Competition

Heads up for the latest competition to win tickets for the International Model Boat Show.

No doubt Colin has arranged for this to be an all expenses paid experience including 1st class travel, 5 star accommodation for the three days of the show and even laid on his own limousine with its nubile lady crew to whisk the lucky winners from the hotel direct to the executive entrance of the event.

This is our chance to join the champagne lifestyle that the media moguls enjoy

Your outrageous sense of humour!

What are you on about, anyway?……..Is it those pills again

Go to the left hand side of the page and click on the competitions link

Mind you the meds have been upgraded again so everything is a little Lucy at the moment

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

I see it now

Subscribers only though………I tried to subscribe recently, but nothing happened!…..I blame the IPad, it has a mind of it's own at times.

Given that the Warwick show is housed in a huge shed in the wilds of Warwickshire with a grass car park I think Paul must be thinking of another venue with which he is more familiar – Cannes perhaps?

However, it is an excellent model boat show and not to be missed while the steak and kidney pie is to die for, especially in view of the portions served….

The online entry for the competition is indeed for subscribers only but if you buy the October edition of Model Boats there is an entry form on page 7 which anyone can use. Except Bob of course as employees and paid contributors to Model Boats are ineligible to enter. I have to pay too but there is a senior citizens rate and a discount if you buy your tickets in advance, see here: **LINK**

The reason that we restrict some online competitions to subscribers only is that for the open competitions we get a lot of entries from 'professional' competition entrants who sell their prizes for what they can get. So, with prizes above a certain value which are model boat orientated, we prefer that they go to genuine model boaters, i.e. subscribers or those who have purchased the magazine.

What an honour it is to be barred from a ModelBoats competition for being a paid contributor!

I feel quite proud of myself……..and I mean it too!

Proud Bob

Don't worry Bob if I win you can have my tickets as its to far for me to travel, I thought that you were a member of the exclusive subscriber club.

Paul

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

Thanks for the ticket offer, Paul, but I shall be travelling in style…..In the club Charra!

Btw…….Are you in a club?

Bob

[Paul TParticipant @pault84577]

Hello Bob

No I'm not in any club.

We've paid about £550 for two tickets (we get a free stand with them…………) but I have entered just for the h… of it. If I win then I shall give away the tickets to a couple of customers or MB Forum members.
