Geoff Endacott Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 Six weeks to go and I think I'm organised. There are just a few minor changes to the list of exhibits, as detailed above. Geoff Endacott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Geoff, look forward to seeing you and the lads and lasses soon. Matt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Endacott Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 Two weeks to go. We are now within long-range weather forecast territory and there is no mention of snow. I live in hope... Geoff Endacott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
angell328 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 The way the weather is going it may well be floods this year, how many layouts will have an aquatic theme?!Least the Landy is back on the road so I will be there no matter what!

Geoff Endacott Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 This evening we worked out how to get everything into the van and over to Calne. This is promising. Despite the forecast for snow overnight, it is pouring with rain here at the moment. The forecast for the weekend doesn't look too bad. It looks as though we will not be seeing a repeat of the 2013 snow show. Geoff Endacott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
40F Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Do you want the snow clearing gear put on standby then or put away altogether ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Endacott Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Swap if an umbrella for Saturday. On Sunday you may not even need that. Geoff Endacott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Endacott Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 Rain Saturday. Wintry sunshine Sunday. Luxury! The local forecast did suggest snow on Monday evening, but we will be packed up long before then. Geoff Endacott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenrithBeacon Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Quite looking forward to this show, breaking my duck for the new year. It's a long way to go, but I think it'll be worth it. Regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Work progresses on putting the finishing touches to some new details to go on Embankment Road, keep an eye out for them at Calne. Tracks cleaned, wheels cleaned. Ready to pack after work tonight! Say hello if you're passing by over the weekend! jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Endacott Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 Note to club members packing the layout. Don't forget the road vehicles - and the platform canopies - and the controllers - and the bolts. My car is now full. Geoff Endacott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

angell328 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Another great show this weekend, very entertaining with a good selection of Layouts and trade. Hope the Gentleman makes a speedy recovery, and as for club members in a police car.....well there are a few that could do with a padded cell maybe not a police cell mind! Many Thanks for the hard work Geoff and the crew. Matt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Endacott Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Perhaps I should explain. The van broke down on the climb of Derry Hill when returning to Calne to collect the second load. This left it in a dangerous position on an unlit stretch of the A4 main road in pitch darkness. A passing police car stopped and parked just before the van with blue lights flashing. The officer placed signs further down the hill to warn approaching traffic. Our guys were offered seats in the back of the police car because it was safer and warmer. I left them in the back of the police car, waiting for the recovery vehicle. Many thanks to Wiltshire Constabulary. Geoff Endacott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
