Despite the apparent proximity of Bath, it still required a fairly brisk start to get to Bugle Call, the BMSS’ annual show. So it was that Don Bartlett, Richard Clarke, Brian Rose, Dec Sibley, Pete Smith and Brian Stoddart all ploughed through the early Sunday morning mist and dead badgers to meet at the Pavilion Hall. Dave Berryman was also on parade manning the Air Cadets tables.
Setting up is now a pretty slick operation and we were soon the proud possessors of a nicely balanced stand, with no small emphasis on figures, supported by some armour and a diorama. The revamped cut-out sign, courtesy of Dec Sibley’s efforts, worked well, our stand easily being the most recognisable.
Sad to say, but the uptake by Joe Public was noticeably down this year and for most of the morning it felt like our efforts were only being viewed by other club members or even traders.
Two traders in the end did not turn up which was bad news for those looking to part with their money, but good news for those traders who were present.
The stands displayed a variety of models, some really first class, and the imagination shown in some vignettes had to be seen to be believed.
