Les1952 Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 Matt Stevens' Newstone- featured in the Junior Modeller section of a recent Railway Modeller. BTW our dates for the NEXT two shows are confirmed as follows- 2020 April 4th and 5th 2021 March 27th and 28th. The shift in 2021 is because Easter falls on our "regular" weekend and the venue already has a booking for the second weekend in April. Les Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie Whizz Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 My first visit to this show today, and thoroughly enjoyed it. A good range of exhibits and traders for the size of show, and “Lincoln Central” will be quite something when it’s finished. All being well I’ll be back next year for sure. Well done.

andyram Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I would like to thank Les and the team for organising a very enjoyable show. It was very well organised and seemed to attract a good crowd, especially on Saturday. It was the first time I have attended a two day event as a trader but was made to feel very welcome. I am looking forward to returning next year. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les1952 Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 Very many thanks to all who helped to make this year's show the best one we have done so far. Attendance subject to confirmation was 635, about 60 up on our previous best ever. All we need is about 300 people to attend next year who haven't been before - particularly on Sunday as the split was 400 Sat 200 Sun. Next year the same weekend, April 4th and 5th. All the very best Les 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
