There are dates still to be added too - Warley and Llanfair for example.
Obvioulsy I'm not at every day of all these events. Those in bold green are ones I take part in, the others I'm a punter or there reporting. I'm expecting to visit for at least 1 day for every event though all being well. Phew!
I'm really looking forward to the Chiltern Show this year, having seen the rather tasty list of varied layouts.
ReplyDeleteLikewise, first job I do with a new calender is fill in model railway exhibitions. Looks like you've forgotten to put in Perth at the end of June!
