I've just had a very successful weekend taking part in the xmas art fair at the Rye Harbour sailing club. I just managed to get a pitch as a result of a last minute cancellation. The other exhibitors where showing artwork or crafts but were happy to have me there with my model of Compass Point and my books.
It was so good that I actually sold out and had to borrow extra copies that I'd supplied to the nearby Avocet Gallery, who were also taking part in the xmas fair. I had details of the next to two books, which were well received and it was great to be able to show the layout in the setting it was inspired by.
I was also able to point out the still extant Golf Links Halt, one time intermediate station on the Rye and Camber Tram, across the river. This line ran from 1895 until 1939 and the layout is partially an homage to it.
Althogether a most convivial weekend with lovely people. The visitors weren't bad either!
The view from the end of the line.
Well done Chris. Nice to see that your efforts are receiving positive attention. You'll soon be too important to talk to us lowly disciples.............
