Douglas G Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 You can also preview the programme and see what else is at the show on the show's homepage: https://www.model-ra..._February_2012/ Richard Hi Richard, Am I the only one who finds the text on this web page about the show almost impossible to read? I don't think the choice of colour for text and background is in line with web page accessibility guidelines. Douglas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisMRL Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 hi all, We're all ready for the show this weekend - had a quick look at the weather forecast for the weekend and it's cold but no snow, so we hope to see you there! I'll be running around the place with a video camera - some excellent layouts on offer! cheers Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Torper Posted February 9, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 9, 2012 Seems strange that a show that refers to itself as a festival of British Railway modelling with over 30 layouts doesn't have a single P4 one........ DT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium t-b-g Posted February 10, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 10, 2012 Depends if a] they were invited or b] if any are available. I have often wondered how layouts are selected/invited for the Warner's shows. I am excluding the Ally Pally one from this as I know that is done by contact from Nick Freezer and possibly others from the MRC. Do Warner's send a traditional "exhibition manager" out scouting for layouts? Or is the layout content made up from submissions to the magazine (as is my experience) or from people sendig details to the publisher's website, as I was once told? I have just had a look through the brochure on line. Is there anything that I have missed that tells me whether the layouts are club/private and who has built them?

RMweb Gold Graham_Muz Posted February 10, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 10, 2012 Fisherton Sarum was invited to attend the Warners shows (Doncaster this weekend) and Peterborough next year after I approached them and prior to my article in the magazine last month that was timed to coincide with its apperance at Doncaster. There has been a couple of inches of snow here on top of the Chiltern Hills overnight but bright and sunny now, I have cleared the car and will be setting off soon to load Fisherton Sarum before heading North to Doncaster.

PLD Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I have often wondered how layouts are selected/invited for the Warner's shows. I am excluding the Ally Pally one from this as I know that is done by contact from Nick Freezer and possibly others from the MRC. Do Warner's send a traditional "exhibition manager" out scouting for layouts? Or is the layout content made up from submissions to the magazine (as is my experience) or from people sendig details to the publisher's website, as I was once told? The original premise of the early shows (Doncaster only in those days) was to showcase the layouts that had featured in the Magazine, though these days it’s not clear which is the wagging tail and which is the dog… My experience from 4 or 5 years ago was that a few months after taking my layout to Ally Pally (booked by Nick F) I got a call from Warners Exhibitions Department asking “now you’ve exhibited at AP would you like to bring the layout to our other show? and would you like to write an article about it for the magazine?†At which point I told the girl it had already been in the magazine a year or so earlier, a fact she was unaware of so clearly by then there was a shift away from that original principle towards the mag being used to promote the show rather than the other way round… I also know of others with the same experience of an invitation to the other shows following an appearance at AP including one for a German Layout, hastily withdrawn when it was pointed out that a German Prototype didn’t really fit in at the Festival of British Railway Modelling… Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy C Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I got approached via an e mail from Warners to take New Hey to both Doncaster and Peterborough. I presume that was because Nick (Freezer) booked me for Ally Pally this year, although Dicky W had asked me if id be prepared to take the layout as well at Railex last year - so Im not exactly sure how the invites came about to be quite honest, all a bit of a mystery, although i believe at one time you could approach Warners themselves offering your layout.

pauln Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Aside from the discussion about who gets invited and why I am up from the south visiting friends nearby so I will see you all there on Saturday. Looking forward to seeing some new layouts and maybe spending a few pounds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
