Thank you Adrian and the team for a very enjoyable weekend. Dave & Rachael It was good to see you there and have a good natter, should have introduced myself as a fellow RMWebber when I was doing duty rounds and checking in on exhibitors. Did Rachael manage to stay awake on the journey home???? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold bcnPete Posted October 19, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 19, 2015 Just wanted to say thanks to Adrian and the Uckfield team for the hospitality and spoiling us this weekend - a great show and I really enjoyed to exhibit there. A cooked meal both days and the banoffee pie deserves its own thread on here Nice to meet some fellow RMWebbers (you know who you are!) and a big thanks to Alan and Maggie to let me have a quick operate on Oldshaw - Lovely to meet and speak with you both too. Congratulations are also due to Rolvenden for winning best layout in show. Received some nice comments on my Kyle layout (made it into Uckfield news I was told by a viewer on Sunday) and apart from a minor electrical fault it performed fairly reliably - 27 minutes after the show finished we were on the road back to London. A few pics of my favourite layout there Oldshaw: Many thanks, Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
