A good mix there, lovely - and good to see that Hull Model Club and The Real Model Shop are supporting us, despite their own event being a few weeks before.  Let's hope we have a good turnout at their show.

Were the RC flying and model boat clubs mentioned on the leaftlet?

Hi All,

Well now an update. The Hall plans are drawn, and all tables allocated. The Steering Group will be meeting next week to finalise the progress so far and address any issues still outstanding. (though at moment cannot think of anything significant).
Club/Sig Info will be posted out by end of next week, as will Traders.
Club members supporting the show will be briefed at next meeting on show status and their allocated tasks on the day.
Cheers,
Bigkev

PS. Latest updates on number of views for our show on Airfix Tribute Forum, 420 views, and Britmodeller 220 views.

PPS. Sorry Wizzel forgot to say we had not listed RC flying and Model Boats on leaflet as were not confirmed by time leaflet went to print.

Hi All,

Further update, all confirmations now posted out last week. Another SGM meeting held and some issues discussed.
This year we will be having our members in small teams with a designated team leader who will co-ordinate his group on the day. This we think will work better than an actual rota of duties.
A Briefing will be held at club meeting next week, and on set and show days.
we are still having Traders and clubs wanting space, though we are full.
Cheers
Kevin

isn`t it good to be wanted!! Sounds like a great show is planned.....must see if i can make it!

As you are a club member don't think you will be allowed to see the show, you will be too busy working!
Kevin does not tolerate any slackers.

[Kiteman]

....and I dont have a poblem with that.

[Bigkev]

Hi Kiteman,
If you make it over, it'll be great to see you, and there will be lots to see and yes, there is always a job to do, but everybody will have time to enjoy the show.

That Zak is making out I'm a tyrant, I'm a pussycat really.

Whip at the ready,

Hi All,
Just an update on Make and Take event at our show.
Revell have come up trumps and have donated Aircraft and Car kits for youngsters to make at the show.
I have had only positive communication from Revell all the way, and Sarah from Revell UK, and Sascha from Revell Gmbh have been most helpful, and my thanks go to the both of them.

Hi, it's me, the modeller from the bus, remember?

Sorry to have been absent for such a long time, all sorts of other stuff has been going on.  I will catch up on all the projects soon, but I just wanted to say how exciting the show sounds!  many thanks for the updates Kev, you and the steering group are doing a top notch job.  I also have a few models donated by Bernd Koch that he had left over from some event he had summat to do with - some houses for railways/dioramas by Faller and some Star Wars craft of some sort so I'll bring them along on the day to throw into the mix.

[Bigkev]

Hi Wizzel,

Thanks for your words and support. It really is a team effort this, everyone has a part to play, be it big or small.
Thanks for the offer of those items from Bernard Koch, gratefully received, and will be used.

Will Kiteman be gracing us with an appearance?

Hi All,
Just to let you know the steering group are having another meeting at showground to finalise arrangements on Thursday 20th August at 09.00am.
Also the ID and refreshment vouchers are done, these will be given to and distributed by Col Tony Wilson on the weekend. The vouchers are perforated to enable easy detachment from the ID part of the badge.

I can now confirm that we will unfortunately not be able to make it to the show. We are off to Greece (our Honeymoon trip) in October and wish to save the pennies for that trip. Maybe next year.

[Wizzel]

What do you reckon I'll be able to sell that 1/48 scale Etrich Taube for at our show?

[Kiteman]

Steady!
