I didn't know that, Gary. Yes, it is a shame, but it didn't really seem to take off in the sense of attracting ME exhibitors or traders. Even so, it had the great advantage for me of being only 10 minutes away.

I'm sure John S is right. For the (relatively) small traders we deal with, it is getting not worthwhile closing up shop, arranging transport and finding local accommodation in these days of selling on-line.

NickG:
likewise Stew!

garym:
While we are on the subject of shows, are there any other events in the UK that members think are worth travelling to that are of a general interest to model engineers or Mad Modders. I've been to the Harrogate and Midlands shows. The London shows are a bit too far I think. Sometimes traction engine rallies or preserved engine open days have model stuff tacked on and I've been to a few of these.

Anything else I'm missing?

Gary

NickG:
Yeah was going to say all the traction engine rallies are good, Beamish open air museum, Beam engines at High-Conniscliffe and Rhyhope. Think there is a model engineering type show in pickering now? Also there will be the open days of the various model engineering clubs - these aren't often well advertised and you need to be a member of a club to find out.

If you were willing to travel south then we try hard at Guildford to put on a good show. This year I would recommend staying clear of the model tent otherwise you might see yours truly making a right fool of herself :)
