Again Nick, there are other members that go to shows, it is not just you and the committee that has to do everything.


If you where at a show tell us how it went  :-\   this is your society site use it or loose it.[size=78%] [/size]

Super, Nick, no hurry, still sorting the other pictures back to their ID number when known...so I shall integrate yours and select the best to sequence them for the posting. Also get some minor corrections, like reflections, dust spots on background, ... and resize to standard sizable for the gallery (avoid giant pictures!!).


I am working on MMSI in Chicago also, with pictures from Penny M.!!

Hi Michel,

I have all the photos and can tell you which are master and standard. There are not that many this year. I am awaiting a list of entrants and medal winners.

I hope to go to Sèvres, one day, to take pictures and the list of all flats name with the organizers (there, you list all ID of the flats on the tables and ask the registration sheet of each painter to read or guesss how he named his works ...  (in several shows, such list can be printed on paper in a few seconds !, when you have a contact withe the organizers, or if they respond to your requests ...).

Claudio D.A. with you it is a real pleasure, I can organize a visit in the sequence of the tables, and flat by flat and by displays .... at Euroma each year!! thank you so much.


So far I have some 185 pictures already, but many triplicates, so I am choosing the best for each flat/display, then reformat , then at the end arrange them by catégory, if identified , if not in a pot at the end as "mixed unknows", the the club tables, and/or vendors/and/or judges displays ...


(advantage by loading myself = later, I update names, awards, descriptions, when I am becoming aware in a subsequent show, but cannot change their POSITION and I have NO access to pictures posted by other membres, who have to load also with their information) ... it is an ongoing job over the years , still updating pictures of the past 6 years ....

which flats are from Larry?  I have already some 140 pictures, with many duplicates...


Also many participants do not show the ID poorly educated or explained at entrance !!!    Pictures with general view of the tables from begin to end help to locate properly.  After, without identification, the picture shall remain anonymous...
So I have some 40% of pictures I cannot even locate in their catégory !!! I am probably also missing many flats till now.


So I have some with the ID sticker visible on the front of their display, but not on the pictures!!) It is a problem as I ignore whether these are in Master or in Confirmed/Standard catégory !! (It is also a misery for the judges who have then to take these flats in their hands each time!).

Nick pictures and list if available will be of a great help.  Sometimes I can even load the pictures in the sequence where they were posted on the tables (like with pictures from Claudio D.A. or KMC !!)


I am still working on Kulmbach, Hobby Times, Sevres 2024 and Versailles 2025 for these reasons, hopig to find some identified pictures on previous or next shows in Europe... sometimes it helps.  Also when flats were painted years before !!


Slowly but surely, not nice when everything is mixed up and has no painter, nor name available... They cannot be retrieved also later by the Search function in the Menu !!!

There are photos and I am awaiting the organisers to give me the entrants details so I can tie all up with Michel. As we only returned Monday a report will be done when I have the time to finalise a decent copy.

If you was at the show say something about it, not just Nick and the guys but you the member.


How was the BFFS table at SMC, how many flat traders at the AFCFEF show, would you go again ?


Nick and the committee are not the only members that attend shows, if you where there post a little something as it might get more of us there next year.

I think maybe you should allow people to get back and get there suitcases empty. I'm sure there will be comments in due course.
