Something I did notice through the weekend was there weren't any hire vans in the car park, despite the presence of several large club layouts. Obviously this is an ongoing concern for both access to them and cost, but if this is the new future of exhibitions then we'll do just fine.

 

There are also several videos of layouts at the show now appearing on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=cotgrave+model+railway&sp=EgIIAw%3D%3D

Two large club layouts actually live upstairs at the venue.  they only needed to be carted downstairs and set up.

 

Many thanks to all for the positive comments.  Next year we are on April 5th and 6th.
