AdrianMF Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 One More Sleep! Excited. You can print out a discreet badge to identify yourself as a Britmodeller here: Then people can buttonhole (or avoid!) you. I believe Bill @perdu has a meet up at the Birmingham stand at 1pm Saturdays, if he's not already at the bar... Otherwise, look for the @Martian with tentacles. You can't miss 'im.

Mr T Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 17 hours ago, treker_ed said: @Mr TThe National Memorial Arboretum does state on the website that they are closed at certain times during the Remembrance weekend, especially on 11th & 13th. The Armistice Remembrance service on 11th starts at 10:30, but they do not state what time it is due to finish(!), all they state is that it reopens after the service finishes! Unless you have pre-booked tickets for this event, you may not be able to get in (depending on your journey time). We went this afternoon, on our journey down we visited my aunt in her care home near Nottingham, and so after having lunch, we arrived just as all the bigwigs were leaving. Had a very nice walk around and saw a few memorials that have appeared since the last time we were there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomprobert Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Have just left the International Centre after helping set up our club stand. It’s going to be a big show and there’s a real buzz about the place - roll on tomorrow! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanHx Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Well, I can't make it this year - thanks a bunch, covid - but hope you all have a really good time and look forward to seeing all the show photos appearing on BM over the weekend. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy Bird Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Have fun folks! I wish I was with you, but silly old life got in the way again. I will return! I even saved my Britmodeller name tag and lanyard that @CedB made for me. Next year is booked with that 2-week vacation that we're taking 26 times, but so far 2024 is free... Tap, tap, tap...click. There. It's in my calendar. Cheers, Bill 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Sat in our accommodation after a nice tapas meal and finding my lanyard with Britmodeller badge (and a selection of old IPMS badges) that I thought I had left behind. Camera charged, cash collected and some snacks sourced. Better than Christmas Eve as a child. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon J Posted November 11, 2022 Author Share Posted November 11, 2022 Despite being the person to start this thread I have since had a crisis of confidence and decided not to go but I hope those who are going have a blast and spend an absolute bloody fortune. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
