LONDON MODEL ENGINEERING EXHIBITION
« on: January 19, 2013, 10:11:50 am »
Well if you have nothing to do this weekend as the lake is probably frozen why not take a train or drive to Alexandra Palace, North London for the Model Engineers Show 2013.

I'm gutted!

It is my usual practice to drive to Barnet, park the car outside our eldest son's house and go to the exhibition by bus (door to door and free with bus pass). This year the Management joined me. We got as far as Barnet and managed to park the car (with the help of several shovelfuls of salt from a nearby bin) and popped in to our son and daughter-in-law's for a coffee.

Although we would have made it there, the forecast made it very dubious for the return journey, so we decided discretion was the better part of valour and drove home. Half a tank of fuel and £16 worth of tickets wasted!

A great pity because an ex work colleague of the Management is usually there (not to mention Steamboat Phil and Steph!) and it's the one show which abounds with traders to suit all needs - I had a long shopping list!

Yep I went, I saw Phil there on his stand but as usual he was chatting  {-) the roads were clear of snow the car parks were free with plenty of parking so anybody that thought about going missed out. The aisles were wide so plenty could be seen with no rucksacs in your face there was an absolutely outstanding battleship on display built from scratch that had won Gold awards at other shows.
pictures to follow.

Well chaps, I thought it was a good show, a little down on numbers on the Friday, missed our little chat Mike, did not much time to take pics, was having a quick chat with a few chaps (and Bill 203 got me a tea no less) A lot of boats there, another couple of years and we will take over...not sure about AT boat yards new straight runner though.........
Good bits..... AT boat yard....a constant supply of cake, and to Debs-----my darling the best bread pudding ever (oh how muck I had)
Chatting with fellow model boat clubs and how many more will turn up for Mayhem this year
George (who hates being called Georgia, Georgina etc) who is a great sales person, she sold me some hand made cards, pinched my club badge, and went on to try and sell my entire stand (when seen at Mayhem this year...avoid....she is so good she will sell you back your own boat)
Oh and Stephs Boatnow has its undercoat on, nearly ready for the water
BAD Bits.... Bloomin cold on the Friday due to the heating  having a small breakdown, still fixed for the rest of the wekend, and even the snow didn't stop the visititors arriving Sunday.
Overall a good show but lacking a little of the traders.
Sorry to all to tried to have a chat....I must have had a sore throat and was being a little quiet........
yeah really  {-) {-) {-)
