We are hoping to be able to serve Light Refreshments including an outside seating area but this is Weather Permitting. 

Similarly, we hope to hold a 'covid safe' Tombola and Raffle.

 

There will be a One Way System in the Hall and all windows and doors will be open to provide additional circulation. Further Covid precautions are being investigated.

In a weeks time we'll be one sleep away from doors open.

 

Sadly, Caistor Loco will no longer be attending.

 

We are trying to find a replacement but this may not be possible.

A shameless bump here as the show is this weekend. I hope to get an update from the Exhibition Manager at our club night this Thursday Evening.

Setup for the show has gone well this evening with 4 layouts to set up tomorrow morning.

 

If you are heading out Skegness way to view the Steam Railtour tomorrow, why not pop by Stickney? We're a small village hall show and would love to see you.

 

For Covid, we'll be having all the doors and windows open for extra circulation and there will be a seating area outside the hall.

Hand Sanitiser will be available on entry and all areas where contact could be made. We will also be ensuring all regular 'touch surfaces' are cleaned regularly.

We are following government guidance on masks and social distancing. To aid the latter, a One Way system will be in place.

I had a very pleasant day at this friendly show today.

There's a good selection if layouts and excellent cake; well worth a visit.

I spent the weekend there as operator for Tony Forward.

 

Very pleasant atmosphere.  Friendly club who treat their exhibitors well.

 

Could have done with a few more punters on Saturday but the club seemed satisfied with the attendance.

 

Well worth adding to your diary next year if you live in or around Lincolnshire.

We think the fact Flying Scotsman was putting in an appearance affected Saturday afternoons attendance.

It was busier in the morning then it often cab be. I'm looking forward to seeing the visitor number comparisons to previous years when the Treasurer has done his maths! 

 

We aim to break even on our show. We're a little club with a little village hall show and enjoy the freindly atmosphere.

We'll be back next year on the last weekend in September at Stickney Village Hall
