Thread: Comments on the Exhibition
21/12/2010 11:18:50
Despite the very obvious lack of security at the entrances on both set up and breakdown days I gather nothing was lost or stolen. As a club exhibitor we were advised that passes must be shown at car park entrances and personal badges should be worn at all times, neither aspect seemed to be taken up by the show/Sandown Park team. As far as the exhibition goes it maybe could do with some injection of 'live' models, be them from aeroplanes/helicopters, boats (bearing in mind there was a small pool but outside in the cold). A better organised area for live steam smaller gauge railways would have been a bonus, rather than have them outside almost at the front entrance, with many visitors rushing past them to gain more warmth in the main building.
Last year a small team of management and the like visited each group and asked for their opinions on the show (2009) and maybe the way forward, copious notes were taken by many of them at the time. In certain aspects the words were acted upon but in many cases they were not. A dedicated team that remains as one over several years would be a benefit here, not a team that changes so regularly the feel of the show is lost along with many notes and paperwork. One bonus at Sandown Park is the ample car parking another  the space in the hall, albeit due to a lack of supporters.

Thread: Old Boiler New Regs

Hi Philip.
 
You do not say if you are a member of any of the many clubs/societies around the country, if you are not then I would strongly advise, as a first step forward, that you do consider joining one. By being a member you should be able to gain a lot of information on the current 'new regs' as you describe them, along with their implementation. There are several different 'umbrella' Associations/Federations around the UK but they should (?) all be working to the (in)famous 'Blue Book' which sets out all of the requirements for boiler testing, However you will still not beat talking to a 'club boiler tester' in a club near you to get the most up to date and best information.
