Advice? Me? Really?

The countdown to the 2015 Weston show is very much on. We have now entered the final month and the show has even started to creep up the events bar on the main forum page. The hurdles continue to be placed in front of me. A very busy work situation has prevented me from measuring up those newly altered classrooms and has meant I am still to complete the floor plan. With next week being half term I know that I will really have to get things sorted during my time away from the classroom. Two parents evenings this week does restrict my time for carrying out the task, but I will get there - I have to!

The ladies in the office have worked tirelessly to send out requests for raffle prizes. As yet the responses have been slow, but stand up and take a bow the Crich Tramway Village who have kindly donated some tickets. We have a couple of DVD's, some chocolates and the usual offers of wine so we will not be short.

At the weekend I was out and about at the Wirksworth show ensuring a plentiful supply of leaflets were distributed. Requests have been sent off to three of the main model publications for show guide listings and the UK Model Shop entry has been updated. Over half term I plan to place a list of layouts on the show's RMWeb thread. I have hung back on this thus far due to the ever changing nature of this year's line up.

 

This week has brought an interesting development, namely an email from a fellow show manager asking me for advice. I was happy to help the person in question and passed on as much as I could, but it did strike me as a rather interesting development. It does not seem that long ago that I was begging people for help and advice when starting to organise our first Weston event. Do I really fall into the experienced organiser category now??

Looking forward very much to exhibiting... The victoria bridge blog has been quiet of late but I have been preparing more additions so I can run a mini branch line gala.... Stretching reality a little there will be a dean goods visiting from Swindon for the day. With the floorplan still to be confirmed, is there any chance of victoria bridge being next to foster street- as I am very keen to have a closer look!

You can have a closer look at Foster Street, but try not to point out the many, many faults, I may even have the Ivatt Class 4 running by then? Flying Pigs might actually Fly :)

Weston on Trent show. Saturday 14th November. At Weston on Trent Primary School in South Derbyshire.

I have the idea of Victoria Bridge and Foster Street close by, but it depends how all else fits together.
