paulob1 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I love the foxfield railway, as an ex stokey boy I go there whenever I am up to see my mum and dad...if I lived in stoke I would love to be associated with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoseman Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 One pointer Mr Commander . . .!!! Can we have better public parking supervision on the back field for us mere cannon fodder mate? Was pain last year as public just kept parking their cars in front of displays and sodding off! Some moved when asked, most just gave 'The Look' and carried on! Bit of a pain as it takes us ages setting up just to have display blocked by Muppets too lazy to park further down field. My only gripe really, apart from that bloody cider, loopey juice stuff!! You may have to lay on an escort service to get me from bar to tent, apparently I started heading down railway line!!! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commander Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 There will be no public parking in the exhibition field in 2016, all civilian vehicles will have to park in the field on the other side of the bridge and all exhibitors can park there civilian cars and vans further down the track out of sight so there is no hiding your vehicle behind your tent " this was another gripe " also we will be having escorted tours home to their tents for the old and infirm and incapable I will let you figure which you fall into Commander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoseman Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) Lol, so that's a 12 x12 camo net over the van then and all three of the others after the cider, old, infirm and defiantly incapable!! Hang on, my van wasn't behind tent, it was parked on far side away from exhibits! Can't wait mate, really enjoyed last year, good group, good laugh just bit quiet on the punters.

MB1944 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 No problem with tents and cars for your members then as none of you camped at your own show. :cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commander Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 Well seeing that I only live 400 metres away where would you rather sleep in a nice comfortable bed or in a tent and as I have said before " I might be old, I might be fat, But I aren't STUPID " Commander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB1944 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Well, when I take the time and trouble to attend a weekend event, I expect to see the organiser staying on site to ensure that the event is run properly, from a safety perspective, as he is the responsible person if things go belly up.

Well seeing as I am only one of the organisers of this event and the Foxfield Railway Committee are the ones supplying the safety officers and overnight security and when we are on sight from the Wednesday till the Tuesday sorting things out so it does not go belly up and I am sure that the organisers of the war and peace show and other shows camp out over night to be on hand or do they delegate others in their absence to keep an eye on things Commander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gas 44 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 There are none so blind as those that don't want to see. I have not attended this show, however I stayed with "Commander" in Normandy in 2014. I got the impression he was/is very proffesional, meticulas, and an all round "good egg" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

commander Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 Hi guys all are welcome to attend and we will be there beforehand for anybody wanting to come early and also a Monday departure for those who do not have a tight deadline to keep but a word of warning about the scrumpy cider and the special strong draught beers they have on sale in the bar gives me a terrible headache in the morning so you have been warned we also have some of the free commemorative china mugs we had done for 2015 left so if anyone did not pick theirs up drop me a line and I will put one to aside for you Commander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commander Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 If anyone knows of any traders who might be interested in coming along to our shindig over the weekend this is "FREE" even to traders who attend and trade all we ask is if you have a good show is to make a small donation to Foxfield Steam Railway without who we could not put this on Commander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commander Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 It has just been confirmed that on Saturday night "21st" there will be a live band playing at the Railway Station and the best part is it is "FREE" to attend the only down side is you will have to supply your own alcoholic beverage or buy it in the bar, on Saturday afternoon there will be a road run around the local area Commander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoseman Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 It's looking good mate, can't wait AGAIN. Had a great time last year (apart from bloody hangovers, that cider needs a government health warning on it!!!😵🔫). I'm putting the word out to few dealers and 're enactors.

Hoseman Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Just a note mate, find out if they have a small shunt engine there called LEYS I think. I know it was restored th e re a few years ago. It's the only one left from Leys Mallable Castings Ltd, Derby. They made uk carrier tracks during the war and didn't close until 1984!
