Post by: Steve Dean on May 12, 2016, 05:17:04 pm: Re this years International Model Boat Show:

1. Following the success of having 10 non-club invited exhibitors at last years show with a diverse display of models the intention is do it again for 2016 Show. Therefore if you have a model and would like to attend as an individual exhibitor it's time to get in touch. What are we looking for? Well, it doesn't have to be of 'Gold Medal' standard however it does need to be something that would cause interest. Either because it's based on an unusual prototype or is something rarely modelled. Even something completely wacky stands a chance of being selected. To be considered either contact Meridienne Exhibitions on 01926 614101 (www.modelboatshow.co.uk) or contact me via this forum. If you know of anyone who may be interested that doesn't tend to frequent the Forum then please let them know.

2. Some of you may be aware that this year marks the anniversary of James Brindley the famous canal engineer ...... with this in mind we are planning to have a mass sailing of model narrow boats. Looking round the Club displays there are always a good number of narrow boats throughout the show, therefore all skippers are invited to join in. If you want to be part of the fun then spread the word and if possible let me know via the forum of your interest in participating.

Thanks
Steve Dean. (Pool Mast & Commentator)

Also this year, the Pool Master, Steve Dean will again present “Steve’s Top 10”. This will be a special display of 10 unusual and special models selected by Steve himself from his travels around the country in 2016 – if you have a model which you feel could be a part of this “Top 10” please contact the organisers.

Visitors will have the opportunity to purchase whatever they need from the vast range of products offered by the comprehensive selection of specialist suppliers, everything from a single anchor to an entire kit.

Title: Re: International Model Boat Show 2016
Post by: Steve Dean on June 15, 2016, 07:00:02 pm: Hi Skippers,
As you can see Martin has posted the Press Release issued by Meridienne Exhibitions that has gone out to the modelling media, therefore if you're giving thought to entering as an individual entry then do so quickly before all the places are taken. Either PM me via the forum or call me on 01493 369824.
Remember your entry does not have to be of 'Gold Medal' standard, what I'm looking for (as per last year) is a real eclectic mix. So if you've got something unusual, interesting, stunning, amusing, whacky, big or small, then it could be just what we are looking for. Also I would really like a young exhibitor as part of the display ..... so come on Dads, get your son or daughter in the limelight.

Also, don't forget to bring your narrow boat models to take part in the pool demonstration as part of our James Brindley celebration.

Title: Re: International Model Boat Show 2016
Post by: Steve Dean on July 22, 2016, 08:26:23 pm: Hi Everyone,
Re my last post on the Forum ........ if you are considering entering as an individual exhibitor then don't leave it too much longer to contact me. The press release posted above will be in some of the August magazines and that will no doubt cause the phones to ring. So get in quick before all the 10 places are gone. We already have an interesting mix so the display is starting to come together.

If you are interested just PM me via the forum.

Post by: Steve Dean on August 31, 2016, 11:47:45 am: The International Model Boat Show is cruising over the horizon ....... November looms large from the bridge.
THEREFORE if your are pondering on entering as an individual entry then you need to take action NOW.
Sadly one of our exhibitors has had to pull out due to family reasons and as he was bringing multiple models so we now have a big chunk of space that could occupied by YOU.
If you want to join in the fun either send me a personal message via the Forum or call 01493 369824.

Final Countdown to the International Model Boat Show – Ready To Set Sail

It’s the final countdown to the launch of the 2016 International Model Boat Show which will take place from Friday 11th to Sunday 13th November at the Warwickshire Exhibition Centre.

Over 3,000 visitors are expected to attend the show and enjoy over 600 models on the club and society displays. Over 20 of the leading specialist suppliers will also be present.

Organisers are again seeking individual exhibitors who are not part of a club or society display but who have a marvellous model to show. All models which form part of “Steve’s Top 10” are amazing models in either detail and/or size. There are just a few spaces left so if you have a model of interest please contact the organisers at info@meridienneexhibitions.co.uk

Exhibition Manager, Avril Spence said “We are looking forward to welcoming our visitors to one of the UK’s leading marine modelling exhibitions the show this year. Along with all the normal attractions and suppliers for visitors to enjoy and meet the opportunity to see the “Top 10” is one that should not be missed!”

