Open Day 2007 (8-9th June)

Chester UK are pleased to report another successful open weekend, this being the 6^th annual.

We would like to take the opportunity to firstly thank all our visitors who came from far and wide across the British Isles. We just hope the frantic rushing around for the many bargains didn’t stop you getting a pint on the ferry on the way home or in the local!

Massive thanks go out to the Mold Model Engineering Society, to Ken and the crew who turned out with their fantastic 31/2” and 5” models. This gave our open days a brand new concept which was welcomed by our visitors and we firmly believe we are now turning our open days into a Mini Model Show so many thanks to the guys for giving up their time. Keep up to date with forthcoming events at the club on the News and Events section on our website www.chesteruk.net 

Once again, great thanks to Graham Corry and his family and friend Vincent who turned up with engines and scale replica of a Crossley respectively, plenty of steam created, thanks guys! Graham has been bringing his engines since our open days started 6 years ago now and even Jules being in the temporary wheel chair didn’t stop the ‘Corry’ family attending so many thanks and we wish Jules a quick return to full strength.

We would also like to thank Dave Woodall transport for donating their vehicle for the day with the latest technology of offloading facilities. Dave has the latest technology in rear mounted fork lift trucks on his lorry’s enabling us to offer a fantastic and highly sophisticated off loading facility to our customers at truly unbeatable prices. Dave Woodall transport specialise in deliveries to Scotland and the South west and can be contacted on 01244 660528.

Another of our main attractions was our own warehouse manager’s grass racing car. Ashley’s twin Suzuki GSXR 1000 powered Nissan Micra was surrounded for long periods of the day, until he switched on the engines when they were no doubt heard in the Nurburgring in Germany! Again if you check out the News and Events section on our website you will find information about how he gets on this season.
