  1. Saturday, don’t forget that on Sunday, it is Easter Sunday, so all the shops in York will closed.
  2. Any chance that a copy of the floor plan, with a list of the layouts and traders, which could be printed off, so that I and others could plan our day? Also, don`t forget that there is no longer free car parking, except for the first 30mins and blue badge holders. The tariff is 30min – 1hr £1.50 1hr - 2hr £3.00 2hr – 3hr £4.50 3hr – 4hr £6.00 Up to 24hrs £8.00 Blue badge holders must scan their badge at the payment terminals and enter their vehicle reg number to receive their free parking. Car parking machines will only accept card payments, no cash. Vehicle details are collected on entry via ANPR. You can pay up to 24hrs online. After that time a PCN will be issued.
  3. No matter how many chairs are provided, there’s always going to be moans that’s there’s not enough!
  4. It would be useful if there was a copy of the floor plan with a list of layouts and traders that could be printed off so I and others could plan our day.
  5. 1 day ticket £21 2 day ticket £38 1 day ticket Junior (under 16) 2 day ticket Junior (under 16) Not that much more considering that Warley was a much larger sized exhibition.
  6. Could be the NEC Model Show, organised by the Exhibitions Division NEC Ltd 24-28 May 1990 Details taken from Exhibition Diary RM May 1990
  7. In August 2021 Hornby purchased the remaining 51% of the shares in LCD Enterprises who owned Oxford Diecast
  8. Unions now have to give 14 days notice before they are allowed to call a strike
  9. On the 8th November the RMT has agreed in principle to accept the latest pay offer, so the threat of any further strikes will hopefully be at an end.
  10. Does that mean that it won`t be taking place at Milton Keynes, but it could be somewhere else, or has it been cancelled?
  11. In 2018 the move was made from Gaydon, as this exhibition had outgrown that venue, history now appears to be repeating itself as I believe that this is now getting too large for this venue. Last year, on here there were quite a number of comments made on here just how crowded it was becoming and this year it appears to be even worse. I attended on Sunday, to miss the anticipated transport problems on Saturday (enough said) and I was taken aback just how many visitors were queuing before the doors opened at 09.30, as Sundays by tradition, was known to be a quieter of the 2 days. In past, on the Saturday, I can`t remember the Security Staff stopping visitors from going to the upper floors due to overcrowding issues, as they were doing this year. Time to move on again?
  12. The ban which I refered to in my earlier post was that the Warley Club has agreed with the NEC only involves other model railway exhibitions being held there. It does not cover toy fairs (which there are a number taking place) nor this exhibition on toy models.
  13. Tomorrow the car parking will return to the area o/s the Arena; it was only moved today to The National Bowl due to the MK Dons football match at the adjacent Stadium. I believe that the car parking is free, providing that you register your car reg on the tablet as you leave the exhibition. Don`t park in the adjacent Gym Fitness car park opposite the venue as you will receive a fine.
  14. There is an annual pattern with all football fixtures, a team will commence one season with a home match and finish the season playing away. The following season it’s the opposite, away first match, last match will be at home. Therefore on any given weekend, it will be a home match one year followed by an away match the next, and so on. So next season MK Dons will be playing away for this weekend, as they were last year, just check with their or any other clubs past fixture lists. Hence my comment for moving the exhibition to alternative weekends, but it probably won’t be possible as the venue has already been booked up by other third parties.
  15. Not possible, as I believe that the Warley MRC has an agreement with the NEC that they will not accept another model railway exhibition taking place there.
