Hi Steve.
I'm glad you like the video, a true compliment from a fellow 'video guy'.

Hi Pete.
Glad you liked the video.
It's true that many of the club stands were manned by 'gents of a certain age', indeed one of our members, Guy Ellerby was 100 years old earlier this year but can be seen amusing some young visitors with his 'Thomas' loco and a 'lively mouse'.
The tag line of the show is 'Models That Move' and we encouraged visiting club exhibits to be as interactive as possible rather than just static displays of models, so that the visitors, and particularly youngsters, could have a 'hands on' experience and be involved in the show. Hence the 'Press the button' bit with Malcolm Beaks steam engine display, the 'Drive an Engine' feature in the corridoor, the 'Have-a-go Boats' on the pond to name a few.
All this is an attempt to start that little spark of interest and enthusiasm in model making and crafts that might mature into a meaningful hobby later in life.
Otherwise once those 'old gents' are gone, and taken their skills with them, who will take their place 🤔?
Philosophising done.....

Terrific video Rob, I think there was something for everyone who's into crafting/building, My favorite
was the 'Spithead Review', a lot of skill building in that scale, sad to notice that the majority of stands were manned by us older modelers, I hope it won't end with our generation.😞
Cheers, Pete

Dear Jeremy,
That will happen with ALL POSTS - UNLESS you go to your Profile and adjust your Notification settings, i.e. stop ALL Notifications except your own PMs. Simply uncheck the relevant boxes. it's the Notifications function which sends the e-mails. Most of us find it very useful.
A bit of banter is what makes this site live and less 'dry' than most others.
There's always the 'Delete All' button on your device!!😉
Best regards, Doug😎

AHA! Dass wäre-
Alles klar! Du hast es kapiert / geschnallt!
I've noticed some very odd things come out that translator!
Zedenek has noticed the same problem with Czech to English and German!
Can highly recommend this dictionary to at least get the verbs right. it also gives some colloquialism applications.

Tschüss, Doug

Hello hmsneuralgia
Welcome to the forum.
Even close family members wouldn't recognise me 🕵
Neither do I when I look in the mirror sometimes....and some old fella looks back at me.
PS.
St.AlbansMES do far more than just model boats as you will find out at the show.
