Unless I'm much mistaken there isn't a thread for this one yet.

Cosford Show 2nd April 2017

I'm going - who else is?

Despite the museum ordering a reduction in the size of the show, the IPMS Shropshire boys confirmed that we have space.

Make the most of this show people. I got the impresion from the Shropshire commitee member I was talking to at the Crewe show, that the Museams Hendon based management are trying to kill off the show. Just like they did at Hendon it self. (one museam, two sites, one management team)

[PR19_Kit]

I'll try to be there for that one, one of the best shows. 

[NARSES2]

Can't make it unfortunately. Shame as it's a good show, but does need at least one night away, more likely two, so can work out a tad expensive.

I think you may be right Martin, which is a shame. Strange that the Tank Museum just had their first model show. Obviously more enlightened.

[Steel Penguin]

hopefully ill be there.

[Radish]

I'm there and will make a noise.

I'd be disappointed if you didn't! 

Are you going to Milton Keynes by any chance?

Thanks to Richard Brooker (he of Coventry & Warks, and our merry gang)tipping me off.  I now know were our stand is.

We are in the same place we were in last year. IE, infront of the starboard wing of the DH Comet I down in Hanger 1.
We only have two tables this time. so not as much space as we have become accustomed to. (I didnt ask for three, which would have ment I would have had to pay for the third).

[PR19_Kit]

I'll bring my usual varied bunch of models with me, some small, some large.

Should I bring all three PR19s and park the 'b' version over in the corner of the hall where everyone seems to think it is? All in honour of it likely being the last such show of course.

Cheers Martin - it's a bit more of an effort to run round looking for the stand than at the average venue.

As a matter of interest, what would it have cost for the third table?

[PR19_Kit]

What's the timings for this show please? And I presume we're paying to park again, despite the fact that we ARE the show?

I'm staying with #2 daughter the previous night so I can get there quite early this year.

[Howard of Effingham]

i'll be there with Richard.

not sure what in the way of models i'll bring though.

Steel Penguin! don't forget the Chocolate Mini-Rolls!

[Steel Penguin]

Howard if I am in attendance they will be there

[Weaver]

I'll bring some Eccles cakes if anyone fancies some?
