Chris I'm sure 'spell chucker' has been at work, and of course local visitors will know the venue, but I'm sure the post should refer to Baildon rather than Basildon.

Much busying about & preparation was underway last night at club to start getting things ready for setting up on friday. I'll be splitting myself between The Mill & Clayton. We are all very much looking forward to the show after an unavoidable year off. Please come & say hello & chat to any Shipley members & find out what we are up to as a club. See you all at the weekend. Cheers Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris-GNR Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 Evening all.. All set up & ready for the weekend. Just waiting on a couple of traders & a layout who are setting up in the morning. We have layouts & traders on all three floors so be sure to make your way round the whole show to get a good look at everything. Also be sure to have a look on the SMRS members sales stand on the top flood, some real bargains to be had! A huge thanks to everyone who got stuck in today & helped with setting up for the weekend, especially the ones who aren't even able to attend the exhibition. Looking forward to seeing you all there.

Guest Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I find it sad to say this but having visited for at least 15 or so years I found the show today a shadow of it's former self. I will go no further but if any club member on here would like my thoughts I'd be happy to share them via PM as I don't want to discourage anyone from visiting. I do hope next year's show is a return to form as in the past Shipley has been an excellent show Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, as a member of the club I would invite you to PM me your more detailed comments as feed back that I can present & discuss with the exhibition team.

Many thanks Chris I presume you filled in the visitor questionnaire before leaving. Speaking for myself, I thought there was a very good range of layouts and some inspirational modelling on view.

RMweb Premium wagonbasher Posted September 17, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 17, 2017 Morning all... The show is well under way with a really good turn out of people. A few pics for you, IMG_5509.JPG IMG_5505.JPG IMG_5512.JPG IMG_5513.JPG IMG_5511.JPG IMG_5514.JPG Cheers for now. Chris From those photographs there looks a good standard of layout. This is a two day show and folks may still have decisions to make as to whether or not to attend. From RMweb we have some great shots fron Chris and now a damning comment 'shadow of its former self' but no clue as to what was wrong. If Snapper didn't want to discourage anyone from visiting those comments should have been saved until Monday. So, who else was there, visitors, exhibitors members of Shipley let's have some views. I'm not coming, I was out at expo EM Autumn last week. Andy 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-GNR Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 Looking forward to a second day at the show today, I'll do my best to post some more pics from around the show. Also i've a point motor to change on The Mill before we open & a bit of a shopping list that needs addressing. See you all there. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branwell Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I went yesterday, and thought the standard of layouts was excellent. I was though a little disappointed with the trade side of things, albeit that I came away with a couple of additions to my library from Booklaw - my main gripe would be that they were a little bit lacking in materials for the scratchbuilder.

2mm Andy Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I too visited yesterday. A nice selection of layouts with a good mix of scales and prototypes. Particularly enjoyed The Mill, Faringdon and Millsbridge, and it was interesting to see Clayton as a work in progress. I'd agree that the trade was a bit light in places (would have been nice to see someone selling rolling stock kits). I managed to get the one item on my shopping list plus a couple of impulse purchases. I was amused to see that the council had repainted the walls of the main hall since the floods, but only up to the level the water reached!

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted September 17, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 17, 2017 We went yesterday and even Nicola thoroughly enjoyed it, especially, she has asked me to point out, the narrow gauge ironworks layout. Anyone who didn't enjoy the show must have a strange taste in layouts, I thought there was something for everyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show organisers should always welcome constructive criticism; but yours has been left open-ended, and, I think, should have been delivered in more detail after the show. After all, they can't do much to change the event after day one, can they? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-GNR Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 Evening everyone. Well thats it for another year. A huge thank you to all of this years exhibitors, demonstrators & traders. Some really nice modelling on display this year. Also a huge thank you to all our honorary SMRS members Friends, Family & Volunteers who help make the whole thing possible. Once we've had chance to get all the info collated we should be able to see how the exhibition was on paper, but for me it felt like a great show with some really busy moments. Thank you to everyone who attended the show we hope you enjoyed it, see you all next year. Kind regards Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
