Anyway take care everyone. Some pictures would be nice please.
Congratulations to Phil and Steph on becoming man and wife. You kept that quiet lol didn't even get an invite. lol

I'm stuffed. all them cakes and Luton sweetys.
I have just got back from a great day at the show. Met up with the happy maried couple from Blackheath club. Stavros had to buy Kelly a boat as she seems to have got the bug, however Stav now has to let Kelly into to his sacred shed. Not good mate.

Good to meet you Mick from Redruth. Nice to see Martin even if his shirt was very mellow. Klunk is now making red jam sponge cakes useing his blood from his poorly finger & Stavros holding the poor lass up who nearly passed out when she saw Klunks blood

Oh & I put me hand in me pocket and got one or two things for my new project as well.
All in all not a bad day out. Sorry I didn't take any pics I was to busy eating cakes and talking.

Look what my wife made when i was at the show. Lovely

Quite a good show, although it seemed that most of the boats on show have been there every year. Quite quiet this morning - I got all I wanted without any queues or hassle, even found a seat in the restaurant

It was good to see one or two new traders this year.
Car park very well organised also even if it was VERY wet

Just got in......man do my feet hurt from all that walking around!
Another great day at the show..... I'll start posting photos as soon as the fire out from the sloes of my feet!

Only 1,676 photos and videos to sort through.....

Yes, doing their effective best in circumstances not of their making. Most cars seem to have got out OK but there was one being towed when I left.

Just need to clean my shoes now...

Didn't bother with the photos that much, as by 2pm Martin had got over 1000... For today only

So then chaps, a photo diary of what today was all about...

Probably someone who ignored the instructions - I noticed one or two like that.

I would just like to add that it was good to meet up with some fellow mayhemers,and put faces to names! I finally got round to visiting the cake stand,and was immediately upon introducing myself,and promising not to bite the hand that feeds me,was given a cake.It was a Mr Kipling special,and very tasty it was,but I thought it was a mince pie! What a swizz,wot no cake? definitely a better class of proper cake on the L.B.E.S. Stand! I may even organise some Cornish Cream Teas next year (Martin is paying!) and if you believe either of those last two statements,please book in to your nearest respite home.
Oh and before I get accused of hijacking the thread,I would like to say that there were also some incredible models on display,a credit to all concerned.It was also good to see the many traders and their wares.Being able to actually see what you want,and getting new ideas from the products on display,is worth the visit alone.
We have nothing like this down our way, now that Weymouth,and Shepton Mallet Shows have folded,so come on you organisers,bring something to replace it,to a super venue Westpoint Arena Exeter.I am sure that you would get the support to make it a success.

A great show. So nice to meet with you all and put faces to names. I even bought things I didn't know I wanted until I got there. (had to have them)

I thought the car park attendants did a fine job in the mire. My wife wouldn't let my shoes into the house when she saw them.

Martin, can you look out for a picture you might have of the Fairmile D on the warships stand by the main door as I forgot my camera and would love to see her again for closer inspection. Far too many details to remember.

One day left to go chaps. Well worth having a look.

Did you notice it has the Queen's head on both sides?

Steamboats Apprentice · « **Reply #123 on:** November 10, 2012, 09:38:57 pm »

Well there will either be no photo or three of us in our happy caravan workshop making 'Sea' boats (urchin and nymph). Phil's winning cos I'm taking so long doing this. Mind you he's not hindered by reading instructions or safety measures when it comes to using super glue. I recognise that I have a lot to learn!
Not sure if I'm coming in tomorrow as I heard that all the lemon curd cake has gone.
And so has Phil's 20 pound note (and Martin, I take credit for extracting that!)
