[SEL] Re(Sel) Rough and Tumble

Wow, Thanks Jerry.
That would be a site to see.
It would never happen at Buckley now. 

All exhibitors get in free and there is always someone to check them in and part of that is confirming they have what is called a worthy exhibit.
The worst offender this year was the club member that came in with a huge trailer and had family there with with two large tents and a pickup camper. 

What that whole group was displaying was about 20 chainsaws that just sat there.
He was allowed in because he and his wife are now the members in CHARGE of the small engine area.

If it happens like that next year I will take pictures and address the topic firmly.

G'Day Alan,
"huge trailers with one little engine to display"  there are all types 
in this hobby

The best I saw was an engine man I knew at a small farm field days where 
the local engine club got some free entry tickets for the weekend to 
display engines, the club distributed the tickets to engine people from 
all clubs, first in got the tickets, this bloke got a free ticket came 
in after we were set up with engines, said G'Day to us dumped a vintage 
apple peeler over the fence and took off to see the field days. At the 
end of the day he came back with all the goodies he had bought picked up 
the peeler and off, last we saw of him for the weekend. A wasted ticket 
that could have gone to someone that wanted to go and show engines for 
the weekend.
The next year the crap hit the fan over free tickets and now none of us go.

All the best
Kerry
