Special Feature at the Show – Oared and Rowing Boats

The International Model Boat Show organised by Meridienne Exhibitions is this year hosting a special display of Oared and Rowing Boats for one day only on Saturday 10th November.

This special gathering of oared and rowing boats provides an ideal environment and perfect location for these unique models being an indoor exhibition with a large pool, not affected by the weather elements.

The models will have a special display table and two dedicated sailing times on the pool during the day.

If you would like to bring your models please contact Avril Spence at Meridienne Exhibitions by email avril@meridienneexhibitions.co.uk. Avril would like to know details of your model and a picture if available as well as your postal address so that she can liaise with you for the paperwork.

All models must be booked in with Meridienne prior to the event and an entry form must be completed and returned to Avril so that the models are covered for insurance purposes.
Only pre booked models are permitted to take part in this special feature - no models arriving on the day will be permitted to participate.

Marine Modelling International is pleased to support this special event and will be offering five subscriptions to the owners of those models judged as best in class.

I am going to be there for all three days (glutton for punishment) will have a couple of springers with me. Hopefully Sat/Sun we can have a football match if there are other springers there. I asked the organisers about this and they say that there will be a board besides the pool just pick a free time, or let them know in advance. Remember if you want to use your springer in the football it has to be there all three days.

Martin,

You need to check with Meridienne that you can take the boat for just the two days. All exhibiting model boat clubs have been told that all boats MUST remain there for all three days. They have a pretty tight security system for entering and removing boats as they insure our boats whilst they are there.

:) :) :)Hi Barriew

You are right about taking models to Warwick that are not with a club display.Tried this 2 years ago and they would not let me take my model in to the show. Things may have changed but it is worth a phone call to confirm.

Stan

Guy Bagley · « **Reply #24 on:** October 10, 2007, 05:45:53 pm »

my understanding is they MUST be there for all 3 days.... no one day passes or exhibits............
i suggest you call meridienne to check but i am pretty sure that its 3 days or nothing !
