BSMEE Thornbury Exhibition

Great show, lots to see and buy spent a few enjoyable hours there today.

"Met up with Coalburner at 2pm and had a nice chat."

I've obviously got a stunt double as I was ensconsed in my workship all weekend, so whoever you met it most certainly wasn't the real CoalBurner!

Sorry about that. I wonder who it was. A brief mention of names as we met and I must have latched onto a name that rang a bell. Your 'double' is a nice friendly bloke from Lancashire and I've probably got that wrong too, but definately up north.

Went to show yesterday (Sunday) I have been to a couple of shows at Sandown and somehow expected Bristol to be a small show at the local leisure centre. Have to say was very impressed with show and the venue, in a nice setting as well.

Good to see plenty of children there as well, the tireless efforts of the man on the Meccano stand with his exploding battleship seemed to be going down very well with the kids. If engineering rubs off on just a few of them it will be good for the future of UK plc.

An added bonus, it was only 50 minutes from where I live in Somerset rather than 3 hours to Sandown.

Just about sorted everything after a very enjoyable 3 days at the exhibition. I want to give the warmest congratulations to BSMEE for the show, the organisation, the profesionalism of the voluteer stewards etc., exhibits and footfall was excellent. Big highlight for me was Mr Don Allen's face when we presented him with the CuP Alloys award for best model in show! Well done BSMEE, roll on next year!
