Nothing here other than a bit of frost!

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Ditto.  You getting there would be more important than getting to MK.

Heres the photos I took of the stand at todays show.

Modelkraft 2012

This show is normally buzzing and very busy. But due to snow fall the night before, it was rather subdued this year. A number of traders and quite a few clubs and SIG's canceled or failed to show due to the weather. This had a positive effect for us. As the display due to be next to us failed to appear. So with the show manager's agreement we annexed the vacant space. Our display grew from 3 tables on a corner to  6 tables. total display frontage was 18 feet double depth. By far the largest club/SIG display in the main hall.

Thanks to the following people.
Kit Spackman (PR-19Kit)
Trevor Williams (Howard of Effingham)
Richard Brooker
Nick Pedley (Nick P)
Mike McEvoy

And special mention for Gordon Miller (McGraig) for perseverance. He finally arrived at the venue about an hour and a half before the show closed. After being stuck in traffic on the M-1 (tail back, caused by an RTA further along the moterway).
I always hope for the best.

Well done all who made it.
I had thought of going, but it is a little bit far, and the weather here (in SW Scotland) was SO nice.
Temp +8C and periods of blue skies with nothing white to be seen except the rattle can of white primer  :rolleyes:

Yes, well done you hardy heroes.  Looks like a good display!
See you all at Cosford - hopefully sans snow.

Well done those who made, glad it was a good day. 200 mile roundtrip with snow all the way a bit too much for me, and my mate Jon who helps has to travel up from Gosport (so far away in fact it wasn't bloody snowing there!). Huddersfield in two weeks for us next, and were going up the night before so I won't miss that one!

Thanks for the messages, guys.
She's staying in hospital, took 7 hours to get her admitted (pretty normal with the NHS not having enough frontline staff) and she's stable.
More news tomorrow.

I was building and planning/thinking about my post-apocalyptic DB.9.....it'll be done for Hudders.

Glad to hear she's stable Rad, fingers crossed for her.

Snow here was about 3 inches and slushy as hell, here's hoping it doesn't freeze tonight or it'll be a skating rink in the morning.

Well done to all who actually got to MK today, and glad it was a decent show. I guess my next one will be Barnet in May; unless I'm really lucky befiore hand..
