Hi Brian
This is a place to be !
If you want to find the unfindable, go there, especially for model kits
A nice competition too
But not many flats and very crowded
Maybe shall I go

It is with regret that I have to report some disturbing news to the society.
It has been brought to my attention, that there has been a break out from the local Asylum, and the 3 Amigo's from the Village Idiot's Club, have as they say in Technical terms ----Legged It.
It is understood that they are now planning to get to Belguim ( should they be able to find it!!!) where they can run amok once again in the Bar.
In a further outbreak, it is also noted that they may be joined by a Frenchman called Eric ( or ET for short) who in local TV bullitons is being asked to phone Home!!!
An alert has been distributed by Belguim Police that any one seeing 3 Nuts and a Fruitcake, should call them immediately
We have also learnt that Police did raid a property close to the Airport when it was reported by a local that he did indeed have these items with him. Police have now charged a Local Baker for wasting Police Time.
Should you be going to this show, please be on the look out for Brian, Chris, and Nick, who are quite approachable, especially if Beer is somewhere within the vacinity.
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

You have to "man-up." I'm in the Snow-Belt of Ohio. We had a 70 car pile-up on one main road last night and a 60 car pile-up on another. I had to take my father -in-law to the emergency room last night and it was a white-out and you you weren't sure if your were driving on the road or the curb. Fortunately, we have a lot of drainage ditches here so you know when you have driven into one of them ;) Cars were stopping dead in the road and just sitting there in fear of going on. Lucky me, I drive a 4X4 Jeep and threw it into gear and drove right by them as my wife shrieked in terror ;D
-
Larry you haven't seen how drives :o ::) ;)
-
As I am now longer able to attend, :'( I wish our 2x representatives Brian and Chris a very merry and jolly time.
Spread the word my Brothers " The BFFS is the place for you " ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

We're back FAB

Well we got there and back. As for the show it was a very good show Euro could learn a lot for then FREE entry only 2 euros each model entered in the competition.
Master,Confirmed, Novice and Juniors. These were in each class. All the entries in the novice and juniors got something to encourage then to do better.
The stranded of the work in all classes was very high in a lot of cases higher than Euro. Not a lot of flats but what there was were of a very very high level.
There were quite a lot of entries in the junior classes that great to see don't see that many over here. The venue was slit into to the trade stands were in a very large greenhouse and there were a lot of trades. The club stands and competition room were in a hall on 3 levels.
We found the Belgium people very friendly and helpful. where we stayed had a bar well Brian and I took full advantage of the there hospitality till 2am Sunday morning. It was have you tried this beer have you tried that beer well you can't refuse the offer of Belgium beer. Brian was a little bit worse for wear on Sunday morning.
Next year we hope to have a BFFS stand there.
On one note BRAIN is what Brian is to the society trying to get people to go to shows to promote the BFFS so lets get behind Brian the brain and support him by trying to get to shows at lest in the UK if you cant make them in Europe.
Photos to follow.
