28th November.
So no excuse now, for not buying that item you have been promising yourself all year !

But, the cafe will be open for hot drinks when you arrive.
Come along buy those models/kits and have a great day, see you there.
Stan.
Hopefully the mobile signal will be better than at Weedon yesterday. If it isn't it might be better to have cash / cheque book rather than have one the sales staff needing to stand on one leg waving the card machine in the air whilst everyone else istrying to find the direct compass bearing to Brian's in Colehill to pray to! :laugh:
Please note, if anyone is intending to bring items to pass on to the Society Sales, they must contain a list with the items priced.
Please speak to Bill Luty or Garry Whiting.
If anyone is intending to bring items for sale on the private sales table they must also have a list which is priced up by the owner.
THese items if unsold must be taken from the stand when you are about to leave the show.

Just like to thank all the guys who contributed to another great NG Event at Rainhill.
Some of you travelled a fair distance to make the day happen.
From what I gather visitor numbers were up again, so we must be doing something right.
Signed up some new members to the Society and the Sales Stand were happy with the day.
Some who could make it, finished the day with a curry and one or two Cobra Beers.
