Hi
I was wondering if any one knows if this show will be on this year?
I have had a Look at Meridienne Exhibitions website . There is no mention of the 2021 model boat show. Saying that they only go up to October 2021 on there website

I have had the invite for the model engineering show from meridienne today (which is in October) but as yet noting for the boat show

One of my club members contacted them last week regarding this too and they say that they are waiting for exact details of any restrictions for later on this year so they can plan it. They say it’s not cancelled and hope for it to be planned very soon.

Hi Everyone. I have been siting with my hands behind my back because it would have been inappropriate for me to reply to this thread until Meriddiene Exhibitions were ready to make an announcement. Now the news is out, I would just like to say I am looking forward to seeing everyone again and hopefully shaking many hands. Also I need my visual treat of seeing one of Martins shirts !!!!Very best regardsSteve Dean. Pool Master & Commentator.

DATE FOR YOUR DIARY
The INTERNATIONAL MODEL BOAT SHOW
One of the UK’s Leading Marine Modelling Exhibitions
Saturday 6th & Sunday 7th November 2021
Warwickshire Event Centre
Meridienne Exhibitions have confirmed their intention to deliver the International Model Boat Show on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th November.
They will continue to monitor and act on advice from the Government and respond accordingly to guidance throughout the coming months, to ensure the event can safely be delivered with compliance to any Covid-19 requirements that may be in place at that time.
Tickets are expected to go on sale in late July. Make a note in the diary now of the dates and see www.modelboatshow.co.uk (http://www.modelboatshow.co.uk) for all the latest information.
As usual the show will be packed with over 600 fantastic models from over 25 club and society displays. The excellent and varied display of models from early warships to modern power boats and ships will be complemented by action on the large indoor boating pool.
Organisers expect many specialist suppliers to be present offering visitors everything they could need for their boat builds and other modelling needs.
In addition to all the boating action, the Tamiya Truckin team will be demonstrating and driving their 1/14 scale radio-controlled models on a roadway system over 80 metres square. This fantastic arena will feature radio controlled 1/14 scale trucks, plant and machinery.
Make a note in your diary now and see www.modelboatshow.co.uk for more information.

I bet you will send in a stunt double O0

More importantly i will miss out on the cake again!

The club manuals have just been sent by email to all the club contacts who have already confirmed their club will be attending this show in November.
Club organisers, please check your emails and if not received safely please contact us.
For those clubs who have not confirmed as yet that they will be attending, please do let us know.
Many thanks

Any plans to play with the 1/144 corvettes?
-
Attn TonyH ......... can you please explain/enlarge on your posting above. If there is the potential to do a set piece display on the Pool then I would love to hear from you. If you send me a PM via the Forum with your phone number then I will be happy to give you a call.Very best regardsSteve Dean.Pool Master & Commentator.

Hi Steve, originally suggested for 2019 but fell a bit flat. Have a look at the "Group build....." being the 4th/5th tread on the Model Boating section.
Cheers

This is great news and I'll be going :-)) :-)) :-)) Its only down the road from us in Dudley and I can take the wife for a night out in Stratford too. It would be great to actually meet some of the people from here!

It is with deep regret that due to the ongoing uncertainties of Covid-19 pandemic; we have to announce the cancellation of the 2021 International Model Boat Show which was due to be held at the Warwickshire Event Centre on the 6th & 7th November.
This difficult decision is taken despite a real determination by the Meridienne Exhibitions team, trade, clubs and other supporters, all striving to continue to deliver the usual high quality and successful event during this very difficult time.
Over the past few weeks, we have been in the excruciating position of considering every possible scenario to see how we might be able to proceed, but sadly the risks of holding the event now far outweigh the reasons for going ahead.
The core decision is based on the escalating cases of COVID-19, and the risks that widespread illness and self-isolation could have on everyone involved. We have navigated our way over the past 16 months through obstacles, but now feel that the odds are stacked against us and we are no longer in a position to be able to proceed safely with the unknown government Covid-19 requirement for Autumn/Winter ahead.
We look forward to seeing you all again in the future and thank you for your support.

Very very sad ---------------- but not unexpected.
-
OK, everybody round my house for an adhoc show then! {-)
-
Outdoor shows would seem to be the obvious solution. Only for the summer months though. The Southern Model Airshow when it was still at the Hop Farm was such a good show.
-
I wonder why the N Gauge International Model Railway show, also run by Meridienne at the same venue but in September, is still going ahead.......

Maybe it's okay because it's on a smaller scale?

Maybe because the railway guys are more willing to put their health on the line... :embarrassed:

........and/or younger.
This might also be why the Midlands Engineering show has gone.

Obviously the problem is to get exhibitors and traders to commit well in advance. But in the current chaotic situation just who is going to be willing to do that, especially if you are of advancing years and still liable to catch the Covid Delta variant even if you have been vaccinated?
A few weeks ago the prospects looked good but now?

And not to forget visitors.

Visitors can leave things until much later to decide. Not so with exhibitors and traders.

Also when you think about it November is the middle of the flu season
We don’t know how this years is going to go with the covid added in.

Yes but if traders exibitors think that there might not be much foot flow they might not want to book.
I am but one person but regrettably I will not be attending any indoor shows this year.

With all this confusion going on and going round in circles we can only hope that 2022 will be the year we can all meet once again. On a personal note I enjoy the commercial shows and the smaller club open days something we have all missed .
Stan. :(( :(( :(( :(( :(( :(( :((

It could also be a matter of Exhibitors Insurance ......... {:-{

Sad news but understandable,
Another year without steak & kidney pie and fending off high jinks by the wickstead club O0

This might cheer you up Phil.
We had an Outdoor display at the Cheshire Steam show the other week.

Nice Larry, good to see them again :-))

Such as shame as we were planning some excellent displays for the show and some excellent pranks for Phil.
Hope to see you soon in 2022 :-))

I dont understand this decision to cancel, sports events such as premiere league football matches, music concerts etc where 1000s attend are ok to go on, but a model boat event gets cancelled!? %) ?

I suspect that they had their doubts as to whether enough elderly gentlemen would come from far and wide to give an adequate footfall. Blackpool seems to have gone off OK but I suspect it was a less expensive event to organise and we don't know whether it made a profit or loss.

Sadly, the decision was made earlier this year not to hold the 2021 Show due to the high uncertainties of the Covid-19 pandemic at the time when decisions had to be made.
We were very concerned with the unknown situation of what the winter months would be like and what restrictions would be in place.
For those of you who have commented that we ran our September model rail show – this was possible as the conditions in late summer were more stable and the risks far less. We have sadly cancelled October 2021 events and also January 2022 events.
We are VERY pleased to confirm that we will be back in 2022 with the International Model Boat Show so please make a note in your diary now!

Good to hear that the shows will be back next year :-))

According to Mrs Stav, they all turned up
The only ones missing were the few who
had retired over the last couple of years.
Yes they did make a loss😞

I'm a bit confused - is the show on this weekend as previous posts suggested it was cancelled? Googled and it seems to be on?
Thanks