As always the large indoor boating pool will be in full use as all the club members sail their models for the visitor’s enjoyment. Some clubs demonstrate as a group such as the RNLI with commentary which visitors find is really interactive and enjoyable. The Surface Warship Association will again lead a poignant sailing tribute at the poolside during the two minutes silence on Remembrance Day.

For younger visitors there will be ‘children’s sailing’ on the pool for their own experience of remote control boating.

As the ONLY 3 day marine modelling exhibition dedicated to all aspects of marine modelling this is an event not to be missed – book your tickets NOW to take advantage of the specially discounted rates which are only available until 31st October (see www.modelboatshow.co.uk).

Wish you all the best and hop you will have Poppy cans on all stalls and at the entrance in to remember all that have and are serving.

Post by: carlmt on September 06, 2016, 10:20:08 pm: Rest assured Paul - This show is held at the same time every year (Remembrance weekend) and all the usual courtesies are respected.....including the silence at 11am on the Sunday.
Title: Re: International Model Boat Show 2016
Post by: Steve Dean on September 24, 2016, 06:23:49 pm: Time is ticking by and I have enough space to squeeze in a couple more non-club entries. So if you have something interesting then get in touch asap.
You can PM via this forum, call me on 01493 369824 or call Meridienne Exhibitions on 01926 614101 ......... so stop thinking about and take action NOW.
In case you are still unsure what type of model will be accepted, then it's really dead simple ..... it doesn't have to be of Gold medal standard, it just needs to be unusual, interesting, a rarely seen type of model, or something really whacky. We try and achieve an eclectic mix so it can be huge or teeny weeny or something that just makes people smile. Maybe it's your very first model and you would love to show it to fellow modellers and exhibition visitors. How about something built by a younger person ....... we need to encourage young people into the hobby .... let's face it some of us are now suffering from very advanced youth !!!!!
Don't delay get in contact. O0

Post by: Rottweiler on October 03, 2016, 10:04:23 pm: I attended last year with my two Cunard Liners as one of Steve Deans top 10.
I dont fully understand the rules of the show,I AM in a club,but would be the only representative from the club exhibiting.
Would I be permitted to enter myself with my exhibit as the sole member of my club?
I am not interested in entering for best layout or best display,just to show my models,of which I am very proud,and get very little opportunities to be seen.
Thanks,
Mick

I can hear the sound of models being polished, stand materials being ironed and batteries being charged ....... in a week and two days the big build up will be in full swing. Remember the Manx Club can't win the Best Club Stand trophy this year ..... so who will it be ? I bet the Moorhen gang are in overdrive, and the Lifeboat guys will be determined to grab the top spot and you never know we may get a surprise.

See you all next week.

This time next Friday the first day of the show will be over and credit/debit cards and/or moth eaten wallets will have been plundered.
We will have gazed in awe at Martins choice of shirt and we'll also see who's made a serious effort to get their sticky fingers on the Best Club Stand trophy ........ the grapevine has alerted me to a strong effort being made by a Club who's never won it before. No names, but they are bunch of soft southerners !!!!!!!
If you are on this forum regularly and we've never met, then do come to poolside and say hello ...... it's always nice to put faces to names.
AND if a certain person is wearing a penguin outfit this year, can you please not sneak up behind me again !!!!!

See you at the show.

Post by: Steve Dean on November 07, 2016, 01:16:53 pm: HOT TRAFFIC / ROAD NEWS ....... PLEASE READ O0

Those of you who travel to the show via the M40 (Junc 12) and then go up the B4100 for a short distance and then turn right onto the B4455 (Fosse Way) may have heard that the B4455 is closed due to work on a railway bridge. The organisers have now been advised that there is now traffic lights with single file flow over the bridge. However, the diversion signs may well still be in place.

