This will be held at the Darlington College, Haughton Road Darlington DL1 1DR. Admission is £2.50 for adults £1 concessions.
Parking is free at the college.

Guest at this years show are John Murphy & Roddy McDougall.
John Murphy is the well known editor of the AK interactive Weathering Magazine and will be giving a practical demonstration on how to use the AK interactive range of weathering products such as chipping fluid, mud washes and filters etc. John has also kindly agreed to supply a raffle prize made up of a number of the AK interactive products a weathering “hamper” as such.

I hope to see you there Dennis

I'll be there Dennis, with the usual suspects!
I have muted the idea of a MSC table at the show in the past and this might be a good time to ask if it's worth a go.
I do understand that it's a northern show and us northerners are a bit thin ont ground, any takers??

Sounds like a great show and what Mack has told me in the past it is a well attended one with some big names in modelling on show up there. Too far for me which is a pity. I have had some blinders of weekenders in the past.

Dennis, I'll be dropping Colin an email in the morning.
Bill, define helping out fella? All you need to do is turn up with some models and a couple of jokes and we are on a winner. It'should all be set up by the time you get there! have a chilled out day. It'll be good to meet ya.
I'll be manning two tables on the day, I have already muted having them both together so it's easier for yours truly and it was ok at the time.
Chris Flyers would be great i'll give you me address via pm soon. I hope you can make it with Nemo And any other suveners that could make it.
If folk need a hotel, I've asked around and a couple of folk have recommended
The Bannatyne Hotel Southend Ave Darlington, DL3 7HZ.
Bring some candles as the limited lecky supply oop north is switched of at 6pm.
Andy with the cost of fuel and time commitment I don't blame you fella. I may have to go to Telford later in the year so i'll hunt you out then.

Hello everyone: Well the lights are still on up north. Cheers Mac see you at the show, if you want the flyers distributed I will put some on the door for us. Lads, reference places to stay there is also the White Horse in Darlington which I believe is very reasonable, if you require any more info please PM me and I will get it for you.
Here is a list of traders (as of yesterday)
Aviation & Military Book Centre CGS Military Figures Crucible of Lead Fantasy Realms Friendship Models Halifax Model World MDC MDP Mil-Mart Miniatures Mitches Military Models Models, Trains & Fantasy Games Mr Models Oakwood Studios Pete's Bases SB Models SK Miniatures Worley Books
So plenty of choice to spend our money on. I hope to see a lot of you there. Regards Dennis

Ian,most of the smaller club shows,it's just the one 6' table,but we do have the shelves,which means we can show more.I've checked the Autoroute,and it's a 5 hour run up there from my place....and Dicky has to get here first!!!!...Let us know if you want to use the shelving,and we'll try and get it up there for you?Might be best if we do this via PM from now,eh?

Ok All,
Just a quick heads up to tell you guys we have a six foot table at the show!
If you can make it just bring what you want and we can put it up there.
I know we all have our favourite shows but this one is well worth going to!

Hi All
I recieved news last night at the monthly club meeting reference the latest development for Sword & Lance
So here it is to update for you all.
Our own Jamie Haggo has agreed to be a demonstrator at the show, a few aircraft modellers I know are drooling at this news.
There is a raffle (its a northern tradition) various model orientated prizes: AK Products, A donation from SK Miniatures etc.
We are having a club get together in the White Horse in Darlington after the show for drinks, meal, model chat etc you are all more than welcome to come along.
I hope to see and meet you all at the show
Regards
