for an event with lots to keep everyone happy. The collection of model boats on display were terrific and the Beale Park collection was HUGE! Met some people from a model club in North London were I have been invited to go and sail which was great and the amount of trade stuff on sale was wonderful.

I would like to say a special thanks to the team at Deans Marine. Thank you for answering all my questions about your HMS Tanatside kit and letting me poke around in one of your kits to See what was included. My wife and I really enjoyed meeting you all and chatting about boats and the like. It was a massive help.