Depending on traffic volumes there could be a delay at the lights but it is worth waiting rather than going all the way round the diversion. The diversion will send you along the B4451 through the village of Bishops Itchington and then onto the A425.

DISCLAIMER. The organisers have no control should the contractors choose to close the road again but we do not believe this will happen.

Yes and No - but mainly YES - just don't use it late at night as more often than not it's closed as I have found out far to many times!!!

And IGNORE your SAT NAV or you will end up on the wrong motorway :)

It started at 10:02 Friday when I walked off with one of his boats. Then tissues down the funnels. Turning signs and pictures upside down. Salt and pepper sachets on the boats etc. Nick even got in on it with special cans!
But I did get 2 penguin chocolate bars and a cuppa before I went and got accused of playing around!

Post by: raflaunches on November 13, 2016, 09:27:45 pm: Thoroughly enjoyable three and a bit days :-))
A big thanks to the organisers for the 19th year and congratulations to King Lear MBC for winning the best club stand.
Met up with the usual suspects- Steamboat Phil, Stavros, Mrs Stav, Klunk, and Chuffy to play the pranks all on Phil's expense!
Met some more Mayhemers- The Man in dazzle shirt that tried to compete with the Train Ferry paint work-or better known as Martin, Capt Povey, Victorian, Baloo, Carl (Linkspan), Ron Dean, and many more.
Had some enlightening chats with visitors about Dad's Train Ferry, admiring remarks about the WW1 fleet of battleships, cruisers and destroyers, and as Phil mentioned to me before we packed up I had a rather strange turn buying a Thames Barge hull, plans and fittings!!!! :o
Some magnificent models on show and some great people to talk to, and buy bits from.
And finally, Wicksteed Park MBC are chuffed to bits with getting joint third with the Life Boat Enthusiast Society in the best club stand competition :-)
Now relaxing and enjoying a beer before unloading starts tomorrow.

Post by: Steve Dean on November 14, 2016, 04:54:09 pm: Can someone please explain how 3 days can pass so quickly ........... however to be serious, a BIG thank you to everyone who took part in the pool demonstrations.
It was fantastic to see the two large aircraft carriers moving around ( Mr Mayhem's camera was loving every second of it) and the session with all the ferries and cargo ships was stunning to watch. The 'wacky' collection was delightful .... duck, swan, seagull, Father Christmas, 'The Black Pig' galleon, the tug with a face (moving eyes) & smoke and of course the superb rowing model (thanks Jason).
Chris Scott once again came over from France with the James Bond 'Q' boats (please can we have the pool water back !!!!) and we had Paul Chilcott's stunning 'Voyager of the Seas' on the pool alongside Mick French's huge QE11.
As usual the Lifeboat gang did us proud and great to have Andy Griggs (Models by Design) on the water with his new hull/kit.

To all those that helped out in any way (particularly the Kids sessions) many thanks :-)) from myself and the show organizers.

Steve Dean (Pool Master)

Post by: unbuiltnautilus on November 16, 2016, 08:55:11 pm: Went up on Sunday. Great show as usual, with a very high standard of club stands, plus interesting product from the traders. I seem to be fixated on older designs at the moment, as indicated by my photos..

Post by: unbuiltnautilus on November 16, 2016, 08:58:53 pm: Mountfleets new model, he is working on the development of it now. Kerne Tug. A larger model of the same vessel was on display elsewhere. Both very pleasing to the eye.

Got it in the end, after much camera adjusting..

Alfold 2016 or the Persian Gulf early 90s, you decide :-)

Not the being on sticks per se. However some of those on sticks have just taken off, but the situation behind them is simply not possible (on Kittyhawk at least, the other might be possible but would involve nerves of steel, extreme skill and probably a court martial).

Post by: unbuiltnautilus on November 18, 2016, 01:34:03 pm: I saw you launch it at Alfold and grabbed my camera to get a series of photos. It works even better if you crop it to cover just the mid to forward flight deck, heat haze off of the afterburners! Actually, it is so big the bow was out of focus!
