The show is on!The dates for the show are the weekend of 16th - 17th October (Admin)The government's "road map" has a full easing of restrictions from the 21st of June, so in theory events such as the Blackpool Model Show can take place after that time without any restrictions. OK, there is every chance that the date may slip &/or there still be some restrictions in place, but confidence is very high that we will be able to hold the show.
I have had many discussions with the hotel, insurers, government advisors & more, all say that we should be "safe" to hold the show, so that is what we are doing.
I have already contacted most of the clubs who have exhibited at the show previously & interest is high, should any club or individual wishing to exhibit at the show who has not heard from me, please get in touch (info@blackpoolmodelshow.co.uk)
The show web site -
https://www.blackpoolmodelshow.co.uk/ is currently being redesigned & should be live towards the end of this week, there will be more information there, including booking forms for both exhibitors & traders. We will soon add the option to purchase tickets to the site. At this moment we belive that it will still be possible to pay at the show rather than it being advance tickets only, but that may change in line with government guidelines. It will work out cheaper though if you buy tickets in advance. Ticket prices are still being worked out as I don't yet have all the costs, however there may have to be a slight increase from the last time the show was on due to some significant price increases.
Watch this space for more information as it becomes available....
