Looks like I missed a fabulous weekend yet again!
I reckon when I finally get to make Telford for the whole weekend, Bulldogs will be asking each other,,,,"whos the new bloke?"
The ironic thing is, I'm at home this weekend, the usual weekend of the show
See you all soon,

Hi guys (and Courtney)
Andy, good report of the show - IMHO one of the best I have attended (this was the fourth in a row). You only missed that scratchbuilt mouse (1:1 scale) that was next to the battered Lightning
Andy (Bigskip) should quit his nasty habit (I wonder if it is... smoking???) [joking]
I sure expect to attend it again next year... only time will tell
Oh, and btw, I never tried to pretend to be Churchill - I am several stones away (amongst many other things!)
Ship only report to be released at modelshipwrights today or tomorrow!
Cheers,
Rui

i would just like it to be known that in the group photo, some strange trick of the light makes it look like i have a bald patch!
you summed up the weekend perfectly in that report andy, it just shot by so quickly though.

as Andy's official sponsor helping him over his resin addiction it was good to see his dealer at AA refuse to sell him any more
.it was a good weekend but some how we kept getting drawn towards the AA stand it was like magic or something!!!

Great report Andy,
Glad you got some shots of the competition area as it was chock a block when I went to it so decided to give it a chance to clear a bit only to find when I did head back over my camera battery died on me and had left the spare at the hotel
Still to sort them out but will get them up soon.
As Andy has said I'm sure dad would have been proud of you guys
