sharris Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Hi, There will be no talks this year. Thanks Oh dear - that gives me at least an extra hour inside the exhibition when I might be tempted to buy more things! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach bogie Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) Notice from David Geen who, unfortuately, can no longer attend Bracknell (also posted in Small Suppliers Forum). As many of you are no doubt aware, I have been looking to retire from trading as DAVID GEEN MODEL RAILWAY KITS for some time. This has become a greater priority with the continued health issues with my wife Dorothy. I had hoped to make Expo, the EM Gauge Society exhibition at Bracknell, my last show, but regrettably, this is no longer possible, and I will not be able attend any further shows. In the coming weeks, as time permits, I will endeavour to complete existing orders where I can, but once this is done, we will be able to see what stock is left for those who have enquired in the past weeks. I would ask all who pre-ordered for delivery at Expo to get in touch to re-affirm their orders. We hope that the business will continue, and once the existing orders have been cleared, I can direct my time to securing the future for the existing range. Dorothy and I would like to thank friends, old and new, who have been very supportive, especially in recent difficult times and hope you have been able to enjoy the range. We look forward to meeting up with many of you at various future events, when we can enjoy being the other side of the counter.

chrisf Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Mike, I am sure that many of us would like to send good wishes to David and Dorothy, if you would not mind passing on the message please. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium ullypug Posted May 18, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 18, 2018 Very much looking forward to this tomorrow. I'll be doing a demo on wagon springing so please pop by and say hello. Unfortunately a colleague's retirement do tonight means I won't make it to Bracknell for the usual Friday night fight in the Wetherspoons car park though...

Leander Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 Heading down to Bracknell this morning ready to help with setting up starting around 1.00pm. Really looking forward to the weekend and what a great way to avoid Saturday's goings on a few miles further east! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium t-b-g Posted May 18, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 18, 2018 Ken Hill and Valleyfields are coming out of retirement for one more show with me, so I will be heading off soon to load up. This is always one of the top shows in the diary so whether you model in EM, P4, or anything else, it is well worth coming along. Hopefully see some RMWebbers there.

sharris Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 An excellent day today. Thanks to everyone involved. Very inspirational and stimulating. And good to see so much pre-grouping interest there. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 The show has been little short of brilliant; something for everyone. The car parking availability in the morning less so. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porcy Mane Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 (edited) The car parking availability in the morning less so. That's a positive. Hopefully, indicative of a very busy exhibition (despite the glorious weather) in combination with the good intentioned fatties of Bracknell pumping the pork.

RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted May 19, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 19, 2018 (edited) I need to go back tomorrow with my "office" varifocals; with my "driving" variofocals I'm having to get down and squint at the wagons too much. Immensely enjoyable. Some superb pre-Grouping layouts: Benfieldside, Lee-on-Solent, Valleyfields and of course for me Midland Sidings with Midland wagons galore. BR period layouts need to have some really distinctive character to work for me (personal tast - of course the modelling is first rate): Clutton this time looking fresher and making a better impression than at Scaleforum at Stoke Mandeville where it seemed to me to be looking a bit tired. I think I need to look for longer at Black Lion Crossing to work out what's going on. Flintcombe very nice to look at but a bit let down by the passenger stock - converted RTR vehicles. Surrey Arms I felt could do with more intensive operation - the track layout has scope for simultaneous comings and goings. Tucking Mill would be impressive in any scale.

sharris Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Just an FYI... Eileen's Emporium mostly only had BA sized fixings on display, they have metric but they're behind the counter. I did feel awkwardly pervy asking the man on the stall if he had metric nuts. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike G Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Travelled up from S Wales...so glad. Cracking day, excellent show! Loved Surrey Arms and Midland Sidings. But to be honest there really wasn't a bad one. Excellent trade support as well. If you don't go you'll be sorry! Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leander Posted May 19, 2018 Author Share Posted May 19, 2018 (edited) Thanks for all the positive comments. Like most shows we can do little about car parking. The possible reason for overcrowding in the car park this morning was that we didn’t have access to the overflow car park.. When checked this morning, the gates were padlocked.
