The Stand
This year we had a great turnout with 18 club members supporting the club at the show. There were 52 models on the stand from 17 club members.
We build a diverse range of subjects and I think our display demonstrated this.
|
Our ‘Going green’ theme went down well and the stand looked great. The standard of modelling in the club is high.
Visitor engagement and feedback was very positive.
|
Thanks to everyone for their input, help setting up, getting models to the stand on time and making the weekend such fun.

...and behind the scenes...!
Let us not forget those who put in a lot of time and effort to keep the show running.
As well as running Front of House for both days, Liz (along with Steve!) was in early on Friday & Saturday morning arranging the set up and wristbands. Mick, Geoff and Steve trained up as Banksmen in order to undertake Trade vehicle marshalling both on Friday morning and Sunday evening after everyone had gone home. Tim L and Simon did their bit for the club by manning IPMS Merchandising during the day.
