More Shows for the Second Half of 2016 **UPDATED**

Post by Dazzled »

Following discussions with TomW and Kitaholic with IPMS mag "What's on" page in hand, I was wondering if there was any interest in the following shows.


July 31st: IPMS Birmingham, Midland Expo. Quite a big show and good and central for most of us. No Response

August 7th: IPMS Avon, Plastic Model and Wargaming Show, Thornbury, South Gloucestershire. Unashamedly the closest show to me and one I'd love to attend. Thornbury Leisure Centre is quite a nice venue too. Confirmed

August 21st: Boscombe Down Aviation Collection Model Show, Old Sarum, Wiltshire: Boscombe Down! How cool is that for Cold war fans? 8-). It's their first show so it'd be nice to support it....and have a goggle at the aircraft collection. Confirmed

September 4th: East Riding of Yorkshire Model Show, Driffield: One for our Northern members. It's a bit far for me but if there's some interest in attending I'll have a go at getting a SIG display table. **Unlikely**

September 11th: Sutton Coldfield Model Spectacular 2016, Walsall. A personal invite at the IPMS Avon show and a good central show for the SIG. Awaiting written confirmation

September 24th: IPMS Farnborough, Modelfest 2016, Camberley. Another well know biggie on the modelling calendar and a good one for the profile of the SIG.Confirmed

October 1st: IPMS Abingdon Model Show 2016, Abingdon, Oxfordshire. Just a small one but perhaps a chance to discuss the countdown to Telford. Reconsidered



And that's about it unless anybody fancies a trip to Belgium for Plastic and Steel held on October 8 to 9th. For most, I imagine, it's a bit too close to the Telford weekend.

So, is anybody interested in any of these? If 2 or three of us can get to any of them I'll start sending out requests ASAP.

I've emailed the Farnborough organisers again using an alternative email. I've also emailed the organisers of both the IPMS Avon and Boscombe Down shows.

Fingers crossed for some responses :)
