enginelane Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 Rmweb banner sorted and its blue this year - hope you have seen it and thus reduced the number of my entries but it's only 7 days to go, one week earlier than usual. Gloomy faces at the club suggests perhaps people will not realise the date change - help put their minds at rest and tell one , tell all its 20/21/22 nd November - Wakefield Show!

enginelane Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 Layout plaques came today and could become collectors items in the future. Why - you will have to visit 20/21/22 nd Nov 2015 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginelane Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 A gloomy weekend in many ways and one that puts things in life into perspective a little clearer. Makes tweets about model railway shows low down on a life scale. Sadly we have already had emails about people not coming because there is no X or Y. You said there would be this number of traders and that number of layouts and there are not so I am not coming . So be it. Any exhibition manager will tell you they try their best as do layout owners to fulfil their commitments but illness, changes in date with Warley have had some effect on this year on layouts and traders. Replacement traders have been found and I think if people will come they will see it is not possible to put anymore layouts in because this a year where size does matter! Wakefield is a quality, friendly, accessible show that has an excellent trade support looking to take money off one and all so with the weather forecast set cloudy but with only a few showers forecast we look forward to welcoming you all next Fri Sat Sun Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium ColinK Posted November 15, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 15, 2015 I can't understand why anyone would not want to come, Wakefield is one of the best shows in the country. So ignore those sad people who complain about everything and get over to Wakefield next weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Dava Posted November 16, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 16, 2015 Is there one which predicts friday evening motorway gridlock?

enginelane Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 Look forward to seeing you at the show but will it be with or without the dart frog? Apparently we will be going Saturday because 'we' need to nip to Ossett to buy a dart frog........ a blue dart frog. Look forward to seeing you at the show but looking on the web you might be asked to check your blue dart frog in at reception as I do not think our insurance covers us for possible effects of escaping poisonous frogs though come to think of it it could make a good present for someone I know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginelane Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 Still thinking of what to do over the weekend? Last briefing in club rooms last night and all the team know what they are doing because they did it all last year, might be a new name as exhibition manager but if it's not broke then no need to change so it's all systems go and the relentless crawl towards to Friday approaches.

5050 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 'Peforia Narrows' now had a re-paint. It is now a fetching shade of Dark Blue rather than a retching shade of Pink. Controller has a more user friendly longer switch and driver/switcher labels have been printed. Plenty of Polo Mints in stock - so we're good to go! Be there or be an equilateral quadra sided geometric shape. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

enginelane Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 A bit of a splutter of cornflake shrapnel over the wife this morning as the weather forecast had moved to snow and -4 until I realised iPad had decided to show me somewhere in Canada! Weather is moving towards colder here but just enough to keep people moving and with a ruddy glow from the walk from the car park. The college car park is available again this year with over 300 spaces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
