a car accident where the car has gone off the edge of the table and is laying crashed on the floor below, with Klicky fire crews having to rappel down to the victim.
A fun idea which I will look to incorporate.  I can think of a few other ideas that might work too.  The trick will be allowing the time to incorporate these.

It's a long trip, but I'd love to visit!

For all those that would like to visit but cannot, I'll see if I can create a virtual experience of the event with photos and videos.  These can include the preparation period too. (I'll be working from the guidance notes I wrote up from the first event and put on the forumhttp://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=7294.0.)

What day and time would you want everyone to arrive to set up? Because that week isn't my half term-I only break up on the 17th.

I too break up on the 17th, which means that it wouldn't work for me :-\

Damo and Verity

It is a shame that your half term does not begin until on 17th February.  There are clearly some regional and local variations in when half term falls in February.  I have to work around the local holidays as that is when the hall is free for the week and when I and my helpers have time to set up.

Damo, you will recall that last year we spent a good deal of time on the Friday setting up.  There is no doubting that it takes a while to set up the bigger displays, particularly for buildings that need to be assembled here.  Based on this we would need to think carefully about how you might be included.  There are a couple of alternatives:
a)   I could set up displays where we leave pre-arranged space for sets that can be added relatively simply.
b)   We agree some manageable displays where we just need to place the pieces on the display boards. 
Both of these depend on what ideas we can work up together. I am keen to involve people who want to be involved in whatever capacity we can. 

I am happy to have the hall open late on the Friday night and/or early on the Saturday morning.

We did have the old tv camera crew sets, but some updated ones (ooh with those massive snazzy cameras! :apple:) would be so cool. With the railway tracks from the goldmine sets as well for the cameras ;)

Damo :)

Damo - do you have any of the old TV cameras?  I ask becuase this could be something to develop for a display at the Knaresorough Exhibition.

I am proposing a large scale display incorporating Gordon's railway.  The attached sketch shows a 32ft long display with the green area around 6-7inches higher than the yellow area.  There would be a bridge somewhere on the narrow length in the middle.

The wide areas at each end would allow for turning loops, stations and with a town area at one end and goods yard at the other. 

The lower area could include some fields and a shore line/beach.

Comments welcome.

I'll look at how the track will fit on this, Mark.

One foot is fine for two tracks, btw.

An alternative would be an end-to-end system which would take up about 4 feet width.  I'll look at that, too.

Hazel from the Knowledge Magnet is interested in attending again.
