I can confirm that this is a small but well formed exhibition. There are swap-meets held in the same premises, but these are later in the year.

This is a show that Joe and Pauline have been running for over 20 years to support school/academy projects, all profits got to the academy.

 

I have visited and also exhibited there in previous years and it is a very pleasant show.

How did you do that, Steve?  When most people edit their posts it says so.

Just as a matter of interest, if you fancy something else to do after you leave the show and it’s not too late in the afternoon; take a stroll down to Hoddesdon Town Centre, where there is a Free Vintage & Classic Vehicle Display taking place, which is well worth a visit.

Just by sheer coincidence it occurs on the same date each year as the model railway show, but they are unconnected.

The town centre is about a mile away from the Academy, but to those of you driving, I believe that you are able to get 2 hours free car parking in the adj Sainburys Store (no purchase necessary) which is a few minutes’ walk away from the display; other adjacent payment cars parks are available.

I have no connection with this display, only as a satisfied visitor to both events over a number of years.
