Turning into Newark showground for a Talisman railwayana
auction, I wondered what else was going on at the venue today? Midlands Wood
Working and Power Tools were giving demonstrations. Perhaps Garden Furniture
Sales could have sold the results of the power tools’ endeavours. The Photo
Club was on hand to snap the freshly constructed chairs and tables.
There was also a Flyball Event. I had to look it up. It’s a sport
for dogs, so now I know. www.flyball.org.uk
will gladly fill in the gaps. There quite often seems to be some background
yelping going on at Newark Showground.
The pick of the runners at the auction was an LMS framed
poster board with shaded gilt lettering, containing a glazed double royal
poster. Bryan de Grineau’s Travel LMS Speed Comfort of 1934 is a recognisable
image and a classic poster. An original LMS label on the back shows that it had
been delivered for display at Chester station.
The image might benefit from some a small amount of delicate
restorative work. The woodwork on the rear of the frame needs a little
attention, as well, but I’m not sure that Midlands Wood Working and Power Tools
should necessarily be the first port of call.
