Really looking forward to this. Always a good show but the venue is always freezing.

ToughSheet ? Who/what is that. Sure it's not "ToughS..T" ?

A full set of tables has been booked and paid for.

A few Bolton fans complained and got told "Tough Sh...t"

Those young ladies have found themselves on a rather inopportune page

I might try and make it to this one, since I no longer have to be paranoid about "show-flu" losing me my job.

All I have to be paranoid about now is spending money...

If I am still living here in Darwen I will try to get over to this. Its been a very long time since I was last at the show.

Send me a pm nearer the time as there's a pair (could be three) of Shackletons on the disposal pile that can be yours if you're still interested.

If I remember, I'll post a list of stuff up for disposal nearer the time for collection by interested parties at Bolton.

I've booked myself into the Premier Inn over the road so you can expect to see me there!
There's a good curry house nearby too.

I shall bring a few kits to sell. I think somebody (Lee?) offered me an Su37 which I will happily take on.

The Wooksta! · January 16, 2024, 11:25:11 AM

Already on the pile of stuff to bring down.

chrisonord · January 17, 2024, 09:09:25 AM

Looks like I shall be using public transport on Sunday as I am not getting the bike out in our current icy conditions. Busses to Bolton then Horwich shouldn't ne a problem on Sunday.

Not forecast to be freezing as it is at the moment, but supposed to be warmer, wet n windy. So may not be ideal for bike either.

Think the train may be easier than bus

Well the plan is currently for me to be there. Not sure how early because I have a birthday party to go to on the Saturday night in Blackpool, so I may need my Zs on Sunday morning. For that reason, I am NOT going to be bringing more than one box of models for the table (haven't got more than one box of newish ones anyway) because trying to put a lot of models out once the show has started is obnoxious.
