Over 30 exhibitors, below, took part in the Whitianga Modellers Show – all of them experts in their particular field of exhibiting. Flo, right, was the winner of the People’s Choice exhibition. She created this model all by herself.
This represented the work and creations of 30 different exhibitors who are all experts in their field. Over 500 visitors came to explore the exhibition and enjoy all of its moving parts.
Ken Gibson, on of the exhibitors said, “It was a very good weekend with lots of people. The Tauranga model club brought two of their train layouts for us and we will probably reciprocate with our club taking some of our exhibits to their model exhibition.”
“It was wonderful to see the exhibitions from children who had made their own models. It was beautiful intricate work they had done,” says Trish Gibson who was one of the team providing hospitality for all the exhibitors over the two days.
The principal organiser, Damon Christensen of Diode Electrical was very pleased with the outcome. Damon is himself an exhibitor and a modeller. The community thanks him for his outstanding work and the organising team thanks Guthrie Bowron for the generous use of their vehicle to transport models to the Town Hall, something they have done repeatedly for this very worthwhile winter holiday exhibition.
