You might want to correct the spelling of Invicta in your list of traders.

Just back from setting up. What I saw was very good, I'm looking forward to seeing Medway Quay who set up in the morning.

Another great show. This is the third year in a row and I’m still walking away with fresh ideas. I’ll be definitely coming back next year.

Well done everyone who came and exhibited and traded.  Total adults through the door was 710 plus lots of kids so we gotta be near the 900 persons altogether  which was great to see and kept 'Small and Working',  Windmill Hill and 'A Load of Balls' busy all day with the kids. Our two catering girls sold our our entire stock of 150 hotdogs, so they were kept busy also, Thank you also for the two small layouts donated, one already is earmarked to go out today to primary school once we re-DCC it and get a controller and buying a small seconhand N gauge loco and coaches for it.  Speaking of which will have a interesting week on ebay  picking up as many secondhand controllers as possible, our waiting list for roundy layouts will be getting a nice surprise from Santa this xmas, well hope to have bult at least three by the weekend to go out and more next week.  Great also to pick up some new members and also one of our exhibitors wants to come on board so means we can do  more visits.

 

A few cock up's like one layout not working as ABC models forgot to pack their controller and the moment I took a representive for the 'Men In Sheds' charity to see the debut and impressive 'Cecily Road' as soon as I said, 'This is one amazing layout with all the sounds and lights' The power failed on it. Lucky I managed to redeem myself my telling him 'Actually this is sH'T'.   so I saved face, lucky it was a simply points outage and Steph soon had it up and running again a minute later much to everyones amusment.   By the way it was the one he liked most along with the O gauge 'Allo Allo' themed one with Rene at his Cafe.  Steve Rogers setting up the 24ft Adapatus the wrong way the night before so it faced it's own club secondhand stand instead of the public, lucky I spotted this early or that would have been weird but also very funny the next day when we opened. 

 

Easy show to run with just the four of us, Larissa and Emma on catering and Shannon and I on the door with everyone setting up and striking their layouts on time and me at the end of the day, pretending to panic, telling exhibitors that the man with the Titanic exhibition has just crashed his car in the car park, then the look of concern on their faces until I told them, he has just hit a iceburg.   I think Colin from the 00 gauge Assc fell for the same joke twice.

 

Planning now for next year and also our summer show in Sevenpoaks.
