David Bigcheeseplant Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 OK bit of a typo! Sunday is best to visit, as Saturday gets very busy. Interesting to note that when we had senior discount the amount of adults was the same both on Saturday and Sunday but most seniors visited on a Saturday.

Clearwater Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 In a world where people are often keen to carp and moan, I thought it worth saying that the website for this show is excellent and the floor plan is really clear and easy to read. My thanks to the organisers and I look forward to visiting David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bigcheeseplant Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 We do try and ensure all publicity is clear and any laid out well. Ant does the web site so thanks must go to him. The floor plan is not too scale as such but is blocked out so it is easy to read. It seems that there are many exhibitions that can't even be bothered with free publicity, such as diary dates in magazines or listing on here and other forums, it just takes a bit of time and effort, but if you want people to come and visit you need to let them know. Those parking at the stadium there are warning signs saying you can only park for three hours, don't worry the parking cameras will we switched off during the Railex weekend. We will also be using the hospital staff car park, we make a donation to the hospital scanner appeal for the use of this. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Bigcheeseplant Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 We have got a few hundred bus tickets printed, we then ran out of the card we were printing them on! If we have any left on the Sunday we will sell then, it just depends how many we sell on Saturday. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Bigcheeseplant Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 I'm quite excited about visiting my first Railex! Should a 58 year sensible level headed (well I think so!) man get excited abut a model exhibition? Is the on site catering ok? Thanks Hi Richard I hope you will enjoy your first Railex, it will be number 12 at the stadium for me! As for catering it is normal type sport centre food, chips pizza sandwiches, jacket potatoes etc. There are a couple of cafes in the adjacent Stoke Mandeville Hospital if you want to get away from stadium café which tends to get very busy at lunchtime. Also there is an Asda too by the hospital entrance all around 5-10 walking from the stadium itself. Another alternative is bring your own sandwiches and sit in the balcony overlooking the show, which is quite pleasant. There is some local publicity in the local paper and hopefully something on BBC South Today on Friday evening about the show which was filmed a couple of weeks back, so we do expect it will get busy on Saturday.

Horsetan Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Is the on site catering ok? Standard leisure centre fare. Seating area gets crowded during peak demand periods. ....normal type sport centre food, chips pizza sandwiches, jacket potatoes etc. .... Healthy things like that.

MarkSG Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Is the on site catering ok? To be perfectly honest, it's not the show's strong point! There's nothing wrong with the quality, the problem is capacity. It's a fairly typical leisure centre cafe which is geared towards the needs of the typical users. It doesn't cope so well when the main hall is being used for an exhibition or event, such as Railex. So the queues can get a bit lengthy and the seating space can be limited. You can avoid the seating problem by taking your lunch into the arena's spectator seating area (which, of course, isn't in use when there's an exhibition on the floor of the hall), but it's still a bit less than ideal. That said, it's adequate enough, and certainly not a reason for avoiding the show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I've always wondered why leisure centres do so much to help people get fit, and then completely sabotage it with the catering! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
