I was given a hot recommendation for a curry house in Warwick
I've booked our table for 18:00 Friday evening at Warwick Spice

http://www.warwickspice.co.uk/booking/

Anyone else staying on the racecourse CC site?

about 7 years ago, I was at the show, in the evening my daughter and I fancied a curry, went to Warwick, it was closed or no parking anywhere near anything open, drove to rugby with the same thing. ended up having pizza.
the next year, on my own i booked the hotel in the center of Coventry. only to find out that at 5.30 Coventry closes as well. I went to the pictures and watched skyfall, but could not find a curry house open at all. literally everything was closed!

I hope that link helps then

Warwick racecourse caravan site is excellent and £71 for four nights 2 adults
I have connected to jockey club free WiFi which is fine but imagine will be useless on a race day due to bandwidth

The showers are HOT

Town is a short walk

The exhibition centre is well past Leamington as far as from Warwick to Leamington
UBER have recently started service in this area and I expect £10 for the trip

See you tomorrow

Well the Wicksteed stand is set up and ready for the weekend, great to see everyone setting up, shame Ron Dean isn’t here this year (you will be missed Ron) but there are some proper quality models on show and some new clubs have are showing for the first time- welcome and enjoy

Like my friend Alan I haven’t made a shopping list and it’s dangerous

anything can happen!
Watch out Phil...

Sorry Martin it was not meant to be a advert it was something I found on my way back to the hotel and when I copied and paste it came out like that ,what made me notice it was that it is not in a town but way out in the country on a farm .

won't need to keep an eye open...……..just follow your nose and the aromatic aroma

My son and I went for a couple of hours today, in our opinion it was the club displays that made the show and the number of traders appears to be dwindling. Pete

That's because trade stands at Warwick are so damn expensive it's not worth traders' time going...

Was nice to meet internet aquintances face to face
Kim

John B superb tugs

Chris Scott

Chris Warrilow

RMH

Dave Weaver thanks for the taxi

Martin

Jim Pinner

Wonderful displays but I think Blackpool is cream of the crop now overall
I was only disappointed that the organisers clearly said no Motorhome parking only to find Motorhomes we’re there after all the trouble I had gone to looking at alternative transport arrangements

Taranis · « **Reply #41 on:** November 09, 2018, 08:30:08 pm »

I got senior citizen entry ticket without having to prove my age

back of the net welcome to the old farts club

I did note to my friend David that I noticed how old many of the visitors were and do they have time to build a boat

RMH · « **Reply #42 on:** November 09, 2018, 08:37:59 pm »

It's often been said that most model shows are a sea of grey hair. The more kits I buy the longer I will need to live in order to complete them, well that's my theory to longevity

Taranis · « **Reply #43 on:** November 09, 2018, 08:48:50 pm »

Let’s hope so Richard

for me it’s more grey stubble

but you need to reach 200 with your stock of boats to start

Hi it's John V going to Warwick on Saturday see you all then

Great set of pics there Martin.

Did any of you notice this on the SLEC stand?

Yes, they plan to re-pop the Lesro Atlantic 21 kit next year.

VERY INTERESTING!!!...…...price of second hand ones will certainly plummet.
