durham light infantry Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I'd like to attend, Is there ample on-site parking at this venue? Looking at the satellite view on Google, there appears to be space for a couple of hundred cars at least. Plus there were several lwb minibuses parked up, so no access issues for vans.

Leander Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 I'd like to attend, Is there ample on-site parking at this venue? There's ample parking at the front of the school and elsewhere on the premises. There's also additional parking across the road adjacent to the all-weather football pitch. A pedestrian controlled crossing gives easy access to the school. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leander Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 Off to Wakefield with Suddaby in the morning, armed with 30m tape, pens and notepad. We'll be meeting up with the site manager and then measuring up the two halls, noting locations of power points and generally getting the feel of the place. We're also meeting up with our potential caterers, the Crocodile Sisters, who have catered for Scalefour North since its move to QEGS a few years ago. Meanwhile in another country our esteemed exhibition manager, Mr Martin Wales, is busy booking layouts. We have a very large EM North Eastern Region epic lined up. Watch this space. More will be revealed once I can confirm that we'll be able to accommodate it in one of the two halls! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

First we have to do the layout, demonstrators' and trade invitations. Once we've confirmed the content, we can then start rolling out the publicity. The meet up at Kettlethorpe went very well this morning and we've made some key decisions, such as where admissions will be managed, how one of the halls will be laid out and the catering arrangements.
