Had a great catch up with Old Wombat, some pix shortly,but not much you have not seen before on these hallowed bit boards.

 New venue is nice and of course traders with stuff you do not need, but have to have

Yup, had a great time! :D

Pic's from me, too.

But guess which numpty forgot to charge his camera on Saturday night, so couldn't take any more photo's on Sunday? :-[


May I also point out that friend buzzbomb walked out with, from memory, 15 trophies, including 6 Firsts & 3 Best of's.


My first ever entry into the comp. & I got a Certificate of Commendation for the FSBR ... pretty chuffed, really, & I learned a lot about competition modelling.

Miffed that I couldn't be there this year in person if only to witness Brian having to make the journey to the presentation area over a dozen times !  (Well done that man ! )  and congrats to you too Old Wombat for competing and achieving a commendation !

I look forward to seeing pics of the event.
