I live close to the show and attended the Model Engineering event a couple of weeks ago. Since then it's hardly stopped raining. The car park is grass with hard roadways.
Parking spaces were boggy at the ME event and a few people had to be towed out. I would guess that the same will be the case at the boat show. It would pay to bring a bit of carpet to aid traction and remember that when the wheels spin, pushing the right foot down harder is not the solution. There were a few lead footed people who struggled before. Better still, bring a few friends who can push if there is a problem. If you have a rear-wheel drive car, load the boot with purchases (sorry dear, I needed the weight to get off the grass) to help!
At least the hard roadways mean once you get moving, exiting the car park is easy. Being prepared is sensible though.

Good Morning Larry
,    Thank you you for clearing that up , how are you keeping ?......ARE YOU GOING ............have three BOBBYS in the family  Larry...... :-))
Bobby Junior is fine, still waiting to be completed  %% again but nothing new there.  No not going this year, what with the price of petrol I had to choose between the Blackpool show or the Leamington Spa show  show and I was told I was going to Blackpool so I could sit for over 2hrs going through the lights " What Fun" !!. I prefere the Spa show but SWMBO stated her case.. <*<

All this talk of cake has decided me.
I'll be there Saturday - save me some cake Ken.

This time I am going to make a list too ....
I always get home and find I have missed buying something.

I have to say that with luck the carpark should have dried out, will let all know when I arrive Thursday, not only did I have my stand at the Midlands ME I did then spend a few happy hours after (and sometimes during) the show towing poor modelers out of the mud.....so at least I had a street cred landy when i got home as it was (and still is ) covered in mud.
I have a lounge full of boats at the moment ready to load....might need a bigger roof rack....
 
Oh and Kenny....bring the other half of the cake I don't mind (its the cherry I want)
Right back to welding the £20 note into its box  {-)

If anyone wants to be paid to spend the morning in the car park:

You could spend the wages on model boat stuff in the afternoon!
Just a thought...

I will be there on Friday - with the mem-sahib. 
 
Not sure how to introduce her to the weird odd distinctive flavour of Mayhem members, or how to start a long (but distant) relationship with Phil's mythical note

Hi everyone,
I hope you are all looking forward to your weekend at Warwick. Sorry I can't be there.
I have spent the day in the kitchen slaving over a hot cooker.
Yes, I have made cakes. I haven't forgotten you all.
Sitting packed in their boxes are:
Bread Pudding
Ginger cake
Apple and Sultana cake
Chocolate cake
Chocolate chip muffins
and Mince pies with a difference.
Have a fabulous weekend.
See you all soon.
best wishes
Debbie

Hope everyone has a fantastic time this year, and Martin, don't forget to take a lot of pictures! :-))
Wish I could be there but unfortunately the RAF didn't want me to leave the Falklands until the 20 Nov!!!  >>:-(  I know that my Dad, Paul Millers, Bob Maggs and Dennis Hubble from the Wicksteed Park MBC are arriving this afternoon to set up our stand, I  know that they are looking forward to seeing you all again. You can all admire my gunboat HMS Gnat which I have recently found out to have a few errors, hope I will have corrected this by next years show! :embarrassed:
