What can I say??!!?!

Well, from Me, My Dad and Chris (Scoobydoo2 on here) - I'd just like to say thank you very much.
A fantastic and thoroughly enjoyable day (and night sail!) - The hospitality and warm welcome from everybody I met and spoke to was second to none - so I couldn't thank you enough (Mike, Chris, Steve, Gav - to name just a few!).

Hope to see you all again soon - and the beers are on me guys

Hi Neil, pity we didn't get chance to chat but will no doubt catch you again at another show. The aicraft carrier you refer to I think is Gambia Bay built by Stan Reffin on the Kirklees Model Boat club stand, if I'm not mistaken - not bad for a beginner eh?!

H.M.S. Warspite by Colin Vass - well!! ................made me feel like binning me tools! what a beauty

Can i just thank the Ellesmere Port model boat club for once again putting on what was probably the best show they've done up to now. For such a small club it is a tremendous feat and organising, it couldn't be very easy. It's one of those shows that's not made for profit but for the enjoyment of fellow modellers as can be seen by the sheer enthusiasm of Ellesmeres members. So a big round of applause for these people (come on i can see you, yes you) for kicking off the boating season in great style, I hope there's many more.

Anyone have contact info for the couple selling the little sound units upstairs in the exhibition hall.
They were doing cracking business and I couldn't get near!

Cheers.

adamD98 · « **Reply #122 on:** March 04, 2013, 10:59:14 am »

Yup - www.modelsounds.co.uk

I managed to hear a few of their sound cards and I was rather impressed ... so I bought one!

sailorboy61 · « **Reply #123 on:** March 04, 2013, 11:01:00 am »

Cheers Adam,

they did look and sound good, and like the flexibility of a card.
