Our first show in 3 years. We are still collecting feedback, but it looks as though everyone enjoyed themselves.
I bumped into Alan Ranger, one of the guys that gave us the super ARBA Range of resin models. I've known Alan for a lot of years. I didn't know that he had written 34 books.

Great pictures! There were certainly some fantastic builds on display, and good to see a return for the show after it's absence
Best wishes

Feed back for the show has been positive. It's a good venue, but not cheap to hire, even for one day. We came out of it in the Black, so we are hoping to return next year. A couple of things that we can improve on would be the poor lighting in the trade hall, and the queues for the food and drinks. Those two are down to the owners of the building. We can hope that the escalators are working next year, too. As for being a bit chilly in the Trade Hall, we can't control the weather. It was not a very nice day.
We can make a little more space for the clubs and have identified possible spaces. Space for the clubs is quite limited, but there is enough for some excellent displays. Looking forward to next year.
