BLACKPOOL MODEL BOAT SHOW 2016
« on: April 14, 2016, 09:43:20 pm »

The Blackpool Model Boat show will be held on October  22/23 at the Norbreck Castle Hotel in Blackpool.....

The show is being run by Iain Lewis of Component shop and Me....and hosted by the Blackpool Model Boat Club

Right then the Hotel has recently spent a considerable amount of money on the bedrooms and believe you Me having seen them they look 100% better,new Beds,New carpets and being repainted....they are in the process of renovating the whole hotel....

Yes the lighting issues of the past look like it has been resolved with new lights gone up in the hall.....WE have already pointed out the Main issue and that is of course the Gents and they have promised us faithfully to do something about it....I Have a cunning plan !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right then a little insight into this years show....YES of course it is and allways will be a boat show......and here lies the BUT......as you can imagine booking such a venue is rather expensive and as the list of traders are getting smaller and smaller with retirements we have to look elsewhere.

So our plan is to invite Radio controlled Cars,Trucks and Tanks to display their wares and also traders....we rather hope a truck club might be able to set up a roadway to show off the trucks...........And poss the cars...let alone a Tank Display.....if anyone on here knows of any clubs in this field then PLEASE let me or Iain Know....our ultimate goal is to have planes and railways as well to make it into a Boat and Model show............

All Info will be on our Website

http://www.blackpoolmodelboatshow.co.uk

This is already live and will be updated as soon as Info becomes available.......obviously we will have a traders and Club booking page .

We also Have a Fb page

https://www.facebook.com/groups/226342181059519/

Please feel free to link both the website and Fb page to your clubs as more we spread the word the better the show will be.

Adverts for the show will be in the Mags as soon as poss

Sounds great!!!  I have various reasons to go, my two son's have a boat each they can put in the pool ( if you are still do'ing it ) , my eldest is currently building a portable model railway ( with sound locomotives ) for the Blackpool Model Railway Exhibition in Sept if you need one, it's the first weekend of half term ( and i am off as well )................oh, and i live in Blackpool!!!!!! No excuse for me not to go,  regards, Dave.

Hi Dave

Congratulations to you and CS for keeping the event alive and even renewed :-))
 I hope to be there, and maybe handing some cash to Jim Worner's thinning member at the bring and buy. A visit to Carl's Linkspan stand will be top of my list though.

Dates for 2017.  I have a colleague who has to submit dates for time off 15 MONTHS in advance !
Any chance of next year's dates.
Sorry to be difficult, but the Post Office is an inflexible employer.
