Im the one behind the Stevenage MBC on the left sitting down chatting to club member Jeff on the right as you look at it.
I hope the weather in OZ is better then we have been getting.

I wasnt at the show myself,and I respect you all have to have your own opinions and this is rightly so,but whatever the result of these shows,there is a great deal of wok and time and effort goes into putting one on. John you are so obviously in the small amount of people to complain(just you!) on here should tell you quite plainly that others do not support you.
You obviously want to make a big issue of this,and before it does escalate,I would ask the Mods to step in.You have a choice of two either go or dont go to next years show,and I would suggest the latter.
I hope this is spelt out to your complete satisfaction?

Agreed

Lets stick to the topic.
I, for one, am most gratefull to Martin for posting all the photos.
The Taplin Twin and the Gannet motors took me back to my youth.

I never could get the TT to run smoothly and swapped it for a Miles 5cc. special.
I still have one of our Gannets, Dad and I had one each. Bought from the man himself!
Pity that I cannot run it on most of the waters here as they no longer allow i.c.

Thank you tigertiger.

Yes it would be nice to have a show but we don't have enough 'boating' model shops and clubs are too far apart.

Our club has run several model expos in the past but, as we are few in number, the burden of organisation falls on a very small group. The expos were very popular with both exhibitors and the public alike, but the ratio of return (income) to work involved did not justify the enormous amount of effort put in by that small group. It will probably be some time before we attempt another, unfortunately

Peter.

I am pleased to say that I attended the Coalville show on saturday and thought the show was well organised and a pleasure to be greeted in such a friendly way by both the Traders and the boat club members, they all took the time to speak to you and answer my questions unlike some of the larger shows that are to busy and they are unable to answer all my questions. Keep up the good work.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if that attitude transferred to the Forum...

'Bout time muddy raters started to read posts in context and note tongue in cheek comments punctuated with smilies.

Hi Everyone,

Dave has laid the gauntlet down to John so as far as I'm concerned that's the end of the issue. Both parties can discuss the matter off Forum if they so wish. Any further comments on Forum will be removed.

I think you're very lucky to have dealers in your shows!

Here when there are merchants of Helicopters £ 20 or merchants donuts

we would be happy to have a show like Coalville

JayDee · « **Reply #140 on:** April 17, 2013, 05:51:25 pm »

Hello All,
I spent a long time on the Forum last night, long past Midnight, reading
what I had posted about the Coalville Show.
I cannot believe that I did that.
Totally out of Character for me, almost as if I was reading posts from
some one else !!.
I profoundly Apologise for my caustic, uncalled for comments, to all
Forum Readers and most of all the Organizers.
My trip down to Coalville had been a nightmare!, taking much longer than
I had planned, roadwork's, detours, miles of Speed cameras.
So when I arrived at the Show, I was not in the best of moods.
The trip back home was not much better !.
However, that does not excuse the awful posts that I made later on this
Forum.
Viewing the Forum this morning I see that the Admin has removed a lot of
the posts, but not from my memory, I am very ashamed that I sent them.
I hereby Promise that it will NOT happen again.
John Dowd.

We rarely come on here these days but I had to for this.. I had heard of the posts (no more mention) but I had been told of the last post from Jay Dee

Knock me over with a feather.... I am struggling for words .....This is not like the forum I was used to when someones unhappy. Lets hope its the start of something new for Martin...... a forum full of positives .......Its a refreshing change to see that post and I will say this.

Its a 'big man' behind a computer but it’s a Gentleman that stands up and says Sorry.

Thank you

A big thank you to all those that attended, the trade, the clubs and the visitors and the helpers who we cannot manage without...a special thanks. al;l those people make all the hard work worthwhile

We will roll on again next year and lest keep what we have left going Its been said by many and I find it a strange descriptive comment but its a 'friendly show' I think I now understand it... We are going to keep it that way.

To the guys and lasses in far flung regions of the world we would love and I speak for all the trade here I am sure we would love to come and do an expo or show in Aus or France... now all we need is a generous Richard Branson to take up model boating Martin can I put you down for official photographer on the flight.
