Spaces Available For Miniatures
Exhibitor Update
Hi all. We are now nearing the stage where I am pinning down the final engines for Giant Miniature Weekend at Statfold Barn (May 12th/13th) and so naturally we're at the stage where the odd cancellation does come up. At this stage I have around 5 engine spaces for miniatures free - if anyone is interested a warm welcome is assured As some background information set-up is Thursday (Midday - 6pm) and Friday (7am - 10pm) so engines are welcomed during these times. We are expecting 100 miniature engines or more in 2" - 9" scales. As I say anyone interested even at this late stage is welcome to contact me and any questions are gladly answered. Do contact me either via TT or on sam.brandist@gmail.com to register interest. If there is any engine interest, spaces go first come first served As for visitor tickets, they are going well and are available at www.statfoldbarnrailway.co.uk :) Take care all, any interest welcome Sam |

Sam,
Well done and thanks for the effort you put into organising this event. Once again a very enjoyable weekend with the added bonus that it was warmer this year and even the rain held off during the day! We should perhaps also thank Graham Lee for making such a splendid and interesting venue available to us all. Just a year to wait to do it all again! All the best, Paul. |
