Since I haven't found any photo reports on Expong here, I thought I'd show something from my own album uploaded yesterday after I'd come to my senses following an extended weekend tour. I may add some video stills from the extensive video I made - probably I will have done some editing by the weekend, not before!
Here is a small photo selection. The quarry at Pentewan:

Nice set of photos, Tim, and views quite different from the ones I made.
By the way, there are three at the bottom of the album showing Loch Ewe on Roger and Stan's Gairloch & Wester Ross, taken in 2008. I guess these have slipped in by chance.
Excellent set of photos, Ted. Well done and thanks for sharing!

Ted, The album is called "EXPONG" and not a particular year, and it looks like I did not post any pics between 2008 and now!
It seems you have some catching up to do then, Tim!
By now I have added a number of video captures to my Expong album. They were made from a HD video and are suprisingly well focused, though there is some background blurring due to movement. I'll leave you to judge for yourself!
First, here is 009 News editor Tom Dauben at the Narrow Planet stand, when we confronted him with a request to copy these, full size, by etching 15mm brass. He had to decline as the cost would be prohibitive!

Award time, with Richard Glover's Pagham being awarded both the David Lloyd and Reinier Hendriksen trophies, by Andrew Burnham and Chris O'Donoghue (well done, Richard) and Stuart Brewer being awarded an equally well-deserved first place in the Dave Brewer Challenge. Stuart made a radio-controlled 7mm scale 'critter', which incidentally featured a model of Dave in the driver's seat, and it came out top score in all judging criteria. I hope Mick may produce a photo of it since I forgot about that!

Glad you like it, Robert. At least I hope you had fun watching the photos and video!
I'm on the other side of the pond, so I appreciate any photos or videos of events, but Ted, these are nicely done.
