THE BRISTOL MODEL ENGINEERING AND HOBBIES EXHIBITION 2006

摘要

Men of learning are sometimes heard to mutter an old adage that goes something like 'it is better to be born lucky than rich'. Well, I am not sure I agree entirely with those sentiments but lucky we certainly were after we arrived at Thornbury on 18 August 2006for the opening day of the above exhibition organised by the Bristol Society of Model and Experimental Engineers. Why lucky? Well, you see about ten minutes after arriving, the heavens opened and it rained heavily - so much so that we understand there was some concern about the movement of vehicles on the (free) parking field. We were nice and snug inside the Thornbury Leisure Centre by then and although we did not suffer the effects of the rain we certainly heard it on the roof. Had no problems getting out of the parking area either when the time came to leave so perhaps our luck was still in!
