Thank you Colin, that looks like a good weekend at a vey reasonable price, being resident in the midlands (or East Midlands) as they so often file us, I am "in-between" the Blackpool & the International show at Warwick, however being as you have not stated the ticket prices for Warwick in your other post, I cannot compare the difference between the 2, travel cost will be about even, so entry + parking cost is the deciding point.

Have you anymore details on the show at Warwick?

Hi Kip,

The two posts were the press releases from the respective organisers. In the Warwick one there is a link which gives access to full information about the show: **LINK**

Parking is free at Warwick.

Hope this helps.

"Sorry, darling. I know it's March and the height of summer and we're due to go to a barbie on Bondi Beach this Sunday but I have to spend £1000 on airfare to do the Coalville show this weekend. I hope you won't miss me too much………………."

Yeah – right.

Good luck anyway, Mark.

Dave you are so right , and if he does come over then you can only say HOW MUCH PROFIT IS THERE IN THESE SHOWS

[Dave MilbournParticipant @davemilbourn48782]

HOW MUCH PROFIT IS THERE IN THESE SHOWS

Dave

I've stood enough of Mark's shows as a trader to know how much profit there is for the organiser. It wouldn't pay the bus fare to the airport, believe me.
Rumour has it that Mark's main income isn't modelling-related – although it is entirely legal and respectable!
