• BLACKPOOL MODEL BOAT SHOW: October 21, 2017 - October 22, 2017

[jarvo]

Not been to Haydock before, but, i have been to the Blackpool show many times, the tool stand if he is there this year, got to be very expensive, to much to explain to the boss. Took them in bit by bit!!!! Stavros runs a great show, even better now with the truck show as well

[Gardener]

Sounds good !

[Dave Cook]

Gardener,Get to Haydock this weekend it,s only just down the M6 from Lancashire you will love it.

Lovely to see this trader making a return to Blackpool, and a real welcome addition to the list from what friends have told me.


Hopefully more of those that didn't like the last regime and voted with their feet will also return to the show.

To get Scoonie on board took no small amount of persuasion. I hope that everyone will be "nice" to them & part with enough of their hard-earned pennies to make the journey down from the frozen north worth their while.

[captain bligh]

Hi all
Thinking of going to Blackpool this year will be my first time.Can I just ask the question is Blackpool a much bigger show than Warwick? I only ask because Blackpool for me is a long way.
Regards
Mike

[jarvo]

Hi Mike, cant answer the question but can say the new Blackpool organizers have a great set up, indoor pool with a good range of traders, and they brought in Trucks and Tanks last year, giving demos on a purpose built track, not been to Warwick, but Blackpool for you is a 400 mile trip, bring the wife for the weekend a see some of the shows and the Illuminations could make a great weekend away


Mark

[klz]

Hi Mike (Captain Bligh), if you are going to make a weekend of it then yes worth the travel up if you are only coming to the show then no save the journey for Warwick. This is only my personal opinion I enjoyed Blackpool but Warwick was the bigger and better of the 2 for me.

[Stavros]

According to the Warwickishire ex center web site the Size of Warwick  Show is 2280 sq meters and Blackpool is a total of 2700 sq meters I hope this will ans your question.

Blackpool has a main hall where the pool is situated and another Ballroom atatched to it .

If you need any more info then don't hesitate to message me or contact Iain directly off the website
