Thought I better get in first considering I live 33 Miles away from it so commute each day.

If, as is increasingly the case elsewhere, the organisers are charging exhibitors an entry fee, I won't be there. Be charged to sit behind a table to look at me own models?  Sex, travel  and their mothers would be my immediate response.

Very likely the last time the show will be at this venue.
Perth & kinross council have announced the closure of the Dewars. Origanaly slated to be closed before the show date, but according to the blurb on the shows web page this has now been put back to September.
There have been some rumblings about closing down the centre for a few years, so not that much of a supprise realy.

We have the usual space booked and paid for. I have ordered a number of wristbands, any one who has one will need to pay the required fee to cover the cost to the SIG. The cost of the tables has been covered for the most part from the small events fund held for such costs. My thanks to those who donated at Telford last year. You know who you are

Because of various changes in circumstances I might be able to get to this, this year ? Need to have a good good look once I get a big family wedding out of the way

That would be great if you could.

I may get there too, other life areas allowing. I enjoyed it two years ago.

Been looking at the logistics for this and for 4 days, 2 of which would be traveling, I'm looking at near £500. Bearing in mind the journey would knacker me it's not looking that likely

Just under a week to go.

I have Jaffa Cakes and a packet of Lemon Puffs in stock for this year.

I have started packing my bags and have a model or two to finish. Don't Panic...

I have also booked to visit the Scone of Stone in the new Perth Museum . Martin and Joe will recall the building site opposite the bar we sat outside last year - that was the Civic Hall which has been rebuilt.

After the show I plan on spending a few days climbing some mountains if the weather is good. On the way home I plan on visiting the Dumfries Aviation Museum and hopefully the Solway Aviation Museum.

Tyneside as a club is not going and from what I've heard several other clubs have dropped out too.

Why?  The policy of charging exhibitors for both tables and entry.  It isn't cheap to get to Perth, more cost if you're stopping overnight, and then you're charged more than your average punter just rocking up to have a look round.

If other shows follow the same route, I can see a lot more people voting with their wallets.  If you piss off enough exhibitors, you don't have a show.

I can't believe they do that.  It's idiotic behaviour.

My chaotic life has worked out in such a way that I won't be able to make it to Perth again, darn it.

But some you win, some you lose.

A shame.
