Hi All, hands up whos going to the show , it sounds like a good do.

Dave

[The Long BuildParticipant @thelongbuild]

Sorry, but no.

[Dave MilbournParticipant @davemilbourn48782]

Nor me. It's a decent enough show but the Norbreck is dark and filthy. Warwick is next on my calendar.

Dave M

[Kimosubby ShipyardsParticipant @kimosubbyshipyards]

Me neither. Next show (two Clubs Kimo MMBC and AMBO) is Warwick and then by a very fortunate piece of luck I'll be able to go to the Model Engineering at Epsom, and call in on Ashley.

[Kimosubby ShipyardsParticipant @kimosubbyshipyards]

Ah deliberate mistake, I did of course mean see Ashley at Kempton for the Model Engineering show.

Hello Dave

Thank you for the invite, I am sorry to say that Blackpool is a little to far for me and my tired old trooper but it would have been nice to sit down and chat with you.

All the best

Hi Cookie…

I hope to be at the venue on Saturday all being well, as it is not far from Lytham.

But do agree with Dave M …comments on the state of the venue.

Best regards,

Ian

Hi Dave

PM sent

[CookieOldParticipant @cookieold]

Ok Bob , Thats fine , Ian I i know the venue is nothing to shout about but at the end of the day its about the boats and the people you get to see and meet have a good day.

Hi Dave (Cookie)..

It must be a problem of logistics to get every stall and display under the same roof, also to a point of keeping the expenditure down.

I try to get to the show every year as the support will mean, we get to see everyone that is interested in this fascinating hobby, on our door step.

Hope you also have a great day,

Ian

[Dave MilbournParticipant @davemilbourn48782]

Just to clarify my reasons for not going to Blackpool, it's because I no longer have a trade stand there and, with Warwick less than three weeks and 60 miles away, I'd be daft to do a 250 mile round trip 'oop North' to see and buy what I need for my winter building program.
The Norbreck may be a hole but as long as the show continues to be held there then it should be supported. I just hope they've done something about the taps in the handbasins in the Gents – they're like Arkwright's till!! Those who've gone home with wet trousers will know exactly what I mean……..

[Colin BishopModerator @colinbishop34627]

Warwick for me too. I can do it on a day trip, not possible for Blackpool.

Hi All , Back from Blackpool show , Really good day met plenty of nice people but have to say the show was not a patch on Haydock with regards to to number of models on display , There was plenty of good Trade support ( spent far to much money as you do ) and of a matter of interest Comp Shop are now listing Brushless motors and drives in there 2015 range , Really good news i think , All in All a good day apart from the venue as DM as said.

Best Regards Dave

[IAN_IParticipant @ian_i]

Hi Cookie..

>>Nice Pics Ian<<

I thought it would be good for the ones that could not make it, to the show…

Don't understand the dolls house link …

[CookieOldParticipant @cookieold]

Hi Ian , Nor me i dont know whats happened there , By the way word as it the Blackpool show next year will be at a new venue but still in Blackpool.

Best Regards Dave

[IAN_IParticipant @ian_i]

Hi Cookie…

>>By the way word as it the Blackpool show next year will be at a new venue but still in Blackpool.<<

Good to hear…

I am not sure how far you travel to the show, but found the traffic a problem as it was half term week, which put a lot of traffic on the road to Blackpool.

What was normally a 20min journey took three quarters of an hour and the hotel park was full to over flowing.

I save up for the show and try to get all the things I need for my hobby.

So it is great to see the show will go on in the town., or near by.

Great news…Dave.

Best regards,

Ian
