AMRE, convenors of the annual Adelaide Model Railway Show

CONVENOR’S REPORT FOR AMRE 2010

Well another AMRE exhibition has come and gone.
This year’s event was another successful one, as crowd numbers were once again up on the previous year’s attendance.

May I, on behalf of the organising committee, pass on a huge thank you to all the participating clubs for their efforts over the past 12 months. Without the co-operation of everyone working together, this exhibition would not happen.

It was encouraging to see that the layouts exhibited this year were of a higher standard. Thank you to all those who made the effort to present some outstanding layouts for us to all enjoy.

It was also great to see a new layout displayed for the first time. Australia, The east-west corridor had its first showing at our exhibition and was well received by everyone. The public thought it was okay by voting it in the top three layouts at the exhibition! It was also good to see a few exhibitors return again.

My thanks also go to all the traders who attended this year’s event.

The Sunday night dinner was well attended and we all enjoyed the little talk that Rob Burford gave us.

The set up on Friday was well carried out with very few, if any, problems. We had exhibitors in and setting up by 10:15!! Excellent work by all those involved. My thanks to the mark out team from Adelaide club and to the security team from SARMA for getting the show started in a fantastic fashion.

My thanks also to the ladies who worked in the ticket box all weekend. Your efforts are truly appreciated.

Thank you also to our sponsors, The City of Port Adelaide/Enfield Council. We decided this year to support the Make A Wish Foundation as our charity. Our thanks to them for supporting us by providing some helpers for the weekend.

In closing, I believe that model railroading was again the winner. Sure, we had a few problems, as we always do, but over all, I think the show went very well. There have, again, been comments made about the venue at Greyhound Park. But, as I have said before, it gives us all the things we need to be able to put on the exhibition and at a fair cost to us.

As we work toward the next exhibition, we will take on board any suggestions or ideas that will improve our exhibition to a new level and work hard toward offering an even better show next year.
