Best of luck with the show tomorrow. Unfortunately I fear that it is too late for me to submit the paperwork for day release this time. Just sneak out the back, Jack, make a new plan Stan....

exmoordave Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 Many of the layouts and traders now in place, all being set up in glorious sunshine, accompanied by the occasional sound of steam engines at the adjacent station!! The remainder will arrive early tomorrow morning, so let's hope it's an enjoyable day for everyone. So if you want to see the full size railway, plus the seaside and beautiful countryside, plus a quality model railway exhibition, then treat yourself to a trip to sunny Minehead! Hope to see you there and best to all exmoordave 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

devonmodeller Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Many thanks to Dave and his team for another well organised show, and also thanks to Mike3 for providing a bed for the Friday night, showing me his fantastic layout and operating Southurst for the meal break. Also good to see devonseasider is recovering and enjoying his role as babemagnet. All in all a very enjoyable couple of days in good company. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

exmoordave Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 Well another show is over, and a big thank you for everyone who supported us - exhibitors, traders, demonstrations, societies and of course members of the public who came along. We received lots of compliments about the show and especially about the high standard of the layouts on display. Our annual award for modelling excellence was judged independently and the award went to NHY 581 (Rob of this parish) for his layout Mutton. So many congratulations to him - and here's a photo to prove it..... Best to all exmoordave 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted August 6, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 6, 2019 Morning, Dave. I was taken completely by surprise by the awarding of such a splendid trophy. I've never so much as won a raffle before. This award was even more special when I realised that it had been judged by fellow modellers at the show. The show was a delight to be part of and I think it fair to say that the welcome that we as exhibitors received was second to none. You and the team were tremendous. Mutton of course played it's part and behaved itself very well with only one of the Adams Radials needing a stiff talking to during the day. A thoroughly enjoyable day out in a part of the world very close to my heart and one where this particular Welshman was made to feel very welcome. Diolch yn fawr iawn*. Rob. * (Thank you very much) 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
