Anyone know any good, reasonably priced B&Bs or Hotels nearby?? Or it'll be Travelodge again, word of advice, there's long term roadworks right outside Travelodge in Leamington Spa so be wary, traffic, access and parking are difficult to say the least, Dave.

A great show.One we look forward too each year.It is my personal favourite.Myself and some of the other Derby boys will be there again after a stop at Hilltop Farm for a good old fry up.Can't wait,I may even duck behind the curtains for a couple of weeks before so I can avoid the milkman and spend the cash at the show.

Counting down already!

Closer to 'home' than Blackpool

Maybe twice as big in area and probably two or even three times as many traders BUT admission at the door is more than Blackpool. I think it's generally acknowledged as the biggest and best model boat show in the UK and if you only get the chance to visit one show then this has to be it.

Anyone know if Alastair Graham (Model Motors Direct) will be there this year?

Want to talk to him about 3 torquey, smooth motors capable of smooth, progressive action and to push a circa 15lb model about (the Free Enterprise ferry).

Carl

Hello Steamboat Phil', can you bring the Mayhem cap I paid for last year?

One of the best shows without a doubt, lots of traders, good parking, well laid out, nice and BRIGHT, and very good cafe serving good food, hope to see you there, Regards, Tony.

I doubt it - he doesn't like to pay much for his stands.

i am not sure if he will be there- i know he has 'traded' in the car park before which i think is against the centre rules !!-

Martin (Admin) · « **Reply #17 on:** October 19, 2011, 05:15:18 pm »

I've never seem Alistair (MMD) with a stand there...

carlmt · « **Reply #18 on:** October 19, 2011, 05:21:07 pm »

Cheers guys - last time I spoke with him 'face to face' was some 5 or 6 years ago at Beale Park when he sold me a 'Millenium Motor' or some such..............beautiful motor it is - powers the SD14....very smooth and quiet...

See some of you up there on the Friday?
