      I have been following with interest the various suggestions for some sort of Forum event to bring members together to meet one another and just talk boats etc. This is a very good idea although previous experience elsewhere does suggest that initially there may be a relatively low attendance as our members live all over the country and outside the UK so travelling does present some practical difficulties. But that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t go ahead!
       
      Some of you may be aware that the Magazine has recently been taking a stand at some of the bigger events such as the recent Alexandra Palace show. The stand is staffed by Dave Brumstead who is a regular contributor. It seems to me that we could use the Model Boats Stand as a meeting point for Forum members at one or more shows. We could go on from there to maybe stage something like a rubber powered competition or display some of our models if the facilities permitted it – particularly those built from MB plans. This would all have to be worked through of course, I’m just floating the idea at the moment
       
      I have been in touch with Dave who tells me that the only confirmed dates to come this year so far are the Inagural North East MB Show, South Shields, Tyne & Wear, 28/29 March and the South West Model Engineering Model & Hobbies Show at the Royal Bath & West Showground, Shepton Mallet, Somerset, 18/19 April. There will no doubt be others and I will check out the position with Paul Freshney who is away at the moment until the end of the weekend.
       
      In the meantime it would be useful to have some idea of that members think of the idea.

          Hello Colin
           
          I think that its a super idea, sort one out in Liverpool / Manchester and I will come across to meet all of the local members.

              The all new show at Ellesmere port boat Museum in  March is a good venue  and possibly organize an MB stand  which could be a  meeting point for site members.
