Me too Elaine! Dealing with the range of changes has been a challenge for all concerned and it does look as though show guide/magazine and floor plan therein was published in good faith- and then the changes started - it would have been possible I guess to say no it is set in stone and put off some new names. I guess it will be an adventure for some ... 600 tables amd 1400 chairs hired now not bad for the local clubs local show in a local hall. See you on 38 very soon Robert 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris M Posted November 17, 2022 Author Share Posted November 17, 2022 (edited) There have been a lot of late changes to trade stands this year and this has made keeping the plan up to date very difficult. The alternative would have been to have a cut off date with no changes after that date. The way it has been done has enabled some trade exhibitors who were on the waiting list to attend.

RJS1977 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 There are probably quite a few of us who wish it was this weekend (from my perspective, even with the strike at TVSC this coming Saturday, the relevant trains between Reading and Birmingham are running, which they won't be next weekend). 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
black and decker boy Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Oops. I read Barry’s post which said see you Thursday and thought it was show weekend. It’s been a very long week :-( All good then as no roadworks next Fri / Sat / Sun as it’s Black Friday weekend so roads always busier than normal (ie nothing unusual for the M6 & M42). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted November 17, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 17, 2022 not sure what to do now, my friday job finishes in kings norton at about 04:00 on the saturday so its a long time to wait for the show to open but also early enough to drive over, grab some breakfast en route and park up in the railway staff car park and have a sleep for a while, i do now however also need to go to silloth the same weekend to bring dominic home from his summer job and lock down the caravan for the winter, driving there straight from work at 4am also appeals to me too as it will be quiet on the motorway, think im going to have to evaluate my plans nearer the time! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNR Dave Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Just been told by East Midlands Trains that due to Industrial Action on the 26th there will be no trains between London and the NEC and a rubbish service on the 27th and that I should apply for a refund on my pre-booked ticket 🤬 Good job I didn't pre-pay for the show itself .

RMweb Premium Ian J. Posted November 19, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 19, 2022 I gather coach prices are very much dependent on when you want to travel and how far in advance you book. Things get much pricier if you want to travel at peak time and only book a few days in advance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
