Cheers Dave, appreciated. I also ended up making a purchase, though I'd promised myself that I wouldn't! Thanks again to Kevin for convincing me to enter something into the competition...and for choosing which model I should enter

Cheers Dave, some great models and a worthy winner. Apologies for not being able to attend; unfortunately I had to be at work (still there!).

A very enjoyable evening, as always. I especially enjoyed Francis's sweatshirt logo - inspired!

Not modelling related, but I thought this would be of passing interest to local club members. These are photos that I took a few days ago of the flooding at Wilfholme Landing, just to the south of the Tophill Low nature reserve. The rectangular red brick building near the centre of the first pic (looking east) is the Environment Agency pumping Station that normally moves water from the Beverley and Barmston drain into the river Hull, which is embanked and has a level that is about 8-9 feet above the surrounding farmland.

If the River Hull breaches its banks then Hull city, and especially Kingswood, will flood; to reduce this risk the EA drain pumps are switched off, which causes the drain to flood. This is the result.

My wife keeps her horse at the farm adjacent to the pumping station. Looking at the photos, you can imagine the impact that this has had on a cattle farm and full livery yard...

This will look very smart when it's finished, Chris. Now part of our Bristow team!

Just caught up and had a look at the photos. A good club display with some interesting models! I haven't been to SMW for over 20 years and was working across the weekend this year. Must try harder!

Very smart! Now I'm feeling guilty about the two part-built jeeps that gave been lurking in the cupboard for so long that they must be putting down roots...

Thanks Kev - appreciated.
