Hi all its that time of year again , the newark and lincoln model clubs annual show at Southwell racecourse , Notts Ng25 0qb Its a great show with excellent facilities ( free parking , bar ,snack bar seating area ) just a small charge for entry ( about £2 last year) Theres a very good selection of club stands , traders etc and theres an open competition with a £1 per entry fee. Myself and Ian ( papa 695 ) will be attending as usual , and hopefully Ben (yambam 26) and Katie will make it too . Anyone whos interested in attending please try and come , its a fantastic show and it will be great to put a face to the name . We usually meet up in the seating area about 12 o clock to have a chat and compare purchases! Anyone whos coming please let us know on this thread and we’ll look out for you , cheers tony

Sorry paul only just seen this post , the admission is £2 ( well it was last year ) and the times are 10 til 4 . Theres a snackbar and bar plus seating area , its actually held under the grandstand of southwell racecourse so the facilities are excellent . Ill try and get a link put on to the model club website , cheers tony

 

[Peej]

Thanks for that. I managed to get a message back from the club and your info is right.

 

[yambam26]

Aha Yep Me and Katie will both be going! be great to see you all again!

 

[Peej]

I will be there. It will be good to meet fellow members. It's my 1st show as work normally gets in the way. Do you have a certain meeting point and time?

 

[PaulTRose]

[stillp]

Do you have a certain meeting point and time?

Quick reminder and roll call , the shows tomorrow at southwell racecourse under the grandstand from 10 till 4 . The postcode i gave earlier from the model club site is a bit of a strange one , a better one is NG250TS this will get you to the actual racecourse car park either via the mile long racecourse road from southwell ( turn off upton road onto crew lane then take the first left and follow racecourse road for a straight mile to the end , the car parks on the left at the side of the golf club) or via Rollestone ( over the unmanned level crossing and turn right into the car park ).
So weve got
Me
Ian ( papa 695)
Pete ( stillp)
Ben & Katie ( yambam 26)
Paul ( peej)
And Andy ( paintguy) and John ( Race) as maybes , any more takers ?
We meet up in the seating area at 12 to have a chat and probably a sausage sarnie and see what weve been spending our pocket money on !
Myself and Ian and usually Ben and Katie normally stay til the competition results have been announced which is around Half three to four o clock Heres a pic of me so you know who to look out for ( or avoid !) Cheers tony

Pretty sure I'll be coming along Tony. Not feeling up to driving a distance yet though so I'll bring the chauffeur/chaperone/bank manager.

If anything she'll stop me blowing a load of cash! :smiling5:

Yes financial restraint is definitely recommended ( but rarely practised !! :smiling5: ) it’ll be good to see you in the flesh , cheers tony
