valleymodeller Posted April 9, 2018 Author Share Posted April 9, 2018 Just two weeks to go, I think I can hear the bacon beginning to sizzle! Ken Thankfully Ken I don't have to cook it! It's looking like a good show, all of our advertising leaflets have gone, apart from a few I'll be taking to the RCTS meeting on Wednesday . All the layouts booked have confirmed their attendance , I just to try and get it all to fit in. Almost all the layouts are different to last year's show, bar 2, and one of those has been in the model press (Forest Gate Parkway). I just hope we have a good attendance on the day. I wish I had more leaflets to put out, we had 500 last year and printed 1000 this year and they've all gone. And Cardiff City moved the game to a 7.45pm kick off for Sky so it'll be a long day.

valleymodeller Posted April 20, 2018 Author Share Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) 10 layouts have been set up tonight, and the tea bags and bacon has arrived on site! We await 4 more layouts early tomorrow morning plus our two traders, Lord & Butler and MIB Models. Not sure how the weather will turn out, it's forecast a few showers early on and warming up in the afternoon. I'm not sure whether fine weather is good for our attendance, or rain, or a mixture. You just never can tell how it will turn out on the day. We've postered local model shops, and given out 1000 fliers (compared to 500 last year), and it's been in the model press and on some local Facebook pages. So I hope we get a decent turnout of visitors to help swell the club's funds. Of the layouts that have set up so far there is some excellent quality there, in HO, OO, N and Hoe. There may be few noisy US and Canadian sound effects tomorrow. We've just put out a large number of books and DVDs next to the entry desk which are available for £1 each, (£2 0r £3 for the boxed sets). So come along and grab a bargain and see some great layouts on the day. Edited April 21, 2018 by valleymodeller Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
