Hello and welcome to our first show for 2024.  In this episode we are going to look at model shows without competition and have Jim Bates along to help us understand how they work as well as the benefits  to the hobby. Dave goes to war against a possum, as well as detailing his excellent modelling start to 2024. There is a HUGE mailbag to chew through....and if you want to write to us you can, onthebench64@gmail.com  The Falcon reports in......and is in fine form as usual.
