Thanks for the update. I intend to be there on Saturday. (I'm still trying to decide if it is practical to stay overnight Saturday/Sunday or even Friday/Saturday so I can be there at closing and/or opening when it is less busy.)

Update: I booked a hotel room for Friday night and working on taking some time off on the Friday to get to the exhibition for the last couple of hours on Friday.
Anyone attending fancy going out for a meal on Friday night?

Yes, Tan-yr-Allt and the Society stand are there for all 3 days. Do come and introduce yourself, an operating session can also be arramged.
Many thanks to the "crew" for bringing the layout to Glasgow. I really enjoyed myself. I do hope I can stay overnight next year again. It was good to be able to take time and have a good look round.
It was great to meet up with other members on Saturday too. I hope we can arrange something by way of a Scottish area group. It would be great if we could meet at other exhibitions around the country. Even better if we could get some locally produced 009 layouts into them. Given the modest size of many MRC shows in Scotland and lack of NG layouts in evidence then I don't suppose the exhibition organizers will demand anything as magnificent as what we saw at SECC. (I really must stop dallying and make something!)
On a general note, the exhibition got a decent write-up in Scotland on Sunday. It wasn't too patronizing!
Thanks Graeme, the show seemed to be a big hit.
Hoped you enjoyed the meal and banter on Friday Night. We went with a group to an Indian Rest. on Saturday Evening, sixteen or seventeen of us.
Gordon & Maggie Gravett, went on Sunday Evening to the Italian Rest., apparently the staff remembered us from Friday, we must have made an impression, or it could have been that large tip.
Hope to have something sorted for next year, over the next couple of months.
Stan.
Thanks Stan. Yes, the meal on Friday was most enjoyable too. It was great to chat.
