ax40 Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 It's now a couple of weeks since Overlord 2011 ended, just 48 weeks and six days to go to Overlord 2012. From the posts in various areas of the net and from personal contacts we seem to have got things to your liking in 2011 so what can we do to make 2012 better? We have already started planning the show and discussing those areas that need improvement, your input would be a great help. Looking forward to your comments here or on our blog http://solentoverlord.co.uk/blog Rob (Vice Chair SOE) Quote
rosie Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 A spare set of feet and knees would be nice please :-D All joking apart, all comments are welcome. As Rob says we seem to be going along the right lines but we can always improve things, so go ahead............ Quote

fayjo56 Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Phew, the pressures off then, I've got an extra week to finish my restoration. :nut: Seriously, all the positive feedback from this year has made this my target for 2012. Quote

Paul Drake Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 I was there as joe public, as I always have been when it was at Horndean, and I don't think anything could be improved from my own perspective. Quote

Jack Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Good report guys and well done you. Looks like you have cracked it and fast becoming the souths permier military show. Your hard work has paid off. What you need to do now is to raise the game - to 'step up' and keep evolving. Do something special each year to keep it fresh and appealing. Hit the public relations button and advertise outside the military world. The hobby is guilty to just advertising to itself and is missing the wider audience. If SOE isn't on Twitter or Face Book then get that done ASAP - this is where the new generation of MV nuts are - tap into it. Cheers, Jack. Quote
flyingp Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 this years show was fantastic. next year even better. we need a bigger beer tent :nut: hopefully the patriots bikers will come along. ( patriots all ex forces & always at wooten basset) nice guys , and would like to say all the effort the SOE guys did . A BIG FANTASTIC CLAP. nice one guys & lovely ladies . Quote
simonsfotos Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 This is my first time on here for a very long time. All sorts of things have been going on - some good a lot very stressful - to keep me away, but here i am again! To start off with, I have just published my review of Overlord 2011 on my website - http://www.simonsfotos.co.uk This was my first MV event for a long time and was excellent. Some of you may also have noticed that my website disappeared (thanks Fotopic!). Hopefully the new one looks far more professional and is easy to load and use. Comments welcome. Simon Quote
