RMweb Premium St Enodoc Posted April 27, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 27, 2020 48 minutes ago, Mikkel said: A great event, big thanks to the organisers! It will never replace real people meeting up, and of course the circumstances are tragic. But as others have suggested, maybe there's an opportunity to do something similar in the future in a happier context. I hadn't fully realized beforehand what an opportunity a virtual event/exhibition also is for those of us who are abroad, or otherwise not able to attend exhibitions regularly. I hereby propose that SWAG redefine its territory to everything Southwest of the Bering Sea. Mikkel, I have the honour of being the Honorary Consul of the Noble Realm of Swagonia in the Colonies of New South Wales and New Holland. I understand that the equivalent post in the Monarchy of Denmark is currently vacant. I can think of no better candidate than your good self. 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As has already been said by so many the real winners here are the NHS charities - and also the RMweb community for the wonderful display of solidarity in delivering such a fantastic outcome. Having checked the form with @Andy Y I confess! As second out of the hat I have claimed the Heljan 43xx which was still available - and yes SWMBO knows, she is already contemplating my application for a garden railway. She did suggest that as she baked the cake it was hers by right.... I was going to point out that as there is no GW mogul on her dress she had no grounds to make such a claim - see but that might have put my Blue Pullman at risk ! So not going there.... So a huge thank you to Andy Phil Stu and all the team - and specifically to Heljan for donating such a wonderful prize. I really am overwhelmed....

I will be placing an order with Hattons at some time in the future.* Obviously, whilst I was delighted to win, and without wanting to sound trite, the old adage ‘it’s not the winning that matters but the taking part’ was never truer than in this situation. * You can bet your bottom dollar that I will end up spending more than the voucher and that’s the bit I would like to keep from Mrs BoD if you don’t mind. 6 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a rollocking from Mrs B! Why had I not bought one of those Lionheart bargains available over the weekend to go with it! 64xx and 2 coaches for less than £250 IIRC!
