I've tried a few times to get in contact through both Component Shop and the Blackpool Facebook page regarding attending the show with a club display, but sadly no reply as yet.

BLACKPOOL MODEL SHOW 2023
Hi Folks.
Well, I have finally had chance to update the Blackpool Model Show website, so booking forms for any clubs or individuals wishing to exhibit can now be downloaded (www.blackpoolmodelshow.co.uk)
The date for the show is the weekend of the 14th-15th October, once again at the Norbreck Castle Hotel at the North end of the Blackpool promenade.
I will be contacting everyone who exhibited last year & they will automatically have space reserved for them, there will be limited additional space, which will be available on a first come, first served basis, so please get your bookings in if you wish to exhibit - if you have any problems downloading the paperwork, just let me know & I can e-mail paperwork directly to you, or even post the paperwork if required.
The format for the show will be very similar to previous years, although there will be a few different things going on as well, more on that later.
One change this year is that Stavros (Dave Jones) has stepped down from helping out over the show weekend, instead my very good friend David Gale has agreed to help me out. Although new to the model show, David has a wealth of experience with other shows. He is a thoroughly nice bloke & I'm sure will be an asset to the event.
Any questions feel free to ask.....

Getting closer to show time

The web site has been updated with all the clubs & exhibitors that have so far returned their paperwork (www.blackpoolmodelshow.co.uk) There is a very limited amount of space left if anyone else is interested in exhibiting - this is simply because a few people have yet to return their paperwork & I am getting tired of chasing them, so the space that is left is available on a "first come, first served" basis, so if you are interested, or have paperwork that you haven't yet returned, please be quick.

Hi Iain

Is the Bring and Buy in the same room as last year ?.

Iain · « **Reply #12 on:** October 07, 2023, 02:54:22 am »

Yes, same as last year, making for easy access to & from the car park via the rear doors of the hotel, with no need to go through the main show ticket entrance.
If you are looking to sell something, the paperwork can be downloaded in advance from the show website (www.blackpoolmodelshow.co.uk) or you can just complete on the day at the bring & buy. All fees from the bring & buy are given to charity - 50% to the RNLI & 50% to the Air Ambulance.

Fantastic weekend, many thanks to Iain and the Component Shop team for organising the show. This was the first year we displayed as Wicksteed Park MBC and we really enjoyed our selves. Great to catch up with the Scottish Lads and get to see the humongous HMS Glory that Colin is building.
I’ve done a Martin and took loads of pictures so I’ll sort them out and upload them over the next few days. Steve was very surprised at being awarded the Best Scratch-built Model for the Train Ferry, there were some stunning models on display and I’ve actually bought more bits and pieces for my nieces models than for my own! However a P-Boat may have found its way into my boot before I left
