I, finaly, managed to speak to Martin at the Aeroventure about booking space. I spoke to several others and left messages but never got a call back. Anyway I might have left it a bit late as apparently they are all but full. Martin said that he will phone me and confirm space 10 days to a week before the show. My appologies for this slackness but keep your fingers crossed and we will get in. I believe Bolton have space so we will be represented what ever happens.
Mal

Regardless of space or not, Sam and I will be going as it's a good day out and not far for us to travel. Then again we could all just hijack the Bolton stand if the worse comes to the worse

P.S. Mal, have you been in touch with Ian Crawford with regards to a table and the Lincoln & Newark Model show at Southwell in October?

Yep I will be going anyway.

Yes Allen I spoke to Ian just this morning about the show. Unfortunately Southwell racecourse has suffered with the weather and aren't expecting to be up and running until next year if at all. Ian is looking for another venue, Newark show ground looks favourite, and he will let me know when he knows. I would assume that if it is at Newark that it wont be a problem

Mal

I'm gonna slap up to Doncaster as well, stand or no stand.

Andy

We are still going to Doncatser just wondering if there is any news on having a table there?

When I last spoke to Martin he told me that he would let me know, 7-10 days before the show. As He hasn't got back to me I am assuming that we haven't got space. I am still going regardless.

Mal

Thats ok just wanted to know if had to pack any models to take. Im looking forward to a day out.

So it looks like we are hijacking the Bolton stand then

I hope you manage to get in touch with them Mal.
It'll be a real shame if we dont get space,especially as its our "home" show.
Id be tempted to turn up with the stand on the day
Nige

i'll be missing this time due to a wedding in the family, so have fun KEEP WARM and take plenty of pics!

i had forgot about this one if if we have space ill be there, if not i may turn up any way

cheers

keith

Soon be Sunday
Do we know if we've got any space anywhere ( our own stand or tagging on with Bolton) ?
Nige

Oh dear seems to be administrative errors all round. Hopefully we'll have some better luck with Newark Still It'll be nice to meet up with some familiar (and new) faces once again.

On the up side, I won't have to get up at stupid o'clock to be there at 8 to help set up. see you all at some point during the day.

Andy

It certainly looks that way.
I'll be turning up mid-late morning.
Its going to be very interesting to see how "full" the show is.
See you all on Sunday
Nige

Nigel,
Any chance of a lift? I've got three weeks to go on the ban

cheers

Craig

Hi Craig.
I can only give you a lift there, as Im heading off to Lincoln straight after and wont be home until mid week.
Nige

I have just this second spoken to Dee, Martins wife, at the Aeroventure. Martin did say that he would phone me, 7-10 days before the event, if we had space. I asked Dee if she would check with Martin if there had been any cancelations. She said that she would ask Martin when she saw him, so keep your fingers crossed.

I will be there regardless.

Mal

Fingers crossed Mal,,but Im not going to start packing any models just yet.
Nige

Nigel,

Thanks for that Andy (bigskip) has offered me a lift back down the A! but it's too far out of his way, not to worry I will be able to get to Southwell/ Newark IF the DVLA send my licence back with the right name on it this time.
Cheers

Craig

Looks like another one to add to the list of unreturned messages.
See you all tomorrow
Nige

Well they normally say no news is good news but obviously not in this case See you all in a couple of hours
