THE INTERNATIONAL MODEL BOAT SHOW 2016
Visit the only 3 day marine modelling exhibition in the UK
Plans are well advanced for the 2016 International Model Boat Show, this annual event is widely regarded as one of the UK’s leading marine modelling exhibitions.
Organised by Meridienne Exhibitions the event will take place from Friday 11th to Sunday 13th November at the Warwickshire Exhibition Centre, near Leamington Spa.
Visitors are guaranteed a packed hall with over 600 models on the club and society displays, demonstrations plus attendance by leading specialist suppliers. Over 3,000 visitors are expected to attend the show.
To date nearly 30 clubs and societies are confirmed to be attending this unique exhibition with some of the finest marine models on show. Organisers also welcome back the Anglia Marine Model Club and the Model Power Boat Association.
The prestigious
‘Society Shield’, which is voted for by the clubs and societies themselves, will again be awarded to the best club display in the show.
This year will focus on celebrating the
300th Anniversary of the birth of waterway engineer - James Brindley. Organisers are currently creating a special display to commemorate this and also a special flotilla of narrow boats on the pool.
Also this year, the Pool Master, Steve Dean will again present “Steve’s Top 10”. This will be a special display of 10 unusual and special models selected by Steve himself from his travels around the country in 2016 – if you have a model which you feel could be a part of this “Top 10” please contact the organisers.
Visitors will have the opportunity to purchase whatever they need from the vast range of products offered by the comprehensive selection of specialist suppliers, everything from a single anchor to an entire kit.
