Tim V Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Train from Hilsea to the centre? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold kipford Posted November 19, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 19, 2015 Dave If you are coming by bus ….. First Bus route 1C operates at 15 minute intervals along Copnor Road throughout most of the day. Alight at Burrfields Road / Stubbington Lane (Star & Garter). (Approx. 10 min. walk to the school). Portsmouth City Centre (30 minute journey time) and Cosham station (12 minutes journey time) are served by this route. It is probably best to check this information before making your journey as bus timetables are liable to change. If you are coming by rail…. Hilsea station is about a 15 minute walk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisf Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I should like to proffer thanks to the organisers for another top class show and fine selection of layouts and traders. It was well worth the 250 mile round trip in what were initially adverse weather conditions. The opportunity to consume a full English on arrival was particularly welcome. Later I was a little bemused by the closing of one catering outlet and the opening of another just down the corridor but such things serve to sharpen alertness!

grahame Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I managed to drop in and found it to be a rather good and high quality show - one worth bothering to pencil in the diary for a return visit next year. G. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold kipford Posted November 24, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 24, 2015 On behalf of the SHMRC thanks to everyone who attended, exhibitors,traders and the public who made it such a success. Also thanks for all the very positive comments from members of the forum. We were about 10% up on last years attendance which is encouraging. Next years exhibition is well under way with the continued aim of providing a good selection of high quality layouts and traders. PS Appologies to anyone expecting C&L, they were in Portsmouth but holed in the hotel with lurgy. We trust all is well now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenrithBeacon Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 With the increased footfall will there be a change in venue? Regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold queensquare Posted November 25, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 25, 2015 With the increased footfall will there be a change in venue? Regards I do hope not. We have exhibited/demonstrated there for the past three years. I think it is one of the better venues, clean, bright, good lighting, excellent catering and with reasonable access by public transport. The odds of finding something better at an affordable price I suspect are slim. As for this years show, I thought it was the best yet. As Tim V said, a consistently high standard. Hemyock is simply beautiful and there was lots of pre group which particularly floats my boat. Jerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
