I’ll be heading south after work on Thursday for the Brighton show. I’m doing some modelling demonstrations over the weekend as well as assisting at the show in general. Come and say hello. Down under member John Nuttall ( St Enodoc ) will also be there….Saturday I think.

Some pictures from Saturday at the exhibition. I’ll be taking a fair few more today.

Good show, spent an enjoyable morning there yesterday. Hove park's LNWR Swifsure with correct compounding arrangement was something to behold. Sadly I couldn't get a picture that did it justice.

A few more photos from the show. Initial figures appear to show a 15-20% increase in attendance from last year. Thank you to everyone who visited and to our traders, societies and exhibitors.

Thanks to all those who attended, looks like attendance was up about 12% on 2022. 
2024 planning is well under way.
