Our Town Model Expo, Newcastle, 2006 Photo Gallery

  Once again the very popular "Our Town Hobby Expo" was held over the weekend of the 19th and 20th of August.  A great turn out again by members of TF72 who showed up in force.   A new venue in Newcastle this year, being the Jockey Club at the Newcastle Racecourse.   With the number of models on display (Not including Newcastle's own Jen) models had to be packed in fairly tightly.   This is always a superbly run event and a very well done to the Our Town organisers once again this year and to Allan Pew who organised our TF72 display..
