On our local TV Station they reported about a large Toy and what passes today for a Model Shop. Once a month, on a Friday evening, he has a Boys Night. This is for adult males, Groups or just alone, who pay 30 € and they get the whole evening to drive RC cars, fly Helicopters, indoor planes, operate Model railways no boats as yet but a big 4 lane Scalextric track.there was also the local model Flying Club there, answering questions abour RTF models. You get a couple of beers or coffee or what you want to drink, plus a Snack buffet. On the TV it looked great fun, there were a couple of Firms doing parties and a Football Club. There were about 30 odd guys there, the owner took orders, but did no direct sales. ( Shop opening laws) He said that it was a sucess but would be staying at once a month for the time being. 30x30 not a bad take for an evening, less the few expenses.
Naturally the 2 women TV Presenters were all sneering about "Boys Toys" but that was to be expected.
