Ellesmere Port Spring Show 2012.I know I am early in this request but does anyone know the dates? for the 2012 show, I live across the wet bit and would like to visit the venue again, the original show was a brilliant concept, a lot of people cut their teeth on the strength of it.

Several of us from the Isle of Man are thinking of coming over and would like to check hotel prices.
Cheers. Howard.

Thanks Steve, the show sounds like it is rising from the ashes, I and a number of modellers from the Island used to attend the original convention at the venue for many years.
Cheers. Howard.

Going to have to get that wall rebuilt up there....

Remember to bring your tugs to Ellesmere if you want to have a play with a 16ft HMS Daring, looking forward to it already. Dave.

Is that to keep us Southerners oot of Scotlandshire though???

I wouldnt like to say incase I upset anyone.

Number 6 · « **Reply #17 on:** November 28, 2011, 05:59:10 pm »

Been enough of that on here lately...

Anyway, I thought anyone South of Glasgow was a Softie Southerner. Look forward to seeing you all down at Ellesmere and other shows. I think more of us should come up there and make the same effort as you all do, puts us to shame sometimes...

davidsg1a · « **Reply #18 on:** November 28, 2011, 06:06:08 pm »

It would be good to see you guys up here, give the guys from ellesmere port club and balne moore club credit they make the long trip up north for our scottish tug inn every year and is always good to see them, dates for that will be out soon I think.

Also the warship weekend in Glasgow is always a good day out.

During the Spring Show at Ellesmere Port this March, there will be once again the very popular Bring and Buy.At the 2011 show there were over 30 boats that sold in the 2 day period, i think that beats Blackpool's Bring and Buy! Anything remotely to do with model boats will be accepted, including books, drawings fittings etc. Selling prices will be held at 2011s, £3.00 per item to sell, but NO percentage of the selling price fee after that, £3.00 is all you pay! So bring all your unwanted items and make yourself some money, or just come and Browse. Please get in touch with me if you are interested in selling yewgarth@ntlworld.com Thanks, Martin !
