Time has flown!

Was it really the beginning of June when I last posted on this blog?? How time does fly, and to be honest the lack of input on here has rather matched the progress with this year's show. A house move, a holiday and starting back at work under a new head teacher have rather taken over my time. Just a couple of weeks ago Chris, who runs the kitchen at the event, approached me to ask about lunch arrangements for the day. My reaction was "oh sh**, is it really that close?" Well yes it is. The third Weston on Trent show is only six weeks away and the fingers are well and truly out!

 

To be honest, knowing of my impending house move, much of the work was done in the early part of the year so we are not behind by any means. This week has seen the new layout information forms sent out to gather up the final information from all our exhibitors. This will make sure nothing gets missed after my break from duties. A few phone calls this week has confirmed some other layouts and seen a couple of failures too. Despite this the show is filling up nicely. I do think we could have our best ever line up of layouts. That being said there is still one definite gap. We still need a narrow shelf layout, maybe operated from the front, which could fill the space in one of the corridors. Any offers considered!!!

 

As with the last two shows I plan to exhibit my own "Skaleby West" layout. This remains stored out of use in our spare room at present. The plan is to update the goods shed area for this year's event, replacing the poor scratch built building that has never looked quite right. I bought an off the shelf Bachmann building during the summer which will fit the space so now it is just a case of getting down to work. This may be the layout's last outing. It will have attended three Weston shows in a row, all be it with some amendments each time. The goods shed is the last area to be dealt with so there will be no changes for next year. With that in mind I am planning to start something new - more on that soon. Skaleby West will remain available for other exhibitions.

 

More updates soon.
