RMweb Gold adrianmc Posted October 27, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 27, 2017 (edited) WillowTreeShed has uploaded a video of the exhibition on YouTube. At nearly an hour long all the layouts are featured apart from Surrey Arms - apparently it was too crowded when he tried. Well worth watching.

RMweb Gold Regularity Posted November 9, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 9, 2017 A show which has the work of the Gravett’s coming second in two polls is setting a very high standard! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adrianmc Posted November 10, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 10, 2017 A show which has the work of the Gravett’s coming second in two polls is setting a very high standard! The Gravetts did come first in one event - they, combined with the Sidmouth crew, formed the team that won the table top quiz at the Saturday Social answering questions on topics as diverse as sweets, catchphrases and palindromes. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you say. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium DLT Posted November 10, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 10, 2017 Yes, but as I pointed out at the time, they were sat on the same table as the quiz setter (you). Coincidence? So you say. And there were EIGHT of them on that table! We only had four and come a resounding bottom... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium DLT Posted November 10, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 10, 2017 A photographic retrospective has now been uploaded to the Club's website at http://www.uckfieldmrc.co.uk/exhib17nf.html Lovely set of photos Adrian, thanks very much. I see that the one shot of me has me clutching a mug of tea; I hate to think just how much tea we imbibed over the weekend. As I've said before, an excellent show. I'd like to come again, would you like me to bring Charmouth in a couple of years time? Many thanks, Dave. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Copleston Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Thanks Adrian, a super set of exhibition photos. I enjoyed myself immensely at this the most friendly of shows I have been to in years! And I hope I entertained and informed all those who engaged with my demo. Would love to come back again sometime (perhaps with my more complete 2mm layout?). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giles Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 It was a great show - and the club were extremely welcoming from the very first moment! The never-ending tea was superb...... Maggie won the quiz single handed through her unequalled comprehensive knowledge and first hand experience of chocolate...!!! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold adrianmc Posted November 18, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 18, 2017 I guess two had to "declare an interest", having compiled it! Yes my other half, Georgina, couldn't really take part as I asked her for feedback on the "difficulty" or not of the questions. A self confessed chocaholic there was just one of the sweets in the 26 alphabet sweet questions that she didn't get - so that part of the quiz was judged to be just about right! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
