Oh sh1t, I've left Kim behind."Bill No chance of that - without my chief navigator I'd never find anything!! Jerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
5050 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Good to see someone else working the system. When I was working its seems that I was always working south of London whenever the Swanley NG exhibition was to take place the next day. Terry I somehow always managed to be in York on Easter Tuesday BITD. i still can't work out how it seemed to happen every year...........................

RMweb Premium Barry O Posted November 25, 2015 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 25, 2015 Tickets for the reserved seating for the presentations will be available from the Club information stand on the days of the show. So if you want to learn more about the railways, passenger/goods mix, trackwork changes over the years, selective compression, operating a complex model railway system with DCC, industrial loco development or Hornby's approach to product development you can still get a reserved seat.

RMweb Premium James Makin Posted November 25, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 25, 2015 Looking forward to the show, my ticket arrived and should be a good day out! I've been meaning to post something controversial - the NEC £12 car park charge is a relative bargain! This is up against the whopping £25 parking charge at O2 Arena for a recent visit to Michael McIntyre's show last month, think yourselves lucky haha!!

Mike Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Stock sorted and boxed, just a couple of display board additions to make and then all in the van on Friday morning for a 15 minute (hopefully) drive to the NEC.

Oh! must remember to pack the carpet to ease aching feet on those concrete floors. Yes the carpet is essential. I ended up in our local casualty department 2 years ago after a weekend of demonstrating standing up, with what I thought was a ruptured Achilles tendon but turned out to be tendonitis. I've now invested in those mats that look like big jigsaw pieces after seeing Ian (Roundhouse) using them. They work a treat as long as they are put the right way up.

I do have a newb question though, do most of the vendors accept card payments or will I need some actual cash in my pocket too? Most of the traders take cards. However, the mobile phone signal in the halls of the NEC is notoriously poor, so they can struggle to get their PDQ machines to work (i.e. they take "fcuking ages", to use a technical term). So I suspect that many traders would prefer cash at busy times. Should be okay when it's quieter though (famous last words). HTH. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
