Geoff Endacott Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 A photo shoot is a good idea in principle but the touble is that most RMweb members coming to the show seem to be involved with operating layouts. How about after we close on Saturday? Geoff Endacott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Sidecar Racer Posted March 28, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 28, 2011 Well there will be two members there who will not be involved with any of the exhibits in any way , so we would be quite happy to pose for a group photo .

Geoff Endacott Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 Perhaps 4.00 p.m. would be better because the last bus for Chippenham Station leaves at 4.30. Geoff Endacott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
37114 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I am easy although I believe a number of RMWebbers will be tied up playing trains, lets go for 4 and we could always follow up with a 5pm exhibitors phot shoot if there is the appetite. I will also be producing the layout voting form for RM web layouts award, these will be displayed in a prominent place probably by the entrance.

Penlan Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 So there could be 3 photo shoots, One each on Saturday and Sunday at an (almost) agreed time for visiting RMWebers, and one on Saturday late in the exhibiting day for RMWeb exhibitors, but will there be enough glass plate negatives to allow for such extravegence!.... . . . Who's idea was this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted March 29, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 29, 2011 I will also be producing the layout voting form for RM web layouts award, these will be displayed in a prominent place probably by the entrance.

great central Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Only a week to go and the Deepcar crew should be about loading the van, I'll probably be trying to get some sleep on the way down then as I don't finish work until 00.45 Friday mornig so won't be in bed before 01.30! See you next week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penlan Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Great Central, thinking about you having a kip on the way, that's nice I thought..... then I realised I will be by myself and have about 60 miles further to travel to Melksham than 'Deepcar' has from Nottingham. This seems like bad self management on my part. (And some say Wiltshire's in SWAGland too, or is it Cornwall that's to far....). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold queensquare Posted April 1, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 1, 2011 (And some say Wiltshire's in SWAGland too, or is it Cornwall that's to far....). Wiltshire is definately in SWAGland, (my home county), and Cornwall is, well, near perfect - I lived near Redruth for a number of years in the eighties. I will be at Trainwest along with my old friend John Greenwood (now a Cornish resident) helping out as guest operators on Basingstoke. Looking forward to it, Geoff has put together another cracking line up this year. Jerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Endacott Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 There are a total of six layouts coming this year with round trips of more than 400 miles. I suppose that's what happens when you go for layouts which don't normally appear in this part of the world. Geoff Endacott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mileage - that is what happens 'when you try to put on an Exhibition with the best that's available in the UK'.. in this part of the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr roarke Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 HI 450 miles is a Sunday outing compared with our trip to Wadebridge in October of approximately 325 miles each way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMal Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Closely followed by Gox Hill Quarries with a round trip of 450 miles!!! why do we do it? Peter Will be interesting to record the actual mileage on the route we are planning along the Fosse Way as non of the route planners I have checked show this route (satnav, online, etc.). These vary from the shortest route via various Lincolnshire cart tracks at 400 miles round trip to the longest (fastest ) route at over 500 miles Mal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
