Blog- What have I let myself in for? - The ups and downs of a show organiser


Recommended Posts

I have not posted in this blog since the end of the Weston 2014 event. The new head teacher was so happy with the money raised that he gave the green light to the 2015 show. It seems we are here to stay. Planning has been underway for many months, and there are already many layouts booked. I am pleased that a couple of my top targets have agreed to attend this year's event, and I have various layout plans bubbling along for my own exhibit. Hopefully we will reach the heights of previous years.

 

Sadly there have been a few down moments. Family health issues have caused me to be deflected away from organising the event for a month or two which has resulted in a slowing of layout bookings. We have also lost a couple of long term exhibitors. Our Meccano man sadly passed away just before Christmas and will be very much missed. A further layout owner has since pulled out due to ill health, whilst another double booked himself and has also pulled out. This has been added to by a long term trader who also double booked himself and has pulled out whilst another has cut down the number of events he is to attend and cut us from his programme.

 

All this has left a few holes to fill. If anyone is interested in filling those gaps they will be most welcome.
