Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley

What a tremendous tribute to your late father. I am sure that he would be both heartened and proud to have "done his job as a dad" and have left behind a person who can express himself so eloquently in this time of grief. May you find solace in the fact that you have not let him down. My father suffered dementia. Your comments that "dementia slowly steals away skills as well as memories" is 100% accurate. My father's favourite composer was Antonin Dvorak. He would comment on the subleties of his compositions and the way he incorporated folk tunes into them. Our last conversation was about Dvorak's Symphony No 9. I spoke for a couple of minutes and then he said "I don't know what you are talking about". I excused myself, left the room and cried. No prizes for guessing the music at the funeral.

it's easy criticise these days but a word regarding EXCELLENT customer service. I received a damaged package from Gaugemaster/ Engine Shed that had been " delivered " by Canada Post. The more expensive items were still in the extensively damaged package but the smaller, cheaper ones were missing. After sending details to Gaugemaster they promptly put replacements in the post. This time even Canada Post couldn't sc**w up as it came by courier. Arrived 5/6 days after dispatch. Thank you very much as it means that I can continue to indulge myself in the "black arts" of wiring a layout.

A Change is Gonna Come - Sam Cooke

Shock horror that I was quite happy that City were knocked out..... but as per your post of last Saturday re comment about Bayern "Hope they don't" win the Champions League it seems perfectly acceptable for you to comment about other teams. I would say that was rather sad..... Domestic Treble....whoopeeeee!!!! I have not read the Howard Hockins book that you quote, but why would I? Read Daniel Harris book "The Promised Land" about how about a proper Treble....Champions Leage, Premier League and FA Cup was won. Used to be the biggest pitch in the league and the tallest floodlights... now it's a "Domestic Treble" and we're not here !!!!!, rather sad......

As a total technophobe I posted the above!!! What I intended to highlight is that maybe it is no longer possible for the "we can resume (in whatever form/format we may need to comply with) " is achieveable. What if there is never a vacinne developed? What if the desirable/essential exhibition attendance does never materialise and makes them uneconomic? What if the age of prospective exhibitors or attendees make the venture economically feasible? What if? What if? What if?. Do you believe that the hobby will/can survive without ANY exhibitions? That is what the rest of 2020 indicates as Manchester has now cancelled. What about 2021? Stafford ? York? Home layouts might now be the future!!!!

Administrators say Wigan have got until Aug 31st to find a new crook/owner. No pressure lads....only 17 days!! What about the Saudis.......oh, they were found to be " not fit and proper". Looks like another club destined for the Northern Premier League.
