Val Ease Central Railroad by Jeffrey MacHan
The London Festival of Railway Modelling
Prolog: Setting the scene for the 2006 Festival AdventureZ
Dear fellow Valeasians,
Today's mail included a large brown envelope from the UK. In it I
found the show flyer and reservation form for the London Festival of
Railway Modelling or LFRM. Basically the organisers want to know how
much space I need and if I want electricity, a table and a chair, all
of which comes at a price.
The interesting thing about this year's booking compared to the
process I completed last year is that LFRM has offered me a 50%
discount since I am representing Exporail. I represented Exporail
last year, too. I guess that I didn't insist enough on this fact last
time round.
LFRM is now accepting credit card payments, another improvement on the
booking process. It was a real pain getting a money order for pounds
sterling last year. This time I'll use plastic. The booking form
will be completed and be back in the mail to London ASAP.
Our travel arrangements are firming up, as well. We've decided on our
departure and return dates. We'll be flying KLM from Montréal on
March 30th. Our return flight will be on Friday, April 7th which
gives us a full week in London. Hopefully, I'll be able to visit some
Valeasians who live in the UK and I hope that I'll have the pleasure
of meeting many Z-scalers at the Festival (April 1-2 at the Alexandra
Palace).
This is going to be a very exciting trip. Hope you can drop by and
say hello.
Best regards,
Jeffrey
