Me and a friend visited Squires in Bognor yesterday, despite our unreliable rail system and bad weather I made it in around three hours  For those of you who haven't been or for that matter not heard of Squires, well then shame on ya  They have a massive assortment of these products: Evergreen plasticard, K & S, glues, LED's, Rail Match paints, Humbrol acrylic & enamel paints, airbrushes, micro electronics, tools of all descriptions, screws & nuts in in brass and plastic, clear acrylic sheeting for windows in an assortment of thicknesses, fibre glass matting and resins, boat bollards - anchor chains - cast metal hooks, wheels and pulleys for making gears, an assortments of geared and non geared motors, hobby miniature sanders, drills etc..etc..etc!!!!

But be warned tho....it's easy to get carried away when your there

Spend with them nearly every year at the Brighton Modelworld which they sponsor, also used them for mail order, great service, would spend a fortune if I went to the shop.

would spend a fortune if I went to the shop.

As I seem to do, nearly every time....

They were supposed to be bringing out part 2 of their catalogue covering the electrical/electronics side sometime before Christmas but when I was in there a few weeks back it was still not yet available.

Oh dear, having read this I feel another visit coming on.....

I have used them fora while, and am lucky enough to have the electronics catalogue (last years)---I have been to the shop, and you are right, its amazing what you come out with that you didn't realise you needed.

I had a dable in thier catalogue and ended up spending 170 quid.

I had a dabble in thier catalogue and ended up spending 170 quid.

Ah, so that explains it! Last time I was there I was nearly knocked over by a lady staff member with a large trolley sweeping armfuls of stuff off the shelves....

[meechingman]

Yes, that stand at Modelworld convinced me that I needed all sorts of things I hadn't thought of.

[Tankerman]

Their mail-order service is second to none. Many a time I have placed an order with them by phone in the afternoon and received the order by post next morning.

[Tug-Kenny RIP]

OK   I'm convinced.  Where do I write to please

I lived a stone's throw from Bognor for some years and have in-laws who still live there but I never knew of Squires until Colin Bishop mentioned his frequent visits.

On my recent visit to Bognor I popped in, WOW!

There are two shops adjacent one for modelling and the other for every craft you can think of. The catalogue is a gem. But don't expect the shop staff to be overly helpful, the ones I met were really just shelf fillers and mail-order selectors. However, when a more senior guy was called to answer my query he seemed more knowledgable.
