Hi,
   The DORTMUND INTERMODELLBAU 2012 SHOW is on April 18th -22nd if you have never been it's a must go to show for modellers as well as model boaters there are huge halls dedicated to whichever hobie your into. I have been many times both flying into Dortmund Airport or driving you probably need 2 days to really see all the exhibits so make a long stay of it.  :-))

There is a coach leaving Blackburn on the morning of the 17th but, I'm afraid that you are to late to catch it this year!

Some years I have drove to Dover got on the ferry to Dunkerque and driven to Dortmund it can be done in a day easily or I get a flight from Stansted Airport to Dortmund jump into a taxi straight to the exhibition I normally stay in an Ibis hotel (there cheap) overnight so I can stay for 2 days to see everything. There's so much to see there that you will not see here at our shows it's a must do event.  :-))
