RMweb Gold 08221 Posted June 15, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 15, 2011 Hi, we have been busy cleaning rolling stock and doing some final bits of scenic work on our small contribution to the show - Little Brickhill. Just the operating sequence to fine tune now. Feel free to bring any DCC locos to run or take over the operating of our layout for a while and give us a break (and give us the chance to eat some of these cakes that keep getting mentioned!).

JimG Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I hope to be there. You won't miss me as I will be the one asking very very basic questions. Happy to help out in any way if a pair of hands needed. Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzyo Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 A decision has been made NOT to open the bar due to the staffing costs (£50 even though it was just for a 3 hour period). I will make sure that cold soft drinks are available though in addition to the tea and coffee. What is it with these places that they have to charge staffing costs? The profit from the drinks should cover that! I wouldn't mind betting that the bar staff would be working that day anyway. I would have liked to come down but I'm playing trains that day. Hope you all have a good (but dry day) . OzzyO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind betting that the bar staff would be working that day anyway. My sentiments exactly although I know the staff aren't in that day. I could have sent them a picture of craigwelsh at Railex to prove it may be worth their while opening. I should mention that one of our kind but geographically distanced members did offer to sponsor the bar being open for the day but by that time I'd plonked some layouts in front of it to get more in!

ozzyo Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Hello all, just waiting for Andy to get back to me so I can send a cheque off. If I did win a prize I want it put in the market place and the money raised put into the pot. OzzzyO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted June 17, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 17, 2011 Evening all. Have just been given permission to go to Stafford. I shall be driving from Retford, through Worksop to the M1 and down to the A38, A516 and then A 50 to A518 & Uttoxeter. If anyone wants to have a lift, or share the travel by meeting somewhere en route give me a PM. Only proviso is that I shall probably have to leave before the close of the show, but if a lift one way will help.... Phil @ 36E Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
67A Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Hi all, Hoping to get to Stafford to meet fellow members, looks as though it will be a good show. I don't mind helping out if needed. Cheers, Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Y Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 or anything to temp us to part with our hard earned? Shawplan will be there but aside from that there will be 2 stands which will be 'recycling' some items. The honest answer is that there's not a large enough attendance to merit a large trade presence and everyone spends all day gassing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
