Re: Greetings from Shifnal
So, I have to ask - did you join us here because you saw the Classic British Kits stand at Telford?

Saw the stand Paul, had been browsing as a guest for a while so maybe it gave me a little nudge to get off my backside. It was a stand full of fond childhood memories.

Re: Greetings from Shifnal
Greetings Gord. I had a very nice evening out in Shifnal a couple of years back, was visiting SMW for the first time.
Looking forward to seeing a few of your builds.

Re: Greetings from Shifnal
hi Tonto, we certainly have more than our fair share of inns in this town, not that I frequent them Had to say that as the Mrs Modellers appear to be going to frequent this place now BTW nice to hear from a fellow Northerner, just up the coast from Whitley Bay myself
