We all had an excellent weekend at Telford , bought and saw lots of stuff.
Lots of our club in attendance, apologies if I miss anyone out.
Myself, Kevin, Andy, Roger, Adrian, Neil, Trevor, Martin, Gerry, John C, Peter D, John and Janice(they come as a pair).
Renewed friendships and made some enemies, but the IPMS has moved along and I was very impressed in general with them. The club stand looked good.
Kevin won a silver award for his Focke Wulf 190, and John C. got a bronze for his Wright Cyclone engine. When you consider that there were some of the best models in Europe on display they did really well.
I have included some photos for you as well
Our club as a whole won a trophy from SAMI magazine for the best IPMS show in 2014, this was presented at the show. This is for our show at Driffield. I must congratulate all our members for the hard work at our show and praise in particular must go to Kevin for all his hard work.
Some drank and ate too much, some felt ill, some just never shut up. I am sure you may recognise some from the description there.
Well done to the club for a great weekend.

Congratulations to you all on the award for best Show 2014. Fantastic...and that after only three years....wowzayowza!!!!!
Chuffed about the trophy for our show. I know we all did our bit but without Kevin's drive and enthusiasm, it wouldn't happen so well done mate.
Haddock.
Splendid news.
Well done to everybody but mainly to Kevin and the committee. All we need now is somebody in yellow to fly the flag with IPMS !!!! sorry Dave we vote for YOU.
Kind regards to you too Martin. It may be you!
Fantastic weekend. Really enjoyed the company, even though Dave hoged the hotel tv.
Well done to all.
Andy.
Thanks Andy, at least I didn't watch Strictly!
You can't beat the shopping channel.
I could do strictly. After all, how hard can it be....
Not hard at all.
Maybe with a little training.
How is the dirigible?
Mrs Haddock is fine but thanks for asking.
Don't be like that, it was a reference to Andy actually.
Do you mean Andy has a dirigible?
I thought it was just how he stood.
Bigkev
He can do that its easy for him.
and i thought that dirigible was an adjective
It is an airship, or so I thought?
but after a night on the p$%s one could say that one is feeling very dirigible. I think that it would make a useful adjective.
I have seen Andy in a dirigible state then!
What? Inflated???
