Paul J Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Had a good day at this show today. It was nice to see so many familiar faces from other clubs and friends who I have not seen since before the Covid thing. All looking like we have ben in some time warp with very little changes. Many thanks to Derek and crew for putting on the show, but these difficult times was reflected in the footfall being low. But a large venue that could easily take a lot more stands and the public. Hopefully next year will still be on . Purchase wise formewas being rewarded with the presence of the REvell 1/32 AsK 21 glider I have been looking for at a real bargain price.

sinnerboy Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Yep,well done Derek & co.

pigsty Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 ^^Certainly did, thanks very much for another top show. All we need now is a trader or two who sells paint and glue and sanding sticks, and this'll be well on the way to being the new Southern Expo. And I'm not kidding.

We actually had 5 traders pull out at last minute, and these were exactly what you are requesting, we had 3 aftermarket and 2 general tools/paint accessory suppliers originally booked as well as what there was on the day.
