I am interested in collating information from recent shows about attendance, compared with pre-Covid years.   The aim would be to help inform other clubs about what to expect or plan for when reaching decisions.   Can you quantify anything from the Christchurch Show please e.g. the percentage change in attendance compared with the last equivalent show?  Thanks in anticipation.

I am hoping  to collate information about the attendance at shows held this year, compared with attendance at the equivalent event last year.  Obviously a lot of factors affect attendance including weather, competing events - not just Covid.   But it might help exhibition managers and committees if there was some rough indication of attendance levels, to help decision making, estimation of break even points, admission charges etc.   How could such information be collected on a common basis please, and does any of it exist already with recent shows eg Uckfield, Leeds etc.?

Thanks for any advice or information.

I have used filmscanuk too and was happy with the results.

Good to see more work by Richard Ellis in this edition - in a larger scale this time (wagon building).

A number of comments ask about what precautions would be in place at events.   This link gives some idea: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/working-safely-during-covid-19/events-and-attractions

I understand the reasons and viability issue.  But I do wonder what will be any different in 2022?  Will perception of risk change even though actual risk may be identical next year?

Great photo @Corbs 'Nellie' was at Bradford Industrial Museum which lies between the romantically named areas of Idle and Fagley ! It's her sewage works sister 'Elizabeth' that is now down at Armley Mills.

 

I still hold out hope that I will get around to building a small 7mm layout with the title of the 'Sewage Works Shunt' sometime, I already have the loco kit, a few suitable wagons, track and potential boards. My house overlooks the area which is quite a haven for wildlife, at least the 'local aroma' has improved since the new settlement tanks replaced the majority of the open beds.

I included a suitable picture in my Gallery of modelling reference/inspiration, in the hope that it would encourage someone to try this idea!  

Does this picture help or hinder please?!
