Thanks very much for putting on an enjoyable event - and especially on a glorious day like today, the venue with it's outside exhibits and picnic area was a pleasant place to spend the day. Cheers.

Just to say a massive thank you to everyone who came to the show the other week. Despite a couple of issues (no-one mention catering.....) overall it was a successful weekend. A special mention must go to the Volunteers that have helped us pull off what we’ve achieved. And Locomotive Services Group for lending us a loco, Crewe Heritage Centre for hosting us, and everyone else we’ve forgotten.



I didn't manage to take many pictures so these are just a few that Cam got of our Layout Dovedale and a couple of others I managed while we we're closed!
