A bright very sunny and hot day is always nice to report on and at Stockton on Tees yesterday it was just so, from an exhibitor point of view it is always good to carry your exhibits from the car the the show hall and back later in the day in the dry.
I nearly forgot that Stan Da P was not there to record show scenes but did go in later in the day for some show hall scenes
