Re: Telford Show - 7th and 8th November - "Scale Model World
Well, it looks like this SIG can write off Telford this year. I've heard no more from the IPMS and I'm waiting to hear if Adam has made any progress as SIG leader.

That is deeply frustrating Darryl but you and everyone else are welcome behind the CC SiG table. It does mean I am going to have to repack my transport boxes to remove the Cold War specific builds though .Dazzled wrote:Well, it looks like this SIG can write off Telford this year.

Lets just take it as a learning curve and make sure we are properly organised with backup plans for next year - onwards and upwards.

Thanks Tom. I'm annoyed about it but I have booked time off work and a hotel for 2 nights so I'm not going to let it spoil my weekend. I'm very much looking forward to seeing you and the CC display again. I'll be there on Friday afternoon with a few humble offerings for the CBK display so I'll send you a text when I get thereTomW wrote:That is deeply frustrating Darryl but you and everyone else are welcome behind the CC SiG table.

Re: Telford Show - 7th and 8th November - "Scale Model World
The unfortunate irony here is that if this had come to light a few days earlier than it did we could have had the Revell SIG tables - I only started the SIG in January and wasn't expecting to get any tables for Telford this year. However, I'd already managed to get enough support to fill the tables so couldn't extend the offer when I heard what had happened with the Cold War SIG display situation. It is a shame but I know Adam's had a pretty torrid year this year one way and another, and I should have looked into helping out a bit earlier as I am still a Cold War SIG member after all, but I let myself get too busy with the CBK SIG display this year to help Adam out properly, for which I'm truly sorry chaps.
Cheers
Al.

Darren, as frustrating as it is, you should count yourself lucky to be attending - some of us can only look on with envy from afar. and at least you have the good company of the CC and CBK SIG members. Do you have any relevant builds that could sit on the CC display tables?

You do have a good point Paul.

However, maybe next year.......

Re: Telford Show - 7th and 8th November - "Scale Model World
Hey Folks.
I think its fair to say that the Cold War SIG will be missing the SMW2015.
As a result I am handing over the reigns to our friend Daz as I am just not in the right possision to be leader anymore and need to concentrate on other aspects of life.
Things keep going from bad to worse, aswell as all the things that have happened throughout this year both my Uncle and Grandpa have both passed away within a few weeks of each other so I wont be attending this weekends show as I just can't face it at the moment.
I am really sorry to let everyone down and realize I am without a doubt the worse SIG leader imaginable.
I am truely greatful for everyone's support, you have all been true friends throughout the continueing tough periods.

I'm not a member of the SIG Adam but just wanted to offer my prayers for you and your family mate - I'm really sorry to hear of your loss.
At the end of the day it's a hobby, everyone knows you took the job on in great enthusiasm (spelling ) and great intentions - your health however is far more important, so don't sweat it.
I hope the future brings better health and fortune.
Cheers
Stuart

Our condolences to you and your family Adam from Mrs iggie and I
Don't beat yourself up for things that you have no control over, OR for putting life and family ahead of sticking bits of plastic to each other.....it's a hobby, not a necessity
Keep your chin up mate, and you'll get through

You've had a lousy time of it lately mate and you need space to regroup. I'm happy to help out and hope things get better for you real soon.
Lets arrange a meet up and you can hand me the SIG stuff. Tomorrow would be good as I'll be on my way to Telford.

I'm really sorry to hear that Mav, I'm new to the SIG but i'm pretty sure you've handled things better than most people would in the same situation.
As others have said, it's just a hobby so don't worry about it and focus on what matters.

Sincere condolences Adam. Things may look rough at the moment, but I'm sure there will be a silver lining. I don't think you was a bad SIG Leader. Sometimes real life interferes with what we want to do, and I admire all who take on the onerous responsibility of running a SIG. Best wishes mate.

My heartfelt condolences Adam. You've had a rough year that's for sure and I sincerely hope things improve for you and quickly. Bad SIG Leader? no way, you showed drive and enthusiasm for the SIG but unfortunately circumstances outside of your control stopped you in your tracks. At the end of the day it's only a hobby and at the moment it's obvious that you have bigger things to deal with. Best of luck and hopefully we will continue to see you on here and on the show scene once you have everything sorted.

Thank you so Mich for all your kind messages!
It really means a lot to me to have friends like you all, I'm glad you thought I was a good leader too.
Well the SIG has officially been handed over to Daz our new leader.
Daz mate anything you need for the SIG just ask(when things improve), you'll make a fantastic leader and I'm glad to still be a member of the SIG.
Really hope everyone has a good show this weekend, I'm hoping my next show will be Bolton In January as a birthday treat to myself.
