Armortek

There is so much to say, and so many to thank, for this weekend, that Mark and I do not know where to start. For tonight, we just wish to say a huge thank you to everyone has who joined us this weekend and contributed to making it such a success. After refreshing rather exhausted batteries we will post again tomorrow, hopefully with photos, until then just to say we are exceedingly grateful to everyone. Thank you.

Gill and Mark

A big thank you to you both for laying on a superb weekend, two excellent days!
All the best! Steve

Seconded

Also thanks to Chris and Stephen for the tank (and owner ) herding duties on Saturday and to Allie and James for their assistance in minding the various stalls over the weekend so Gill and Mark were able to mingle with the owners and public.

Hi Both,

Thank you for letting me be part of a great weekend and for putting up with me again

The standard of models on show this year has gone up again!!!!

Now to unpack..................

Best regards

Dave

A big thank you, Mark/Gill and helpers for a superb, friendly and enjoyable two days. The time went far too quickly as always when you are having fun. I think we all appreciate the unseen work that goes into providing such a successful event, well done Armortek .

Look forward to the next meeting of the Armortek Community !

Hi everyone.

Ditto to all above comments had another great weekend with distant friends, looking forward to doing it all again.
Cheers Paul and Alison.

Thanks Gill and Mark for a great weekend. Well organized, as always.
Here is a photo during the setup for the photoshoot for the Guinness World Record of the more than 100 models at Bovington on Saturday.

Cheers

Thanks again Mark & Gill for the weekend, look forward to the next one. Some photos although I expect there will be a lot more.

Dennis & Chris.

The thanks must go to you Gill and Mark, very pleasant day at the museum.

I'd like to add my thanks for a great weekend to Gill, Mark and your 'aides' who all managed to maintain a friendly, happy and welcoming disposition throughout the weekend, and also special thanks for the generous donation for the prize draw.

Thanks to Mark, Gill and the Tank Museum for a great event. Stephen, Wurzel and Denny did a great job of marshalling. Great to meet old and new friends, John Fitzsimons being a new one. looking forward to the next one

Really sad that my friend Uwe Gerstenmayer couldn't come , he will do anything to avoid me buying him a drink

Paul.

Many thanks to Gill, Mark, Stephen and the rest of the Armortek crew for a great weekend. It was lovely to meet up with everyone again and thanks for making the both of us feel so welcome.

Best wishes,

Sarah

Well, it's been just over 24 hours since it finished, and I feel that I'm just coming down from the high .......

That was the most fantastic weekend ! When I first became an Armortek customer in January I had lots of 'welcome' messages, and I thought "what a nice bunch". And now I've met some (regrettably not all) of you in person, and you're STILL nice !* (even Denny ) But I've particularly got to thank the triumvirate of Gill, Mark and Stephen for organising a wonderful event, and for making a newbie feel most welcome.

And the models on display were simply incredible ! I was humbled when I first rolled in on Friday afternoon (just driving my Liesel around the Tank Hall was awesome enough), so I was grateful for all the appreciative comments about my build. While I greatly admired all the models there (it seems invidious to choose, but those BARV's were brilliant, as was John Davie's T34), I was personally delighted with the turnout of the Mark IV's. So thanks to Steve, John and Daniel for sharing my enthusiasm, and welcome to Dave (all the way from Oz !), Phil and Francis, who are just about to start their builds. Good luck !

And, as for the 'group photo' at the end ..... well, the only analogy I could think of was the Falaise Gap in 1944, which must have looked like a similar logjam (especially with all those Tigers !).

I better stop now, as I'm running out of superlatives and hogging all the bandwidth . Thanks for the ride, and I'll see you all next time.

All the best,

Chris

* I've even forgiven Chris Fry for making me endlessly move my tank "just another couple of inches to the left", even though he knew I was a rubbish novice driver

Yes, many thanks to mark and Gill , also to Steven white and Chris fry
A great weekend , wished I had ,had the time to go to armortek on Sunday as well
Regards David

And yes a "DITTO"…ditto…ditto" to all the comments that have gone before in praise to
Gill and Mark and to all supporters that helped to create such a superb weekend.

Looking forward to the next two years of model making and endless upgrades, etc….and of course
to Armortek next big events in 2017!

Cheers
Ian from Glasgow

ps: …and thanks again to Adrian for towing my rusty old motor-less T34 into Bovington Tank Museum for the Tankmod.

"What are Tanks for?"….but to pull one another…...
