Hi There

I have spent most of today watching the exhibition coming together.

I am very pleased with the amount and quality of the exhibits on display.

This is an exhibition not to be missed.

regards David

Agreed, a good exhibition, but looking at the time of your posting you must have sneaked off early!

Hi David, the 48th was in Jan 79 and the 59th was Dec 89/Jan 90 so by calculation it would put it around 1984. Thats as close as I can say.

Regards Nick.

P.S. 57th Jan 1988

Hi Kwil

Any chance of scanning the artice for me?

The office is closed because of snow so I can’t get them to do it.

I could also do with a list of prize winners.

Hi David,

If you have a copy of SMEE ‘s “100 years of model engineering” (their centenary book), on pages 122/123 there is a list of ME exhibitions. The 53th exhibition is listed as 1st -9th Jan 1984. the Volume of ME is listed as152. I must assume that whoever compiled this list had some idea of what’s what, but there could be a misprint.

PS I still owe you a beverage from last year, over the cloakroom issue.

Next year, can you persuade your “higher up the food chain” people to pay for the cloakroom facilities, some of us don’t like lugging our outdoor clothes about all day.

PPS just realized that, after reading John above, I shall actually have to pay to get in this year, oops.

That’s OK David, glad you liked them. There are 8 pages of colour pics but I thought the 19 scans were enough to keep you happy!!

Hey guys I could do with a spot of local input I’m thinking of coming down for the ME show. Stopping at a relative’s in West Kent and visiting the show on Sat.

Two questions.

Whats the weather really like. I’ve seen the Beebs report but we all know southerners consider 6 snowflakes to be an emergency. We have 18″ of snow and counting and we’re doing OK so are you expecting it to be any worse than that or not.

Can I park at the venue?

Hi Wolfie,
Click on the following link for a 5day forecast at Kingston the nearest
town listed on the Met Office So there should be no problems about weather, in fact a mini heat wave
is due ( heat is of course a relative term)
There is oodles of FREE parking at Sandown, but it might be a bit of a
route march if you pick the wrong time. Get there early to park near by,
but queue for a ticket, get there later and get in quicker but you have to
walk further.
If either of the DC’s will permit a whinge from me, there are no cloak room
facilities again this year! so leave heavy coats in the car. Pre MHS days of
MEX there was a charming lady at Sandown who would take care of all your
outdoor kit , for a very small fee, while you wandered the show, arh the good old days.

Hi Kwil,

Not necessary in my case, as anyone who knows me will attest.
