Sidders Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Hi All, Can anyone confirm if this show usually in September at Kings College is happening this year? Many thanks in advance. Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spruecutter96 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 (edited) I thought that the show was supposed to be moving to a new venue. This was before Covid reared it's ugly head, though. My apologies if this is bad information. Perhaps Jabba could confirm or deny. Cheers. Chris. Edited April 17, 2022 by spruecutter96 Amending some information.

Yes it was going to move to a new venue, I can't remember where. As we are going to the show at Poole this weekend I will get an update, unless someone beats me to it.

Eric Mc Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 For various reasons, we were forced to start looking for a new venue after the 2019 event. We did eventually find a suitable location in Camberley. Unfortunately, lockdown put paid to both the 2020 and 2021 events and the most recent information we have at the moment is that the "new" venue is still not taking bookings for 3rd party (i.e. non-school) events. As a result, we have been unable to organise a show for 2022 so far. I'll keep you posted if there are any further developments. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter96 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) Sorry to hear that, Eric. It surprised me how difficult finding a suitable venue was, when organizing the Elstree show back in 2019. I hope that Farnborough can sort something out for later in the year. Cheers. Chris.

Jabba Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 At the club night last night it was decided that there will be no Modelfest this year as a suitable venue cannot be found. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter96 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Hi, Jabba. Sad news, but thanks for letting us know. I wish the club the best of luck in finding a 2023 venue. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Mc Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 It's a real struggle. Trying to meet all the criteria for a decent show with all the related factors (parking in particular) isn't easy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 That's a bit of a downer. Hopefully a venue will be found for '23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
