steveb860 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Ian Blackburn (my modelling buddy) and I, will be showing our Rhydwyn Fawr steelworks layout (Gauge 0) at Stafford; we`re really looking forward to being part of this excellent show. Who else from RMweb will be exhibiting? Not exhibiting, but now I have moved up from Wilts, I shall be attending. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Garnet Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I'm beginning to wonder if floods will lead to layouts/exhibitors withdrawing; whatever happens, Radio Stoke had better improve on its weather reports. The Sunday of this year's exhibition was badly handicapped by well out-of-date/time reports of road conditions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I'm beginning to wonder if floods will lead to layouts/exhibitors withdrawing; whatever happens, Radio Stoke had better improve on its weather reports. The Sunday of this year's exhibition was badly handicapped by well out-of-date/time reports of road conditions. It's a bit early to sensationalise about road conditions some 6 weeks away! One road 10 miles away was closed for a day this week. If river floods ever reached the showground 80% of the county's populations would be drowned. Last year there was accurately forecasted snow and everyone did everything they could to make sure a show went on including some very long journeys for the exhibitors and traders on the Saturday evening. By Sunday morning all local roads were clear and the staff on site had worked to clear the site's roads. I honestly don't understand why you'd post something potentially harmful and factually incorrect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 45156 Posted December 22, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 22, 2012 I agree Andy - it is better to wait and see. Had I gone along with the progostications of the weather "experts" about theMember's day in Juy and also in Stafford, I'd have stopped at home, as there were numerous "Do Not Travel" type messages, and even the National Rail website was at it. As it happens, it did rain for part of the day, but I got there on time, and got back close to time, by car/train/train/bus, and car/train/train/car and I enjoyed one of the best days out that I'd had for some years.

Andy Y Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 That's hardly SRC's fault so I can't understand why it would put an exhibitor/trader off. SRC and the county showground staff go out of their way to look after visitors by car. I really can't understand the motive behind this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
great central Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I always go with the weather as I find it, this year the only time I could get to Stafford was Saturday afternoon. The forecast was for snow, but knowing it can be wrong I went anyway. Sure enough it snowed, but I got there and home again despite somebody tottering along the A50 at 20mph in a 4x4! Weather forecasts can cause damage. Several years ago, snow was forecast across the East Midlands on the Sunday of the Nottingham Show. It was a gloriously cloudfree day! But the attendance was down and several people we contacted who had intended coming hadn't because of the (hopelessly inaccurate) weather forecast Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium ELTEL Posted December 23, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 23, 2012 I think that is just the point Tom Garnet was trying to make.

Hope to see you at Stafford Exhibition in February, have a nice Christmas Terry Stafford Exhibition Manager 1990 to 2012 Indeed so. SRC members ( I am one of them) did indeed do all they could, but all felt that misleading radio reports on the Sunday morning contributed to a very disappointing turnout that day. Saturday's numbers. while lower than often, were not as drastically down despite the snow forecast. Exhibitors and traders come from far and wide, most arriving on the Friday afternoon/evening before the Exhibition opens. It is neither unreasonable nor scare-mongering to hope that none of them are impeded by any adverse weather conditions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
