Yeovil Model Show
Hi all,
We have been invited back, to put on a participation game, at Yeovil Model Show, on Saturday 21st March 2020. Venue - Bucklers Mead Acadamy and LED Leisure Centre. 10a.m. to 4 p.m.
I cannot make this one myself, but Flash (Dave) has stepped up to the mark, as always, and says he'll try to rustle up enough followers to make it. I've informed the organisers and forwarded the details to Dave. So watch this space and please let Dave know if you can make it.
Chau for now,
Mike
I'm available to help Flash.
Thanks Andy, any more volunteers will be welcome.

Some great shows in the far South, alas beyond the reach of my fuel tanks...
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
Yikes!
This would mean 3 weekends in a row (WMMS, then Hammerhead, then Yeovil)
Work commitments might prevent my going to Yeovil (I've already committed to both of the other shows), but it's not impossible..............
I'll update when I know more.
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
I cant make this one Dave as I'm away, but would have loved to do it. Next one hopefully
Looks like it's me and Andy, hopefully with a couple of the Entoyment crew, so I have messaged ken we will attend.

OK - Things are changing rapidly all the time in this household
So now I can also make Yeovil after all,
Good news Mike. Planning ? Dogfights all day if the last outing is anything to go by !

Cool. Suits me fine
Just over a week to go chaps - here is the latest communication from the organiser :-
"Welcome to YEOVIL MODEL SHOW
21/03/2020 at Bucklers Mead Academy and LED Leisure
Thank you for your interest in Yeovil model show I have had a fantastic response from clubs and traders, without you this would not be happening.
I am pleased to let you know your stand will be in the SMALL SPORTS HALL and you need the FRONT entrance. I may a have a shortage of chairs this show if you have a chair you can bring please do.
Wristbands can be collected on the day from the door.
Open from 7.30 am till 6.00 pm.
Some stands will not be set up in the sports hall at 7.30 due to part of the hall being use for a regular booking until closing time the evening before (There will be no one at the Academy until 7.30 to let us in) Open to public 10.00 am till 4.00 pm
Bacon/sausage butties from 8.15 am
Please be set up by 9.45 am
Please do not dismantle stand till after 4.00 pm
To help with parking it would be very helpful if after unloading those who are staying all day and don’t mind being blocked in, could park on the academy service roads to keep the car parks as clear as possible. Thank you in advance and see you on the day.
How to get to bucklers mead academy and sports centre:

These are probably the easiest routs with the lest turn offs and best roads. I hope they are of help for those without Sat Nav. "
See you there
Mike
Update guys - I'm very sorry, but given my history of respiratory problems, I have now been advised not to attend any public events for the next couple of months. Which means I have to knock Yeovil on the head. If anyone else can take it on at this late stage, please let me know asap, so I can confirm details with the organiser. Otherwise I shall have to cancel our attendance.
Really sorry about this,
Mike
Got to look to your health first Mike, hopefully someone local can take the reins...
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
We have it covered Mike... Let me know if they cancel the event !Originally Posted by mikeemagnus

Sad news but probably for the best in the current circumstances.
Aah you beat me to it Dave - The message just came through on my phone. Sad, but as you say, Andy, probably best under the circumstances.
Stay well everyone
