Dave,
Has it been looked into though? It's not like it's a trade stand so there wouldn't be a fee would there? I know the only thing the Model Engineering Club I'm in choose to pay for is insurance for the models.

Hi Nick
Not sure about club stands .. but ..
A few years ago a remote aquaintance from Holland has a company that does control systems for Model Railways.
He was thinking of a stand at, IIRC, the NEC in Brum. The cost would have been some four times what it would be in Holland for the same set-up.
Not including the transport costs from Holland.
Decided it was not feasible ..
I seem to remember some considerable gum-nashing on the subject on the ME forum.
Some months ago though .. IIRC that nice Mr. J Stevenson had some input to it ... or maybe it was something else...
I cannot imagine any exhibition organiser doing it for nowt ...

.... why would they ??
