It was quiet first thing but filled up quickly
I had advance tickets but my son had to queue for 35 mins at 11.15. Tee
publishing failed to send an extra ticket even though asked before Xmas

The model aircraft flying in the corner was good, otherwise usual turnout
of usual exhibitors.

I know Arc Euro did not bother this year, and I could not justify the time or
cost :(
See you at Harrogate hopefully ;)

There was virtually no queue at 10.00 (two or three people in front of me),
but by 11.00 the foyer was full with a zig-zag queue and the tail was out
the door and down the step (thankfully it was not raining much).

As to the show, I thought the much hyped "A variety of scale models and
demonstrations" was rather half-hearted, do the organisers really want to
become a "show of all the modelling talents", like the old Nexus organised
Ally Pally show? If so, they really need to attract some traders and a
decent display of static models.

I thought there seemed to be a lot of boat models and related traders to my
eye.

As far as model engineering traders, there seemed to be a lot of standing
seling very similar items at similar prices.

I did see Bob Symes near the Gauge 1 Society stand, Mr. Symes must qualify
as one of the 'grand old men' of the hobby, who people may recall from his
appearences on Tomorrows World back in the day!
