How local is it to you my friend?

Hi Gary.....

Just seen your Twitter posting, (although I am not on a Twitter account), regarding your new job at Eastbourne Models and Collectors Centre......hope that when all the Covid restrictions are eased sufficiently, I can combine a visit to The Bluebell with  a long weekend in Eastbourne and call in to the shop,,,been a long time since I've been to Eastbourne - last time was for the airshow weekend many years ago.....

From your images the shop looks well stocked, will search for the website...

Regards always

Bob

Hi Bob,

The shop is give or take 10 miles from my front door, despite being in a different town with a nice country drive on the way!

I very much approve of a long weekend in Eastbourne, lived there for the first 18 years of my life and never really appreciated the advantages of living in a holiday town (although I suppose working as a porter in a hotel will do that to you!)

The shop is currently not open at the weekend, though we are working on a solution to that, and the website is not great, again this will be addressed in due course.

If you do come down this way, you'll have to pop round to Oak Hill Towers to have a play with the many layouts contained within, I'll even setup the exhibition layout!!

PS. Many years ago I used to get all nice and smart in my Air Cadets uniform and sell programs at that airshow, it was always good fun!!
