Les1952 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) South Notts Show 2022 is definitely ON. The much reduced and socially distanced show last September made a small profit in the end, probably just creeping into three figures. Look who got his train set on the poster! Mark Shipman has taken over as Show manager, as I managed to retire at the last AGM. Allows me to get a backlog of my own layouts into the show. Layouts attending- A Cold Front. (J.Styles) A Taste of Alba (D.Paylor) Brookfield (P.Butler) Caradon Junction (M.Kelly) Cumanavago (Bingham MRC) Croft Spa (L.Richardson) Horse Cove (Syston MRS) Southgate DMU (S.Greet) Spilsby (J&A Sharpe) Tamaro (H.Griffiths) Tremawn (J.Cotton) Victoria (D. Tailby) Woodthorpe Shed (J. Fownes) plus one other at least due to Mark finding some extra space.... Traders include Sherwood Models, Nottingham Malc's Models, Ilkeston Book Law Publications, Nottingham A2B Models, Matlock Bath J&C Models, Leicester Mount Tabor Models, Cromford Rocket Railways, Coalville Railway Correspondence & Travel Society Demonstrations Tony Wright Loco Clinic Modelling in Cardboard - John Fownes Weathering MERG Model Railway Electronics sadly Starlight Models has had to drop out as he is going in for an operation. We wish him well and look forward to seeing him again in 2023. More later when I have the details.

Les1952 Posted March 15, 2022 Author Share Posted March 15, 2022 The layout list wasn't as final as I thought. David Paylor has discovered he is double-booked, and the other booking happened first... There is another layout to replace it- also from someone called Dave, but mark hasn't sent me the details yet- (he'd better hurry up as the programme needs putting to bed tomorrow...)

Les1952 Posted March 31, 2022 Author Share Posted March 31, 2022 THIS WEEKEND, FOLKS!!! Update. Layout to replace "A Taste of Alber" is called "Phoenix" Railstuff has withdrawn, ill. All is prepared..... (famous last words) and we are as ready as we will ever be. Woodthorpe Shed may or may not be called Sherwood Shed, two pieces of paper with two different names, but we'll find out tomorrow when John arrives and takes the rise out of us as usual....

I hadn't had time to check that the pic was still there. Apologies for that. In the end Book Law had to pull out due to illness meaning Kath couldn't cover the shop and the stand on her own. Dave Tailby tested positive on the morning of the set-up so Victoria was withdrawn, and John Huddlestone having set up Zell on Friday tested positive on Saturday morning so removed the layout at 8am on Saturday with others in the building keeping a safe distance... We substituted the Pointless Little Roundy Roundy into part of Book Law's space with Malc's Models expanding their stand into the space also.

Les1952 Posted April 15, 2022 Author Share Posted April 15, 2022 To wind this thread up, the exhibition made a useful profit for club funds, which have taken quite a hit over the last two years.. The Trevor Webster Trophy for best in show went to "A Cold Front" Picture nicked from Facebook, probably taken by layout builder James Styles. The Favourite Layout Trophy judged on the punters' vote went to .......... "A Cold Front". And the main raffle prize is still un claimed, the winner's phone isn't being answered. Next Year's show is April 1st and 2nd (Palm Sunday weekend). Les 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERS Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Good to hear the show proved financially viable for the club, there were a number of exhibits that had some exceptional modelling on display and whilst “A Cold Front” deserved the title, several others ran it a close second. Looking forward to next year. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
