Trevor Morgan came on the Scene some 20yrs ago when he was one of the few entering flats at Euro with the likes of Mike Taylor and Jim Woodley. He has done a lot of work for Jacques, some of which you may know.

Another great idea I heard ( thanks Christine) over the weekend was to use White Table cloths onto which we could attach photo's of all Societies and clubs members work on the front. I also like the idea of the specific logo or banner for each society to be displayed in their specific area with figures bought over for display. This is Not a competition between societies, but to show the different techniques and artwork from around the world.

Eric, I would be delighted if you could Demonstrate, thank you for Volunteering ;)

On this we are getting a lot of response, everyone we have spoken to is asking how they can help with this event. So far we have the East Balcony, 5 to 7 tables to fill, hopefully many of the flat painters from around the world will be with us, demos from some of the great painters and advice to hand on all aspects of flats. We will have an old obsolete series of figures re-introduced to the market and to top it all you'll have the friendly welcome from the members of this society and if you contribute to the display with a figure or two a new pin badge will be yours to have and keep as a reminder of a great weekend.

We're still in the planning so if you have a suggestion or idea to add to the weekend let us know and we'll knock it about and see if it can work, and remember this is your event so lets make it a good one and one to remember ;)

 Trevor Morgan, all round good guy, great painter of flat figures, mind you not seen any 30mm from him ::) and one of the judges for flat classes at Euro and other fine shows.

One of his memorable remarks was at last years Euro to Nick " if you keep at it, one day you will get a gold at a figure show!!" ;D ;D ;D

Not the greatest photos but here's some of his work

We are slowly organising this event and today Trevor Morgan has kindly agreed to do a painting demonstration for us.

We will also be issuing a special pin badge for all those paid up members that are attending.

Shortly I shall be inviting Societies and Clubs from overseas to attend if they so wish and display some of their work on our tables on one of the long balconies.
Although I know  a fair few e.mails of some of them, if you would like your society/ club to be invited, please let me know by Private message.
I am also looking for top class demonstrators to paint and give advice as needed, so if you are willing to participate, again please let me know.

In the evening we will be arranging an informal get togeather in one of the hotel bars, and subject to interest also an evening meal at a local Chinese eat-as-much-as-you-like Restaurants.

I will keep you informed as these ideas formulate.

Kind Regards      Nicholas

Euromilitaire special event

Dear All,

The committee and I are proud to announce that along with the organiser's at this years EuroMilitaire, there will be an exclusive area on one of the Balconies with regards to the promotion of Flat Figures.

Our Society will be leading this event, and shortly, I will be sending out invites to all our Foreign counterpart societies and groups.

We will have a large Table display area, and we will be asking all Societies to bring figures along to display within their own sections. We will be putting on Demonstrations with a general meet and greet area. If you are attending Euro, please do come along and help us to promote this.

There will be many fine Painters attending, who will be more than happy to pass on their immense Knowledge and tips. So if there is something you have always wanted to know, just ask.

The Organiser's have also given us extra space on the competition tables, so lets make it a good show and get as many figures on there as we can. It is not just about the best painter's getting awards, its about showing the general public that anyone can paint flats, and to show the vast diversity of figures available.

On the Saturday Evening, we will be organising an informal get togeather in one of the Hotel bars, where we can chat, laugh and just veg. out

It has been discussed about trying to arrange an evening meal, but to do this, I would need to know who's interested and how many. I will put a thread on here later where you can add your names if you so wish.

The Organiser's have been very generous in allowing  us to do this, so please come along and give it as much support as you can.

I shall keep you updated as things get organised and added.  .

Happy painting and kind regards

Nicholas
