The exhibition is most definitely this weekend.  Sorting and packing is reaching fever pitch in several households as people prepare their sets for bringing.  I have moved one car load of boxes so far (mostly from under my son's bed).  I must have at least two more car loads to do.

We have cleaners in the Scout Hut today.

I will be trying to make a small mountain, to give Damo's western train a tunnel, and some raised land for artillery on the pirate display.  I still have some more painting of baseboards to do - probably Wednesday evening.  On Thursday I start assembling buildings and joining baseboards.  Friday is the big set up with Damo, Elaine and Gordon arriving.  Garry and Walter arrive on Saturday morning.  Then we open at 11am.

I sent the press release for the event to our two local radio stations. I have just had a call from BBC Radio York who are going to come over on Sunday morning at around 10am to look around and interview one or two people at 10.30am.

Apparently the Sunday morning programme has a good number of listeners and should attract more visitors.

The event has featured in the "what's on" announcements on the station.

Our house looks like a bomb site! :lol:
I don't think there is a room in our house that hasn't got a box of Playmobil in it.  I'm giving a talk on paper quilling and cardmaking tonight so I've had to leave everything to make cards and work samples :hissyfit:
However later tonight, tomorrow and Thursday I'll be back to making sure that I have everything to bring - Sandy did suggest I would be better hiring a van and just taking everything  ;D ;D
My big problem is having to make sure that I've left enough food for the family for the time I'm away as we only have the one car that I'm taking  and the nearest shop is 6 miles away!
So, it's fever pitch here too   :)

Everything is cool and calm here.  8-)

I won't start to panic until Friday night  :o

Everyone can stand behind Dawn during the photos she doesn't mind being in the front.

Not that she will hide you much.  ;D
