I know Martin has had a nightmare with the web site recently, unfortunaltely Trevor the organiser of this event is still having trouble re-registaring for the forum. If you still want entry forms as an exhibitor or trader please contact Trevor, details above. Thanks Alan

Hi Alan - ask Trevor to send me an email direct and I'll sort it. :-))

Hello all.
Pleased to say we have had a great response to attend this years show from exhibitors and trade stand.
I have really appreciated how easy all of you who are coming has made the job of administring the event.
I look forward to meeting you all, and fingers crossed for good weather and general public attendance over the weekend.

The Portsmouth Model Boat Display Team will be there on Sunday, with welly boots and army tent in tow.

Hi all,
it takes more than a shower and a slight breeze to stop hunter Systems attending this show. Just think of the Royals last week-end on the Thames.
We will see you all there.

Hi. Is there any detail information about this event, like where it is. I have found Alfold (south of Guildford) on various online maps but can't see a lake. SatNav location would be nice. I am hoping I can bring a boat on Saturday. Sorry, I hear it's been going for something like 15 years but I've not been before.

Here you go Bob... GU6 8EX
Mark.
-
Thank you Mark. No lake shown on TomTom routefinder or Streetmap for that location though.
Can I please ask organisers that when events are posted on Mayhem, don't assume we've been coming for years and just need the date/s.
Is it indoor displays (like Brighton), or at a boating lake (like Wicksteed). Directions please, plus a map and SatNav location. Maybe a photo or two of past events might also encourage more to take part.
Sorry guys, but I have only been back into model making for a year and am looking for more events within driving range to visit.
-
hi bob k if you google southwater dabblers model boat club look down the left hand side you will find alfold show click on this & there is photos of this event as well as a map of the place
p.s look for alfold crossways & they did put up little signs for the model show regards ray
-
i quite agree bob , ive also returned to the hobby after a few years away , ive also moved location by just over 100 miles , so those long established events that were close by are now not so close . im hoping we can get to this show ourselves on sunday , but this will depend on disabled acsess and weather conditions ?
-
car and caravan packed just waiting for Dom and Del to get out of bed and call round so we can set off , I wonder if its a little windy for our disposable BBQ this evening {-) well weve bought it so we gonna use it come whart may !!
Got my shorts packed ... just incase {-)
Paul.

Bob
It's easier to find than the map suggests. Trust your Satnav and look for the Springbok Estate sign - it's then plain sailing!
Sadly I can't go on Sunday (so I'll miss the Portsmouth shootout!) but will be there on Saturday - it's a great show!

Hi Bob
I can assure you we do not assume anything, though the show is well established this is our first year in administrating. We have posted as much details as possible and I have asked for anyone requiring info to PM so I can respond. Location is the Springbok Estate, Dunsfold Road, Alfold Surrey GU6 8EX. I can email over directions if needed, we are located off the A281 south of Guildford and North of Horsham. It is an outside event by the lake, with onsite facilities such as toilets, showers, camping, guest rooms and bar.
We welcome your queries and look forward to welcoming you.

Hi
See previous post for directions. I cannot guarentee the weather, though I am assured it always shines for the great Mr C (Founder of the Show). Disabled access is fairly good, though the event is held on a field alongside the lake. Comfort facilities can be accessed within main building that has disabled access. All you need to do is ask for help and I can assure you it will be there.
Hope you can make it.

I am all packed and will be on my way shortly, look forward to catching up with you all.
My BBQ is packed and the beer is cold, do drop by and say hello

Thank you everyone. Should see you all tomorrow !
-
Just got back from Alfold. Wow ! That was one one excellently organised event, so glad I went. Thanks for the directions. The SatNav location got me to within half a mile then I picked up the signs to the show. Certainly the largest event I have been to in the S.E.. Warm sunshine and a warmer welcome from all, including many I had met at other recent events. I don't have a tent so could not stay over. This is a definite must for next year. Many thanks to the organisers.

we got back mid afternoon , having spent a good few hours at the event , even kevs small wheelchair coped with the terain without too many wheelspins !
-
Excellent show again this year, terrific bacon rolls from the scouts tent and the weather held out, a good place to see something unusual - :-))

Well my Wife & I took a drive down to Alfold today.
Nice show. We meet up with lots of friends and had a good chat. The Guides teas and food went down well.
-
well we had a fantastic time as usual, - we arrived friday afternoon, and left sunday evening, and all i can say is a huge thankyou to all who make this show happen, there is alot of work that goes on behind the scenes, , to the club, the show organisers, the guides and everyone else-
a fantastic show, great models, and i even got a sun tan..... and a 3rd place trophy O0 great people, friendly traders, a busy bring n buy tent, and topped off by a few beers with old friends in the bar on sat night....
well done to all and roll on alfold 2013

Hi to everyone that attended the boat show over what turned out to be a dry weekend, so it is no myth that the sun always shines on the great Mr C :}
I take this opportunity to thank you all for your support and encouragement, plus it was great to see a few new faces this year, all who I believe had a enjoyable time.
Still gathering in the last of the money raised for the Merchant Seamen's War Memorial Society, but there is going to be a profit of well over £1,000 in support of the charity aims.
Next year's show is already booked in for the 1st & 2nd June 2013, so put it in your diary and look out for information via this site (if OK) in the near future.
Regards
Trevor

Hi All

I only consider the weather up until 4.00pm on the Sunday afternoon, when the presentation was held, true after that it was quite damp :((, and we had fun Monday with the amount of surface water, but at least the lake has plenty in it.
Again thanks for coming and supporting us :-))

Still loving it! Really enjoyed meeting another bunch of boating nutters, so much fun :} Thank you all for brilliant weekend, hope to see you all again soon

Congratulations to Trevor, not only for taking over the reins (not the wet stuff {-) ) from MR C but for producing a great show. We really enjoyed ourselves meeting old friends and of course making new one's. There were yet again some very fine models there, and the judges must have had a very hard time ( I know I did when I judged there a few years ago). I would like to thank those nice Southend chaps who's support ( I say support, they keept me laughing all day saturday) while watching Steamboats Apprentice brasso my Thames Steam Launch, which must have dazzled the judges as I got a second place.. :-))
Now I wonder if she can use a duster.......
See you all next year, if not before :-)

He may be dead by then! Dusting indeed!

Dusting, Washing, Ironing, and of course making the tea!! All apprentices have to be trained PROPERLY :} :} %)

But Bob you have forgotten one IMPORTANT little job ALL apprentices must do SWEEP THE FLOOR in the workshop.
BUT one job the apprentice should NEVER do and that is upon the the pain of death is to CLEAR the workshop O0 O0 O0 {-) {-)

Well I'm back in the workshop on Saturday. Let's hope I get the chores done in time to learn something. I'll let you know how I get on with the long weight he's promised me!
-
Great show as always, excellent atmosphere, fine bacon butties ( apparently, ran out just before I got there, great burgers though! ) Some pictures of some of our models in the morning and stuff that I liked later.
