[PR19_Kit]

Just checked train times from Burton on Trent. First train gets me to St P at 13:00. Don't think the show is on I'm afraid

BR's gone to the dogs since I left............... 

[McColm]

Will you be there O mighty one?

[Freightdog862]

Just had to cancel my trade space, as it falls on one of the kids birthday's, so no Hendon for he! Might see if I can make a shorter visit as a punter, that would be a novelty....

Yup, just not on logistical I'm afraid

[Radish]

Blame me.....it's my 65th "Nightmare in Walton" party....

[Hman]

Well I plan to go.

Also silly question, can anyone submit a model for this forums stand at shows - not that I have any at the moment.

[Army of One]

Not sure but as long as a member I think you can display a couple of Whiff's depending on table space.....I'm sure OGL will be along to clarify....

The UK show displays are not forum events, but are run for and by the IPMS (UK) what if? special interest group (SIG). The sig and Forum are two separate enterties. The sig just happens (with supertoms agreement) to inhabit/infest this site (delete as you see fit ).

How ever we (the sig) are more than happy for forum members who are not IPMS or sig members to join in so long as they understand that we do sometimes have to impose limits on how many models a participant can have on the stand at any one time, due to space considerations.

It also means that scale model world wont be free to enter or open to non ipms members at those times set by the organizers as IPMS members only times, Namely the friday afternoon and before 10am on the showdays. Thats our main perk as paid up IPMS members.

According to IPMS rules, membership of the sig should only be open to paid up IPMS members. Its a rule that I (as the SIG leader) quite openly ignore. And to be honest the national exsec committee ordinarily turn a blind eye to such flagrant breaches of that rule. So long as the SIG continues to meets the minimum requirements to function as an a special interest group with in the IPMS.

It does have the feeling of a Bull or was he just speaking ex cathedra?

If only that were the case LOL. ITs more like I was the only one foolish enough to put my hand up when Terry asked for some one to take over from him.

OK,  so the Pope sends out "Bulls",   The Archbishop of Canterbury has a "Great Seal"  and the list of Anglican church property is recorded on a "Terrier".   Do I detect a theme here?


  Boring didactic mode on.......For the terminally inquisitive, bulla  in Latin means a seal,  and a terrier records land holdings, or terroir  in Norman French.   That concludes today's boring bit!........ Didactic pedantry disengaged.

well you learn something new every day
