Yes, Kim thought we should go away - in the garden - as it was Easter. The facilities were primitive but the breakfast was good! Jerry 10 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold john new Posted April 11, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) As this would have been Day 1 of the public section of the show weekend a quick repeat - Sadly we are closed over the B Hol weekend this year. Back in 2021. Stay safe, don't travel. If you would have attended and bought goods why not order from one of our traders anyway - see https://yorkshow.org.uk/traders/ For me, I will be spending the weekend working on my shunting plank, point motors put in place a day or so back now, next step is to wire them in. Also probably my first show missed as visitor, exhibitor or member of the show team since the Easter of 1973. Can't currently think of any reason why I have missed one since moving to York in summer 1972 as have been back every year since our move to Dorset. Weird times.

peterl Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 So how many did we get through the door? Has Mal finished his coffee yet as we are going out this evening. Well I can dream can't I? Been digging the garden, cutting the grass, And other odd jobs. Must do some modelling at some time but the weather is too nice to be stuck inside. Tried to work out how many York Shows I've been involved with. Must be about 20. Can anybody remember? Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold john new Posted April 12, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) Hope everyone gets parked Ok today for the virtual show’s second day despite the clash with the Park Run. Bacon butties from the restaurant seems a good way to start the day. Reminder - we are closed. Stay home, stay safe.
