[Nov 27, 2016] BUGLE CALL - REVEILLE (Somerset)

[Nicholas Ball]

Good to catch up with everyone before Christmas. A very enjoyable weekend throughout.

I think congratulations to both Kev and Bob are in order, for all their hard work and tremendous organisational skills in putting this all together.

In a way I think I prefer this venue to Bath. Very light and airy, and you could appreciate the painting of the figures on the club stands.

A few tweaks maybe but nothing too major. BFFS are already booked in for next year.

I'm so pleased you could make it Gary, it was great to see you. Falstaff is going to be a little cracker

I agree about the location and venue better than Bath definately

Bookings are all noted and I am looking forward to next years ...after my feet stop throbbing ..lol

Great Bugle Call this past Sunday
It was much better venue then previous years, nice and light, loads of room inside and easy to get to location with plenty of free parking space, can't ask for more in my opinion, all thanks to Kev Peart and Bob Orr for making it happen, your efforts are very much appreciated, well done guys

Cheers
Jim

 

[Bob Orr]

Thank you for all the positive comments guys. That is what makes all the hassle worthwhile. We are looking at expanding the competitions into a room on there own as is was very tight! Entries were down a bit so we need lots more to make running the comps worthwhile as a lot of organisation and cost goes into them . You have a year to get something ready for next year's comps! Also looking at a bit of a revamp on the atrium layout. Thank you to everyone who supported the show, traders and clubs alike and special thanks to Name It for sponsoring the Best Club Display trophy. Cheers, Bob

Cheers

Well done to you both Nap and Bob, I will have a 24 hr pass from the wife for next year so I am really busy painting

Looks as though it was a cracker of a show,...excellent stuff there. Particularly like the look of the Roman bust, wearing a rough woollen cloak/hood.

Seems I missed a good event, although still awaiting the arrival of my Bap order.
Could one of the tweaks be to hold it between 17th March and 14th Oct. So that I can come please.

Remember when replying to this request Ladies & Children may be reading it.

As everyone has already said .... superb show.
Managed to put faces to names, enjoyed the many excellent displays and found plenty of traders with tempting goodies.
Somewhere amongst all that I managed to snap a few shots:

oops! posted before I'd finished loading files.

and here are a couple of Gary Higgins' latest sculpts. I'm looking forward to when I'll be able to buy the Falstaff. It's so full of character.
