Did I mention I've been on holiday? Well, due to my incompetance with a calendar, on the Saturday of the GBMRS, I was on an epic trip from the middle of Switzerland to home.
Plan B had been to recruit a couple of people to stand in for me on the first day, but those I had in mind weren't available. So an embarassing email was sent to the organiser, promising that I'd be there on the Sunday only.
This is despite not arriving at the local station until 11:25pm. Fortunatly, a mate gave me a lift back home, in return for some chocolate, but this still meant an early start on the Sunday. Thank goodness the clocks went back.
I had prepared most of my display before leaving, and wrote a list of stuff I'd forgotten, while away. So I was waiting for the doors to open at the show, and quickly, with the aid of the building manager who found me a table, set up ready for some chat.
And chat I did. Like any good demo, hardly any modelling was achieved - two bits of a Metcalfe building were glued together.
Thanks to everyone who dropped by for a chat. Sorry if I wasn't at my absolute best, but the previous days trip was catching up with me by the end of the day.
I didn't have time to take photos of the layouts either, so here's a land speed record motorbike that was by the door we walking an out of for loading.
