Hopefully wont be too much trouble at Calais, and a slow and gentle drive to Ransart

Looking forward to the show, see some of you there.

The show was another success, Nick and Michel got their gones so all good there, lots of friends to talk to and new one's made.
The best of show was good but there was a lot better that should have won as the standard was so high!!

A new figure was discussed to be made with the Dutch model soldier society, Dutch/British theme so get your thinking caps on, WW2 Arnhem was suggested.

Back to the show and to be honest  these shows in Europe make the ones here look pretty poor, the facility's and enthusiasm we just don't seem to be able to match!! they are great fun.
No snow this year!! but no worries it has been promised for next year hahaha

Hotel was at it's best again and even had a HOG (Harley Davidson owners Group) party going on with loads weekend warriors and not a bike in sight hahaha 

A bloody good weekend though and thanks to the guy with me for looking after me ,did not get in to much trouble!!! Nick, Gerry, Trevor and Eric big thanks (-;

First photo-    Nick Gerry Larkin and Trevor Morgan

Next-   Michel and  Eric

A few numbers for flats at Ransart looking at pictures under processing of remastering, taken from several photographers:
43 flats in total were registered in the following competition categories, from approx. 30 painters (*), as following:
     2   'Junior' (2 painters)
     17 'Novice' (8 painters)
     23 'Confirmed' (10 -13 painters?) (*)
     11 'Master' (7 painters)
       3 'Creation' (2 master painters)
I will post them before Monday and add later their Name an painter name, when received from the completion team of the Fêlés later.... Thank you for your patience.
 
(*) not all I.D. stickers photographed, so some uncertainty on possible grouping..)
