Scalemodelworld 2010 -Telford (UK) 12/13 Nov - Whose going ?

[Thorvic]

Well 2 weeks away so time for a general reminder and head count for those going and those thinking of going.

SMW or Scale Model World is the primary UK model show run by the IPMS(UK).

Quite a few of the forum members will be attending and some will be displaying models as part of their local model club or Special Interest Group.

There of course will be the What-If SIG stand where many of our members shall be gathering, but we also have other SIG groups that we are actively involved with including:-

Project Cancelled - TSRJOE
Cold War - Falcon
South African - Roger the Cabin Boy
Soviet Air Force - McGrieg

Please feel free to pop by and say hello and introduce yourselves in between browsing the model displays and increasing the stash 

Cheers

Geoff B (I shall be mainly on the Project Cancelled & Cold War stands)

I have just become unemployed, so that weekend is now free for me. I might attend, provided my budget will stretch to cover travel arrangements etc. Which day is better? I probably wouldn't be able to do both.

[Thorvic]

Saturday

Its the longer day, busier but more stuff available

[Steel Penguin]

[NARSES2]

Well I'm thee Friday to Monday 

[Hobbes]

I'll be there for the weekend.

What's the situation on the M1 like now? Last time (2007?) I had a 6-hour journey from London to Telford due to endless roadworks. Would I be better off taking the M40?

I tend to use the A5, that runs along side the M1 for a while then swings left(west) at Hinkley. Past Tamworth and Litchfield, then links up with the M6 on the other side of brum. Then its a short run to the M54 and onwards to Telford.

As for works on the M1. Theres a lot going on around Junction 13 (Bedford) other wise im not aware of any thing else past that towards the M6. Im not sure whats happening works wise on the M6 thou

I'll be arriving Friday afternoon/evening depending how long I stay at Middle Wallop, and leaving the sunday evening. 

[Radish]

Dear people, I'll be there mostly behind the Biggles SIG stand, apart from a general wandering aimlessy with a glazed look in my eyes. Both days. I can hear the sighs of relief when I say I'll probably be looking like....

[The Wooksta!]

All three days from the Friday.

[TsrJoe]

If you come down the A-5 watch out for the speed cameras - there seems to be a lot of them on that road.

I'll be down on the Sunday probably.

I know about the Gatsos along the A5. Its a road I use a fair bit
