Well that's it for another year,i'd like to thank all the exhibitors and traders that attended the show.

 

Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves especially the Saturday night do,and also the guided tour of the Tallentire one way system thanks to "where's my glasses" Eric.

 

Lots of good feed back about the quality of the layouts and variety of the trade stands.

Good show folks.

 

Especially enjoyed Tottington and I must have spent the best part of an hour talking to Alan at the Derby Lightweight PG stand!

I think they may have two new members!

Thanks Ray. All being well I'll be over again next year. I'd keep the burger van guy you had this year too, their Cumberland sausage was top class. Kepier Colliery was nice too - a hint of Lowca about it!

 

Dave.
