TUMUT pics 2010

What a great day it was at Tumut. My first visit and it's a great town (bigger than I thought) with a fab timber history. The new venue is much larger with room to grow. Our hosts Rob and Brett were fantastic and looked after us all day. Thanks everyone for putting on such a top show of models. Nice to see a mixed bag of entries and not just civil vehicles, and also to learn that all monies raised go to children's cancer reserch. Caught up with some familiar faces too. Sorry we had to leave in a rush guys but it's a long drive back to Melbourne (we arrived home around 10pm). We can recommend the Tumut RSL for a good, reasonably priced nosh-up too. Anyway here are some pics from the display tables, and I've only concentrated on civil vehicles. A more detailed story will appear in the June edition of ModelArt Australia magazine. I may add more pics when I get a bit more time. Thanks also to Frank and Lea Morgan for putting up with me all the way there and back. Cheers.
Tezza.




Pic below: who remembers this - it's a dunnycan truck from the fifties/sixties era of outhouses!

Good pics. Thanks for putting them up Tezza.

Fantastic! Thanks for posting the pics. I've got to get myself down there one day.

Hey Tezza glad you could make it mate. Not sure who Greg is though, I think you mean Brett. He's the other half of the event with Letitia and me.(We dont have a Greg?) We had a great day guys over 650 models on the tables, over 75 entrants and a little over $4000 for CanAssist our chosen charity! Looking forward to next year already, great to see some new faces this year and hoping everybody's there again next year! If you need any info for your article Tezza dont hesitate to email or ring me mate.
Cheers Rob

Here's a few photos Scummy took:

Don't you remember Greg? He's the little gremlin who lives in my head and gives me bouts of amnesia now and then.

Seriously Rob, my apologies to Brett - I should refer to my notes and not rely on memory. So everyone, to make ammends it is Rob and Brett and here is a pic to prove it. Rob on left and Brett on right.



Also here is a pic of the new venue, complete with an historic pull-chain/string dunny flusher :




And on a more sincere note, here is a pic of the Alan Bell award plaque. I am told Alan was an exceptional guy and I could see the Tumut boys still miss his presence. The first two winners names on this award plaque are Paul McLennan and Bryce Michelmore. 2010 results will be posted when to hand.



Rob I will PM you.

Cheers,
Tezza

old diggers don't die - they just forget everything!

Hey Tezza your not ment to take photos of me! Lucky the camera survived! And I dont even want to know why you had a camera in the toilet??
Alan was a great guy and a brilliant modeller, miss him heaps as do all the other guys that knew him. This years winner was another member here on the forum, Kane!

Thanks for the pics! Very nice builds up a there at Tumut

Great event guy's Chris, Mat ,Kane and me had a great time. We are already planning next year. I'm going to start building something different for the event and it might make me finish my drag strip I'm building

I just have to say that it was a Fantastic Show, well done Rob, Letitia and Brett, heaps of great people, lots and lots of Fantastic models, and everyone had a smile on. Great day.

Alan

Excellent day! Like Yugster said, we'll definately be back. Already hatching plans for the NNL Cup Mustang..... Massive thanks to Rob and crew for a job exceptionally well done! Everyone was super cool, was great to meet everyone & hopefully we can drag a few more members of "Team Coit" down with us next year!

Thanks for the hospitality and putting on such a great show Rob and Brett.
I'm about to go through my photos now, I think I have photos of the winners of each category.
I'll post up soon.

Great pics - thanks for sharing. New venue looks a lot more accommodating with better light too.

Congrats to Kane on the win.

Hey Kane, your photos are great mate, got to get a copy off you mate. The trucks bobtail winner was a Peterbilt Joe Raddings built. The Kenworth pictured is Gary Walker's and it won a committees choice award!
Thanks everyone for the positive comments and a real big thanks for coming to our event and making it such a great day.
Cheers and thanks Rob

Hey guys, is someone from Team Coit submitting photos to Contest Annual? Cheers Rob

Hi All.
What a great day had by all. This being my first model show (And fourm) i've been to, thought it was great. It was excellent seeing all the truck models as all my mates build cars.
Big thanks to Rob his wife ,Brett and the rest of the team for a good day. Specail mention to the cooks, they were nice sausage sandwiches. Team Coit was already working on ideas for next year long before we even got home. Matt

Hi Rob,
Believe Chris is going to try and submitt the photos

Nice pics Kane! Some Coit will be sending the pics to Scale Auto, I'll probably need to get some entrant info to go with the pics too.

Gees theres a lot of Coits around here! Chris any info you need mate, give me a call or message and I'll fix you up mate.

Ha Ha, yep coits galore! No worries, I'll be getting pics from Kane & Guy, we'll sort out what we need then. Ta!

Kane , great pics, gave me something to look at during my lunch break. Also, big Congratultions on your winners . You gotta admit that Rob, Letitia, Brett and anyone else who assisted put on a great event. Team Coit did well also , good stuff , you can all have a bit of a holiday now ,like about 12 months,

Well it look's like I missed a great show, but by the looking at what was on display it would of been hard for the judge's to pick.

By the way thank's for all the pic's guy's they all turned out spot on,and I have set the date for next year so I will be there I am not missing the next one.

Cheers Tony.

Hey Tony,
you missed a great weekend mate. Its an NNL show so everybody judges as its effectively entrants choice in all the catagories, and yeah there was some tough decisions with at least 4 of the car catagories being decided by only 1 vote!
We had people arrive Friday and we had the last of the remaining guys over last night for coffee and they ended up leaving at around 2am!
So it's been a great weekend to catch up and talk plastic, the hobbies looking strong from here!
Cheers Rob
