Long Line Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 I will be heading South early on Friday with some of The Long Line. The 'Landy' is currently having its gearbox tickled to make the hard slog over the Heads of the Valleys road a little more comfortable than the last time we tried it..fingers crossed! I've been assured today that the roads in the valleys are OK, all bus and train services are working as scheduled and that the show is going ahead this weekend. This is a nice mixed interest show with a real friendly feel to it. If your in the area, come along and say hello, Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Dagworth Posted January 7, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 7, 2010 I'm reliably informed by one of the exhibitors that the show has now had to be cancelled, no doubt official confirmation will follow in due course. Andi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Line Posted January 8, 2010 Author Share Posted January 8, 2010 Cancellation of The welsh Model Show January 2010 As reported, this weekends event has had to be cancelled as a result of a burst water main in the road outside. Despite the local authorities sterling preparatory efforts earlier in the week to clear the access roads and car parks of snow and ice, a lack of suitably clean water means no toilets, heating or tea and consequently the sports centre will be closed for up to a week. Homes and businesses in area have been struggling with several burst water and sewage pipes over the last week, a result of the cold spell. Apologies for the late reply but I have been having difficulties accessing RM Web. Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
