Epsom I believe.
Knutsford should have won it.

Anyway it was much appreciated by me that so many showed an interest in something which is just a little 'off the wall' and certainly not P4. I and my team had a very pleasant weekend playing trains and hopefully not sending too many of them up a line where there was no track of their gauge if you see what I mean. Thanks again everyone for making it such an enjoyable show . Brian.

(Jol, you were one of these!) I didn't realise JSW and Tim Horn were hiding behind Calcutta sidings! i did want to talk to you both about the laser cutting of base boards! I can see this as a great way forward is accuracy. A note to Will, thanks for the late offer to run Knutsford but lets just say James and Warrick (My sisters Boyfriend) were at the point of do we have too.... so unfortunately I had to head off before 4.30. I still can't figure out how to get Knutsford in the luggage!... Maybe I will have to build my own NER version.
RobM.. I look forward to seeing more of you brewery layouts and Steve Howe for the completion of the Inglenook.
Good on every one for the fabulous reception we Aussies get... though Geographically I think the Australia Area Group meeting is by far the biggest. Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra, and Sydney. No doubt more Aussies turned up on Sunday.
I had a couple of interesting comments from Dave Bradwell and Chris from Highlevel Models but you will have to wait for those! (OK EditorJames I am holding those for some words for you!)
One last thanks is to Phillip Hall who has made some offers which I might take you up on in the future! Got to get all the materials I purchased put into models!
The Committee, Terry, Flymo, et al you all deserve medals for the tireless work you put in to make exhibitions and the running of the organisation, for us members to enjoy. Well done, put your feet up with what ever drink.. you all deserve it!

David Catton wrote:Nothing to do with the organisers but the journey from home near Chesterfield down the M1 southwards on Saturday was dire. Long stretches of 50 mph restrictions with Gatso cameras measuring average speed to raise one's blood pressure and then warnings that Junction 14 was causing delays. This proved an understatement and after queuing for several miles with all the other southbound traffic and seeing stationary vehicles on the roundabout above the M1 I continued to J13 and headed for Leighton Buzzard. Before I got that far, I saw a signpost in Hockliffe indicating Aylesbury so decided to go that way and avoid Leighton Buzzard. Arriving at the A505, it was closed completely so I ended up going via Dunstable and taking an hour longer than I had estimated to reach the Stadium.
Never mind I thought, I won't try to go back the way I came but use the A413 to get to Junction 15A. I set off and at a roundabout a few miles north of Aylesbury found a police car blocking the road ahead. The very sympathetic policewoman standing beside her car told me I would have to find another route so I followed a number of small lanes, none of which provided any signposts that convinced me I was progressing towards Towcester and the M1 but I did eventually get there and back to the long stretches at 50 mph.
While I did enjoy this Scaleforum, I confess my feelings about attempting to visit future Scaleforums at Aylesbury have been greatly affected by Saturday's experience. I did consider travelling by train from Chesterfield but the need for several changes if trying to travel fairly directly or via London if choosing to make only one change means even my extended car journeys were shorter in time than the train services.
I may be the only visitor who has a grouse about getting to Aylesbury but I certainly feel there must be better locations than the current one, given our third world motorway system and the trains servicing the town.
The organising team have obviously done their best but I hope there might be an early review of the location of the Society's premier event.
