Ooooops sorry. But considering that I wasn't actually given a list of attendees, I didn't do too bad. I'll make sure I am out of arms reach from them, they might batter me.
Now added to initial post.

There may be many others, but they haven't been discovered. (Sorry a line from the song Chemical Elements by Tom Lehrer(I think)).

Hi All,
Happy to report that our first show at the new Exo Centre, Lincolnshire Showground went very well and smoothly.
Chris w, Dave S, Neil R, Chris H, Jon S, John H, John C, Steve B(Barney), Wayne L, Steve R, and Myself all attended.
We had a great display and it got plenty of attention, with lots of varied models on show.
In the Competition, the club did well with Wayne and Steve both winning, Steve twice!, and our Jon winning the 1/72nd scale class of aircraft and also scooping the best aircraft model in the whole competition. Well done Guys.
There was plenty of banter and good humor, throughout the day, and Barney got his baptism of being to a show and behind the table. He also joined the IPMS whilst there as well. 
Overall a very pleasant day, with good mates despite the travel down being less than favourable with thick fog.
Some pictures of Steve and Jon receiving there trophies, Wayne escaped the camera!, and of two happy but dubious characters behind the table, and the table itself.

My first model show since Telford last year, a great day in a great venue.
Nice to see so many of the club in attendance.

Thanks for taking the photos Kevin, I forgot to take any.

If I could work out how to insert photos, I'd add one of the full tabletop and another of the whole display with the hall in the background...

Thanks for a great day everyone. A great new venue with more traders and Clubs I'd never seen before. Good to chat with those I knew and members of the public who showed an interest in our tables. Many photos taken of all our models.
Don't you like me Kevin? My section is the only one you didn't photograph. Grrr......

Hi Chris,
I did have your models in the first picture of you and Chris,  but I cropped the picture and 'lost' most of your kits, sorry.......

I think Jon has some of the table so hopefully yours will get the deserved coverage in those.

Looks like it was a great show, and everyone enjoyed themselves. I wonder how many purchases you all made.

Apart from a new cutting mat, Bob, nothing! An impromptu tutorial from a certain Mr Adams on using a draughtsman pen to create a scale wing rib effect has reminded me that I find scratchbuilding far more satisfying than building kits...plus some of the kit prices brought out my inner Yorkshireman!!

Ok, I bought a cutting mat, some Microset, some glue and some masking tape, I did manage to find a ship as well, USS Arizona from Hobbyboss.

Under the circumstances, they should have given you a refund!
