Set up on Friday went smoothly, despite missing the right turning from the North Circular for Ally Pally. My Son did an excellent job at map reading (no new fangled Sat Nav for us!). The unloading was greatly eased through a helpful trader who had just finished using his rather excellent 4 wheel trolley which he kindly let us borrow, reducing the number of trips between vehicle and site considerably!
Everything worked well on set up and we celebrated by visiting IKEA for Swedish meatballs before retiring to the hotel.
With no repeat of the problems finding our way this morning we had a bit of an opportunity to wander before the show opened. There is a heck of a lot to see and it was great to put names to faces and chat to everyone. Thanks to 2BIL for his assistance, he is now a passed drag-line driver and as ever to Rad for his help.
The show was busy, but not so full you couldn't see things and the space between the layouts is good. This afternoon the West Hall opened its vents in the roof and we had a really pleasant afternoon.
Hope to see folks tomorrow, come and say 'hello'
David
