Right then before we start to say anything about this show please heed this

We have had meetings with Blackpool council about running the event at this location and they have stressed that they are watching not only this forum but others as well not only model forums but every forum and posting that has BLACKPOOL in it. What this means is simple they are willing to come down hard on any forum OWNER and poster if there id ANY POSTING that is DERROGATORRY to their Town....so please do not put THIS and OTHER forums in trouble by derogatory postings.

That statement has NOT come from myself or Mark...if you have anything to say that you feel strongly about then either contact myself or Mark.................Believe you me if I see ANY derogatory comments on here by any Member I will get the moderators to pull this thread and NO INFO will be available about it on here all info will then be in the mags.

Sorry to take this tact but after the last one was trashed then this is hardly surprising .

RANT OVER

THE SHOW

Looks a great new venue! So come on all you modellers,send in your entries and make this an even better show? If I can travel all the way up from Cornwall,I'm sure there are a few more from closer at hand that could attend?
Its a great show,most accomodation is very reasonable, food is plentiful and good, and there is the added attraction of the famous and excellent Blackpool Lights.
Come on guys,and ladies,give the show your support please?
Thanks,
Mick F

And where do i run my boats on? Yes, Stanley Park boating lake. Fresh water, lots of little jetties, benches to sit on next to the lake, it's a great place for your model boat and in wonderful surroundings. Can't wait for the show and perhaps the organisers could arrange some sort of display mini regatta for the model boats on the lake itself? Seems such a waste not to. Regards, Dave.

Yo Stav,
How did you get on with the Diplomatic Corp's interview? Only joking, I will be there wherever it is held but I see where you are coming from re the spying about negative comments. Mirrors are very useful things for self analysis, hope to meet you there but you will need to wear a carnation!
Cheers, Faz.
