Geoff Endacott Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 Roger Lewis of Squires Model & Craft Tools has confirmed that they are still coming. Reports of their demise (q.v.) are greatly exaggerated. Geoff Endacott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Endacott Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 Gladstone Road will be fine. It's Avonford I'm worried about. Geoff Endacott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold queensquare Posted December 5, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 5, 2011 This is one of my local shows which I always attend - its very good and getting better every year. Sadly Kim and I won't be able to make it this year as we are taking Highbury to the Leamington and Warwick show that weekend. Jerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Endacott Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 One week to go before we start to set things up. The number of leaflets pushed through letterboxes is approaching the 10,000 mark. Let's hope it works again. Geoff Endacott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Endacott Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 I spoke to Roger Lewis of Squires today. He confirmed that they are very much still in business and will be at Calne. Geoff Endacott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
angell328 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Back from my Cambridge detachment this weekend and weekend off! So will be looking forward to a viewing the new layouts and seeing how much my wallet will complain at end of the day! Always a good day out at Calne, see you sat!

two tone green Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I hope to make it as well. Was around 1999 since I was there last. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Endacott Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 We now have extra car parking. I have just learned that the adjacent school will allow exhibitors and leisure centre staff to use their car park. That should free up between 50 and 100 spaces in the main car park for our paying guests. Geoff Endacott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
37114 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Looking forward to the show this weekend, am in tow with the children tomorrow, and then on my own Sunday am when hopefully will be playing with Gladstone Road. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

two tone green Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Sat in gallery looking down on the sports hall where every one is setting up. It's looking quite nice and the bacon roll & coffee are quite reasonable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
two tone green Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Nice show. If you are undecided about going, do, you wont be disappointed. One layout, cannot remember name, suffered total power failure from the start and after much soldering and unsoldering of controller parts it was declared dead. Shame as it looked good with its Southern EMU's sat there awaiting the juice. I really felt sorry for the guy left behind to say about the failure whilst his mate was off sourcing spares. Hope they get it running. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A record attendance today, which beat last year's record attendance, which beat the previous year's record attendance. We must be doing something right.
