kpu121265 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Stuart has asked me to post this, he can't add images (i can, but not in the right order). He can learn how to post images, i have given up learning to spell! See attached for flyer and entry form. I think this was a great event last year and there is no reason why it can not continue to get bigger and better. 5 tanks have already confirmed attendance as far as i know (although i feel a bit of a cheat as mine is currently only a rolling shell which probably means it will end up full of smoke at the start of the battles), many other vehicles have already confirmed attendance, a battle on each day, weapons demonstrations, many living history camps, 25Llbs firing, arena vehicle displays etc etc. There are packed punches available for the Sat and Sun (FREE) for those that book in and want them and all proceeds go to a very good cause. This is one of the ways we can put our hobby to a good and practical use. As i understand, Fri 8th is available to arrive and set up, and this is another event where you genuinely feel that the organisers are pleased to have you, and do everything they can to help. If you want to come and need a tent for the night, just ask, knowing how this event now works, we will be able to get all the canvas up so there will be plenty of spare room if you would like to join The Troubleshooters - and you would be most welcome - Degsy will confirm that we do not bite, and the only scary thing is the endless supply of spam we use to try to encourage the Germans to surrender. Stuart will catch up with this thread in due course so any questions or observations, post away. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Farrant Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 There are packed punches available for the Sat and Sun (FREE) hi Ken, That is not very welcoming :-D...................unless you meant lunches, ah, now thats better. A very nice gesture to exhibitors. :thumbsup: After hearing from Rippo about the event, it sounds great, just a pity it is a bit far for me.

Smithy Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Based on what I read about the 2010 event and looking at the advertisement above I will hopefully get to the 2011 show as it looks like one not to miss! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Degsy Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 As Ken says the Troubleshooters don't bite, just the reverse, a great bunch and I can confirm that you will be made very welcome as long as you can stand a bit of true Yorkshire p..s taking:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpu121265 Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 I wish i was clever enough to have thought of packed 'punches' - it can be rough in Yorkshire but not to the extent of show organisers offering pre packed punches as a gesture....... Just goes to show, how far i still have to go with my education. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
