Below are some pictures which may show a slightly different view to the ones that will possibly be posted elsewhere.
A little bit of re shuffling went on to accommodate an almost last minute cancellation, but things worked out pretty well in the end.
We managed to get Bob's Fence Houses (or rather Bob and his team did) into the allotted space without too much difficulty, although Bob and others did burn a little midnight oil in the process the night before the event.
Watch the VAG for more pictorial records of the day. I think there may even be a little video footage kicking about too. I have some different shots taken for the 2mm Newsletter so there should be plenty of variety eventually.

Thanks to all who made it such a really good day out.

It was well worth the long drive to get there, thanks to all involved.
Great layouts, useful stands, good company, and wonderful food.
Very nice, thank you for sharing the photos with the rest of us!
I am very curious about the legs/stands used in Fence Houses - they look like high tech sawhorses and I was wondering what you called them and who is the manufacturer?
Thanks for your kind comments relative to the evbent.
In relation to the legs for Fence Houses, Bob has used a standard metal adjustable trestle from Aldi. They came in at around £10 and have had small modifications done to them to fine tune the already adjustable height.
In common with such things sold by Aldi they are not on sale in store all of the time but do come up now and again, so you have to watch out for them. Other companies sell them too. David Long also uses them for Mayfield street.
Hope this helps you.
