RMweb Premium ullypug Posted April 29, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 29, 2012 just back from a squelchy Taunton. Very good event and hats off to all for organising. Nice to put faces to a few names, and vice versa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I hope you all have got your waders with you or willing to sleep in the hall tonight. !5mm rain over night and another 21mm so far today. How many !inches is that? Last Summer during Hurricane Irene we had 7.5inches of rain in 24 hours but some on Long Island had over 15 inches of rain ('cos everything is bigger over here as my Wife keeps reminding me). Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Endacott Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I am having to give this a miss for the first time this year. The weather is less than ideal for a drive down the M4 and M5 so I have stayed put in Wiltshire. Geoff Endacott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackRat Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Thanks to everyone for making it such a great day (again!), superb, it just gets better. Forget the trains, its just good to meet up! Capn, take a bow, Andy, likewise as well as all the catering staff. Now I'm in trouble for eating some rather plumptious cake on the way back and wont be wanting any party food later! Thanks one and all for a grand day out!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted April 29, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 29, 2012 Very good day out (apart from the 3 hour train journey back home due to fallen trees) Big thanks to the organisers, caterers and exhibitors. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon s Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Having enjoyed the show in previous years, I was disappointed to miss it this year, but would love to see some pics of the event, so come on guys, get posting.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dicky W Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Thanks to Tim and everyone else at Taunton for making Steve, Chris and I so welcome. I was glad to see so many people despite the atrocious weather - though I didn't enjoy their washing up (just kidding!) I'll try and post a couple of photos later. See you all again next year!

Earl Bathurst Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 What a fantastic day, Weather down to Taunton was horrific. But had a brilliant time there met lots of new people and got alot of fantastic advice from people. Also being given the chance to operate such a fantastic layout like Orchard Road was a highlight of the day. Gaining some ideas for the stunning layout Yard Shunter aswell. Infact all the layouts and displays that attended were fantastic. Also enjoying my Cornish pasty was another highlight along with tims (stodge bun) All in all a fantastic day a big thank you to Captain Kernow and all those involved in organising the day. And to Andy who i had the pleasure of talking to Scott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim V Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 The thought of the pasty kept me going - if it hadn't been for one with my name on it, the appalling weather would have put me off coming down. Great day Tim & the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warspite Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 As a RM Web Members' Day virgin and didn't know what to expect, I just want to thank Tim and the team for a really enjoyable day. Nice to put faces to names, meet Andy ('Mr R.M. Web' as my wife described him), see some outstanding layouts and enjoy some very pleasant company. Oh, and we thought the pasties were excellent! Thanks everybody, including the exhibitors who braved the elements to put on a fantastic show. Will post some photos later. Stephen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRealistic Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 In one word... Brilliant!.... although the pasties ran out before I had a chance to get myself one! Had a couple of chocolate brownies instead... and they were gorgeous. Couple of photos.... Can't think of a caption for the first, so any offers??? The second is Tom's miniature marvel... only wish I could have got his lamp-shade in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Sidecar Racer Posted April 29, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 29, 2012 Cant do anything but agree with the other comments , another superb day as we have come to expect from the good Capt K . Nice to re-meet some known members and to meet several new ones . It's always nice to meet those we merely converse with here . And a nice to see you too Rick, AKA Gwiwer , all the way from Aus is really showing commitment to the cause . Heres a photo of him . Lots of excellent modelling on show as has become the norm at these events and the first ever RMweb Modular layout worked very well , so hats off to all those involved in this part of the day and Stubby for suggesting it in the first place . Thanks to Tim , sorry to have missed you when we left , all who helped with the catering and to Andy Y and the BRM folks who came along to support the event . Now to start a campaign for more module builders for next year , Now to wait for the Stafford day to do it all over again . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Brinkly Posted April 29, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 29, 2012 Your a naughty man Mike! As others have said, it's always a great event and lovely to see to see such a good turn out on such a horrid day. Regards, Nick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted April 29, 2012 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 29, 2012 Thanks again to all who helped make this a really excellent day, particularly those who brought layouts and demonstrations etc.. Just got back home and starting to unpack stuff and generally recover - and it didn't stop raining the whole time that good old Re6/6 drove his trusty Jeep down the M5 to Devon either! I may not get round to posting my photos for a day or so (there are quite a few of them), but I thought it would be nice to have a seperate thread for the images, a kind of 'Photographic Retrospective' if you like, so I'll start one now. Oh, and the next Taunton Members Day is already booked for Sunday 28th April 2013... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted April 29, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 29, 2012 Thanks to Tim (CK), Andy Y and Warners for organising a great day, thanks also to Stu Mike & Mike for running rights on the module layout. I really liked seeing Orchard Lane & Yard Shunter together too - very inspirational. Thanks to anyone else who provided the usual background hints & tips too. It was good to meet up with Marc Smith for the yearly motivational talk too! As an aside though - did anyone find a Lowe Alpine compact camera case, with an orange lining, possibly around the module layout area - seem to have mislaid mine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
