:)The Model Boat Convention 2008 at The Centre Birchwood Business Park Warrington. The event will take place on Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th August at the above location. Model Boat clubs and traders will also be in attendance. The location offers very good catering facilities, an excellent lake for sailing your models, close by car parking and a very modern and well liit building. If you would like to sell or purchase a model then a chandlery will be in operation again. Many models were on display in 2007, something for everyone to see and chat about. 2008 should be as good or even better. More details to follow via modelling press.

Just got back from Birchwood. A brilliant day plenty going on at the traders stands, the club stands and on the two ponds. There is no doubt this is the best and friendleist show in the Country.

Nice Pictures there , I was only able to make it on sunday but it was well worth the visit, weather was a bit ishy first thing but soon brightened up to be a fantastic day out, was nice to meet some fellow Mayhemers from a few of the other clubs, I had my favourite models but the standards from ALL clubs was exceptional. was well worth getting back home from France at 3am and then getting up at 9 to go to the show.

Hi Ghost , the ship was on the "The Ship Modelling Society" stand, Ron1 probably your best bet for further info. Hope this helps

Hi Folks,

I can only echo the above comments,, a great time was had by all, it was a real pleasure to meet some of you on hear, it is nice to put a face to a name, the atmosphere was one of pure relaxation and everyone was walking about with a cheery smile on their faces , great banter between the clubs and as has been said earlier fantastic models on display. I am sure the pictures will flood in as they have already started.

my regards to all

Even better than last year with many more superb models on show and owners happy to pass on tips to help other modellers.
Next year will be the 20th show and long may it continue.
Birchwood is a great venue with lots of free parking and easy access from various directions.
If you missed it this year make sure you get there in 2009
