fender Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 does anyone know if it's literally doors closed at 5:00pm (4:30pm Sunday), or is that the last time for admissions? I ask as I would only be able to get 90 minutes or so there if the show closes at those times, which is probably not worth it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted March 21, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 21, 2013 That will be doors closed as exhibitors have to get out to their accommodation on Sat and pack up and home on Sunday. Cheers, Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fender Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 That will be doors closed as exhibitors have to get out to their accommodation on Sat and pack up and home on Sunday. Cheers, Mike thought that might be the case but wanted to check. thanks. however, this may be more like it: "That will be doors closed as exhibitors have to find a good pub get out to their accommodation on Sat and pack up and home on Sunday." and why not!

Andy Y Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 It's with substantial regret that I'm not going to be at Ally Pally this weekend as I've got an infection after a bad dose of the 'flu. I'll particularly regret not seeing BCB together again and I'm feeling more than a tad guilty that I won't be in the lecture theatre for the photo talk but the show does go on with Old Gringo stepping into the breach to deliver 'The Story of the Blues'. OG and the memory stick have just left here with one of the BCB boards (where I've failed to get the canal finished to the point I wanted to!). I hope everyone has a great weekend, I'll just have to tidy up the workbench instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been holed up in bed all week with that bug and, as I'm sure Kim will testify, I'm not the best of patients! Jerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon020 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Andy... hope you feel better soon. But having just seen the weather forecast, I'd suggest you stay in the warm. ... and to all exhibitors and traders headed to "t'smoke" tomorrow... take care, it looks like winter's not over yet and there's plenty of snow forecast for the Midlands. Good luck... and hope you make it down (or across or up) safely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck... and hope you make it down (or across or up) safely. And snow forecast for the London area overnight Friday/Saturday as well, gradually working southwards from the Midlands according to this evening's London area forecast on the Beeb. Very sorry not to be seeing Andy & Jerry there but assuming we visitors can get up the hill I hope it turns out as a good day for the rest of us and the exhibitors.

AngusDe Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Last week, somewhat tongue in cheek, I suggested to my wife I could use the East Coast reward points we've built up over the last 18 months to get a freebie ticket to London for a day trip to Ally Pally as I missed Model Rail in the SECC with her last bout of illness...... ...my flabber was truly gasted when she said, "good idea, why don't you, you deserve it" :-) So (mini!!) rucksack packed with camera and ipad and ready to go, for a relaxing day of trains and model trains, lol! Sat, 06:20 ex Waverley and 17:00 ex Kings Cross :-) Angus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
