Greetings All,
Well another TnT Show is done and dusted (Or should that be mopped up after Sunday's weather?) We hope that everyone got home safely and without event. I have had some feedback from Paul Middleton, John Ham and Trevor Claringbold.
Many thanks to all MAFVA members who showed their support by attending. A very big thanks to those who helped Paul M. man the HQ Stand. A big job as Spike, Heather and myself, normally on the Stand, couldn't make it this year. Nevertheless, Team MAFVA did very well over the weekend by welcoming 7 new members and taking 34 resubscriptions, changes of address and selling back issues of the Tankette.
I was good to see so many members with winning places in the competitions. I pleased to hear that 'Chief Judge' John Ham was up there again. He is going on to be the 'Guy to Beat'. Though as a Judge, perhaps he knows the wrinkles? :-) Well done to all. Remember, when going to a show, please take a model along. If there are comps, it helps fill the tables and adds to the interest on the day. If not, there is always the MAFVA or a Branch stand to support.
The heavy rain on Sunday resulted with leaks into the building. Unfortunately, this damaged one of their cameras, and perhaps more importantly one of their memory cards with most of the competition photos on it. If anyone has any they would be happy for the organisers to use - especially of the Best of Show - Trevor would be very grateful!
I have a copy of Trevor's initial Show Summery and the Competition Results. If anyone would like a copy, please contact me.
Many thanks to all who supported the show and to Trevor and his Crew for providing the event.
BTW, We are still looking out for you Jason. Drop me a line.
Kind regards to all,
Gary Williams
