spruecutter96 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 This is the list of traders who will PROBABLY be there, going on the 2023 show: Colin Lee Models Falcon Aviation Models For Sale (Vince) Chris Mitchell Models Mike Reveller Kits (a new addition) Valiant Wings Publications Dave Sutton Models (officially known as Aviation Antiques, IIRC) (Possibly) Aerobilia Mark Spicer Models (don't know his company name) There was a man selling off most of his stash in 2023..... I was told he was a Farnborough member (I don't know his name or if he will be selling this year, too). Not forgetting all the numerous under-the-table bargains, supplied by the many Clubs present! ... and a number of others, TBC by IPMS Farnborough.

Paul J Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I've been looking forward to this one. Will one need to bring chairs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabba Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 As far as I can remember from last year chairs are provided. I will find out tomorrow evening when we set up, unless anyone else chimes in beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were, thanks; the problem was, they were a bit thin on the ground. One or two more per table would go down well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallisti Posted September 6 Author Share Posted September 6 If you can bring chairs that would be useful, we will be providing some chairs but if you are anything like us, there is always more of us that chairs One other thing to be aware of that we've just discovered, there is a road closure near the Leisure Centre and a diversion. We're not quite sure just yet how hard this diversion is, but best advice is to give yourself some extra time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev67 Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 First time at the new venue, vast improvement from the school, and everything in one sports hall, similar to the southern Expo event, all in all a very good show 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Mc Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Our second year at the new venue. We are still finding our feet there so next year's should be even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 I had a very good day. Enjoyed being there and found the alternative route to the venue, due to works on the roads, was a bit quicker than the one I used last year. To me , it seemed a lot bigger with more traders and club stands. Well done guys. Looking forward to next year all being well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev67 Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 One thing I noted from one of the traders selling second hand kits was that you really needed to check what was in the box, as more than one occasion the kit was either incomplete or not even that model in that specific box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
