Hello!
What would be the best way to get from Liverpool to Haydock and back on this Sunday, please. I'm trying to figure out the public xportation - can't afford rental car;
Lime st - St Helens train
St Helens - Haydock bus 320
???
Please advice, so I don't waste time and instead will spend it at the show.
The site was not specific enough for my case...
I know - should have thought about it more in advance.


I have never been to the show & I don't know Liverpool either but Traveline came up with this. Trains every 30 mins & go from there.

Thank you  :-)
The trip went well.


And the show was fantastic!
They took my money, the traders did - so I cant't complain  ok2
Good humor, knowledgeable advice
And a wonderful weather.


Most of all - the model boats were beautiful  %%
So many tugs, too. Including one Neddie from Billings kit like mine.

The organisers did very well - thanks again!

Come to the show today and attend the closing ceremony and you will see  and hear Brian.


 :-)) :-)) :-))


i would've done  but i was at his old station fundraising at Holyhead Lifeboat day Saturday etc,   was invited by Brain but even he said to stay at Holyhead,   so choice of going to haydock or the RNLI was only one winner

Hello. Has anyone got any photos of the Convention at Haydock to post on this site, although I was at the show it was as an individual  exhibitor and was unable to have my usual wander about, it would be nice to see what was on display in other parts of the venue. Howard.

Hi Howard
I have 600 odd to go through but unfortunately have not been able to sort yet, but I will try to get them up ASAP, a few here and then the rest on the Conventions site.

Hello Longbuild.
I appreciate the large number of photographs you have of the 2017 show at Haydock, have you managed to sort any out for the Mayhem website or for the Convention site, as I mentioned I was at the show but did not get a chance for a walk round, it would be nice to see what was on display. Howard Q.

Hi Howard
Apologies, I had problems with the SD card the photos were on and only recently managed to get them off the corrupted card.


Here are a few randomly selected.


Will get the others on in the next day or so.


Also I believe that there will be a [font=]3 page in-depth photo report by DW in Dec MB on sale later in November.[/font]

 :-)) Excellent display , only up to photo 300 as yet , I do notice some of the early shots are blurred which makes me feel better, MOST of my shots were worse than those , the auto focus had refused point blank to work all day  >>:-(  it's a newish camera so it's probably me . . . .
