Ahh, I will probably come under my own budget rather than the antweights.

When did you hear from Modelworld? I sent my form back months ago but haven't heard anything from them.

Do you have Tim's email address so I can drop him a line.

BTW I went to a model railway show the other day, and was talking to an exhibitor about the Brighton show and it turns out that each layout is allowed to visit the show ONLY ONCE, so we are very fortunate to be invited back every year, I think.

Simon, that is patently UNTRUE!

I have been visiting Modelworld regularly for many years, and there are many exhibits that appear year-in, year-out.

The organisers may prefer railway clubs to rotate their exhibition displays to provide some variety, but I can think of several layouts that I have seen on more than one occasion. There is nothing in the paperwork about only exhibiting once.

Non-railway exhibits such as ours ARE invited back time after time, for example Worthing Society of Model Engineers, the HOT Racers (R/C cars), the R/C tank people, the Daleks, and even that shifty-looking bloke with the R2-D2 :wink:

However, we still need to provide an interesting and useful display for visitors to ensure that we do get invited back next year.

BTW, we may be somewhere different this year, just to provide a bit of variation to the layout.

OK Gary, I've got to admit that all those layouts look pretty much the same to me! I'm much more interested in the tools.

Anybody got any artwork or signs we could use? I always feel the area looks a bit bare and unenticing. I can probably get some stuff printed out if someone can do the artwork....
