Exhibition Manager's Diary
21st May: A bit of a slow starter this year with the diary! Anyway, the show is taking shape nicely with the floor plan all done and a total of 37 layouts this year from T to O gauges and a great selection of trade and related societies. We also have DCC seminars and sound project clinic to help those interested in all aspects of modern control methods. This exhibition is now the NEXT show in Scotland - I'd better sign off just now and do a bit more organising! SM
