Hi Paul, Good to see your post, hopefully it will encourage more people to attend.  On a minor note can I point out that my Layout Planning Clinic is a Demonstration and not a trade stand.  Kind regards Paul

Paul has posted more on his demonstration at

Setting up well underway. The 2nd hand shop is packed with goodies. Monk Bar models and George Books will have small sales stands. As always a very good tombola is organised and York Against Cancer have delivered a good selection of food and non alcoholic drinks. If you come along please sit down and have a tea and cake, YAC gain all of that. 

 

Thanks as always to Monk Bar models for supporting us, including paying for the full colour souvenir programme. 

 

 

 

 

 

It will all be a lot tidier by 10.00 on Saturday when the Lord Mayor arrives.

A brilliant little show, well organised and we were well looked after.

Cheers, Kev and Maggie.

Wow, we had a great weekend. Really inspires that small local shows are the future for this hobby! Fortunately we hadn't filled the hall up too much because we were very busy on Saturday morning with queuing for the 2nd hand shop. It filled a store room. 

 

Lots of photos at https://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/exhibition2024

 

The York Mayor and Mayoress opened the show and visited every exhibitor. They were very enthusiastic. They stayed for 2 hours and the Mayor returned briefly on Sunday! By the way, the Mayoress's chain of office may look very modern, but is believed to be 4 - 500 years old. 

 

 

And here are the cup winners.
