Stafford

We chose to drive up through the scenic Marches, stopping at Craven Arms for lunch, then cutting across to Stafford.

As expected the layout worked well with no major issues and members of the crew were able to entertain themselves, or even totally relax, between operating sessions.

The building is a little basic – no carpeted floors – but we were given plenty of space behind the layout. The clear shadows you can see gave us a problem with lighting the layout. In the two pics you can see the dark shadow cast towards the front. We may need to consider a filter material above.

Mr Chairman reached the ripe old age of 75 on the Sunday and was presented with a card, had Happy Birthday and Penblwydd Hapus sung, and then we all celebrated in the usual manner. N.B. the bottle was full at the start of the show.
