St Neots 2015

From Tony Wright on RMweb today

Today, I attended the St Neots Show, near Godmanchester. What an excellent event, and well worth visiting. My congratulations to the organising team. The range of layouts, demonstrators and traders was very good - better than at some 'more-prestigious, larger' shows in my view. With regard to the layouts, I was gratified to see there were not so many 'typical' roundy-roundies, depicting the usual BR steam/diesel transition and populated with RTR stock. The best, in my opinion, was in P4; a beautiful evocation of the Southern's 'withered arm' in the mid-'50s. It was exquisite, and ran superbly.

It was, of course St Merryn, well done the SLAG team.

Tony Wright wasn't the only one that spent a lot of time enjoying St Merryn during a very enjoyable weekend

SLAG really enjoyed the very friendly, exceptional well organised and managed St Neots show and St Merryn performed very well all weekend and received many kind and complementary comments which was nice

One O Gauge modeller spent quite a bit of time talking to me about several aspects of the layout as his wife had brought him the St Merryn book for Christmas and he had enjoyed it so much that he travelled specially to St Neots to see the layout "in the flesh" and he said he was certainly not dissapointed.

Our 'front of house' was very busy answering many questions and Jane, who kindly manned our demo stand again, sold 10 St Merryn books, thanks Jane and on Mothers Day as well!

Oh and very well done the St Merryn team.

Hi all
i enjoyed seeing the lads with St Meryn and was pleased that they had a good time. From my own point of view i enjoyed the whole thing ,both in club chairman mode and layout operator.I realise there are some obvious shortfalls with Saltfleet but it wasn't designed to be moved about . Limited funds and space really have restricted me. I hope there were some positive points that you could pick out.

It was good to meet and talk with you as well Chris. Thank you and all the St Neots club members for all their hard work in making our visit do enjoyable and fun.

I enjoyed spending time soaking up the atmosphere you have created with Saltfleet. Lots of good detail in such a small layout that I'm sure will be appreciated and enjoyed at Scaleforum in September.

I look forward to seeing you and Saltfleet again then.

Cheers

Steve
