the penguin of doom Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 Sorry to drag things back to that This wee show will be the penultimate appearance of Brian's 'Bonchester Bridge' after around twenty years on the circuit,so the old girl had had a cermonial hoovering, and 'Port Pennan' has a new roll of sellotape allocated Looking forward to Saturday. Should I ask what the sellotape is for Pennine?..... It's sad news that 'Bonchester Bridge' is now on the home straight, but we're glad to have her gracing us with her prescence on Saturday. Looking forward to seeing you there. Cheers..... Sean. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the penguin of doom Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 Hi all. Well, the open day is less than 24 hours away now and I've just got back from the town hall with Mike. We've been measuring up and laying down the floor plan for tomorrow. I won't speak too soon - until the layouts are in - but schematically, it all fits..... That's one less worry for me as opening time draws near! I'm off to work now, on late shift and don't finish till midnight. If it aint sorted now, it won't get sorted! Only job left is to sort out what stock I'm going to take for my display. Suggestions on a postcard please..... Looking forward to seeing you there. Cheers. Sean and the HMRG.

Pennine MC Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Should I ask what the sellotape is for Pennine?..... Cardboard baseboards . I won't speak too soon - until the layouts are in - but schematically, it all fits..... In the same way as schematically, I wont be up late and schematically, will be a faultless operator Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the penguin of doom Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 Cardboard baseboards In the same way as schematically, I wont be up late and schematically, will be a faultless operator Hopefully not Pennine.

I saw people from as far a Bridlington, South Yorkshire and Cleethorpes as well as as several of our own (Hull MRS) members. Well done guys! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the penguin of doom Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share Posted October 2, 2011 Hi all. Well, I'm pleased to say that the open day went exceptionally well yesterday for all involved. We were all really happy at the number of people who came to see us and more importantly, we have made a little bit of cash for the group to put away for a rainy day. So it just remains for me to say a big thanks to all of you out there in RMweb land who contributed to this thread, exhibited your fine layouts, or took the time to come to Hessle and say hello. It is you who spurred us on and helped to make the day such a success. The general feeling amongst members is that we will do it again in the future and so till next time..... Cheers. Sean and the Hessle Model Railway Group. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will definatly pop over one Wednesday to check out a "normal" club night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimbamoss Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I have a friend (Ben Dixon) on Magic, I was chatting to him the day before saying I would be on "the north bank" on saturday. A brief chat ensued and your exhibition was mentioned on their "whats on" guide. I hope it did some good! Btw it was nice to meet you, very nice show, great talking to all involved, I look forward to seeing you next year. Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennine MC Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 ... for a rainy day. Which it definitely wasnt yesterday So it just remains for me to say a big thanks to all of you out there in RMweb land who contributed to this thread, exhibited your fine layouts, On behalf of Ken and Brian, I've no doubt you're quite welcome Sean. It was a really pleasant day despite the heat, and there's not many railway shows have a Viking as a steward Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike knowles Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 As chairman of Hessle MRG (sounds grand but it isn’t really!) may I offer my thanks to all those who took part and all those who attended. It was a great day, attendance far exceeding my expectations and a good time seemed to be had by all. Just a small beginning but hopefully it will have encouraged us to go on to bigger and better things in the future. The cakes were good too! A few pictures. The Mayor of Hessle with Mike & Sean (The Penguin of Doom) who were the two main organisers – well done chaps. ] A couple of general views. Bridshed layout – a work in progress.

Bulleidboy Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Hello Sean Congratulations to you and the other members of Hessle MRC for your first exhibition - let's hope it becomes a regular event. It was good to meet a fellow rmwebber and have a chat - will try to get along to the Town Hall one Wednesday in the not too distant future.

allan31956 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Sean, I need to make contact with the owner of Bonchester Bridge. I was vey late getting to the show after work today and saw the layout at York today but didn't make contact with him about purchasing the layout, because I needed to get the proper planning permission. This has now been given! and I'm seriously thinking about making a bid if it is still available. Can you help. Allan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the penguin of doom Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 I can Allan. Try contacting "penninemc" on here initially and he may be able to point you in the right direction. If you get no joy, let me know and I may be able to speak to Ken on Wednesday. Cheers. Sean. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennine MC Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Thanks Sean - I already sent Allan a PM when I saw his post in the show thread ... as yet unread... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
