Despite a few unexpected hurdles to overcome in the run up to the show, I thought it went well. However, although the morning seemed quite busy, things appeared to slow down a bit later in the day. I believe the attendance was down overall, no doubt not helped by local transport issues and perhaps the threat of wet weather. If any of you did make it, thankyou for your support.

 

There was a good mix of layouts for enthusiasts and families alike. The younger visitors seemed to enjoy them. There were a few changes to the line-up of layouts that I wasn't aware of at the time of my original post.

 

I will try to upload a few photos later, when I have sorted them out.

 

Cheers,
