Hi,

Just to remind anyone that can get to the Coatbridge area, that the Scottish Federation of Model Boat Clubs annual show is on this weekend Sat 12th and Sun 13th Sept at Summerlee Heritage Centre, Heritage Way, Coatbridge, ML5 1QD. Admission is free and apart from the models of all types, the Heritage Centre is well worth a visit in it's own right.

Hope to see you there.

It's a great venue.

Hi Lads

What is the best day to go ? I'll treat myself to this show as its been a long time since I was at at one.

geids · « **Reply #10 on:** September 09, 2015, 05:59:02 pm »

I have to say both days are as good. However if you are after boats for sale in the bring and buy, there will obviously be a better choice on Saturday.

What are the opening times?

geids · « **Reply #12 on:** September 09, 2015, 06:45:36 pm »

Show runs from 10am to 4pm both days

Geids

Looks like a Saturday but I'll try and not buy anything except some accessories

...Hi Guys...

This is a great " FREE" event to spend time with your family this weekend...

So if the funds are low and you are looking for something to do, Then why not

Come Along and see the models on display and the museum itself of course...

I have posted your original posting on my Facebook page, John...I hope this is OK with you...

...Best Regards...Norry...GRMBC member...

I'll be there for sure

really looking forward to it.

Saturday after that there is a model railways exhibition in Ayr. Going there too, as Squires tools are there and buy some goods tools.

Hopefully I haven't high jacked this thread.

Easily one of the best events in the Scottish modelling Calendar.
I've always had a great time on both days, sorry I'll miss it this year.
Have a great weekend lads

Just back from Summerlee, ten minutes' down the road from me - I'd have stayed longer but I have to work tonight

.

It's a great venue and there are some awesome models on display. Before going I'd rather wondered if Ian's 1/72nd scale HMS Dreadnought might be present, and so it was.

My day was made!

Many thanks for the in-depth chat, Ian. The model is a credit to you and your skills.

Andy

Seaspray · « **Reply #18 on:** September 12, 2015, 07:37:30 pm »

We had a good day out. Seen the above model and Ian good display of RNLI models.

irons01 · « **Reply #19 on:** September 12, 2015, 07:51:00 pm »

Thanks Andy, good to meet you too, always good to talk to a fellow Dreadnought nut! I know you'll get yours finished and we'll be able to sail in formation!

My first time at the show, and a good selection of boats, and a few trade stalls, and lots of great people. if you are able, it's worth a visit tomorrow (Sunday, 13th Sept) and it's free entry to the show / museum!!

Pics of the Edinburgh Model Boat Club stand below, I'll take some more general ones of the show tomorrow and post again tomorrow night

As promised, more pictures from Summerlee, held on Flickr on the below link, including some of the larger exhibits at the museum.....

My personal favourite from the show was an atmospheric Springer tug, simply packing detail, humour and interest in a small package (just my opinion of course), enjoy!

Excellent show! I went today but sorry I couldn't persuade the Dundee club to attend and exhibit.

Kim · « **Reply #22 on:** September 13, 2015, 09:50:35 pm »

To The Organisers , Clubs, Exhibitors and Staff at Summerlee Heritage Centre.

Well done and thanks for another great show!

We look forward to next year and hope more will support the show in the future.
