Rains a lot here, but the water only comes halfway up the ducks !

A wonderful list of traders and modelers, we all owe a very large debt of gratitude to Iain Lewis for keeping the Blackpool Show going. Show your gratitude by attending the Show otherwise these shows will eventually fail.

I have been looking at some comments from previous years which talk about the venue not been very good because of poor lighting has this been addressed by the organisers?

I attended last year and the lighting was fine.
There was a whole additional area dedicated to model trucks which I found fascinating and a welcome addition.
The traders list is impressive and there are many clubs attending so that together with a visit to the Blackpool with its bracing sea air will make for another great show

There is now a whole bunch of pictures on the show web site (www.blackpoolmodelshow.co.uk) If anyone is interested.
If you have a look at the gallery page on the site, I recommend that you scroll down to the bottom of the page & look at the last video which is the inside of the model garage of John Eva, which I personally found really impressive. I know it isn't a model boat, but there is no disputing this guy's modelling skill & attention to detail.

Not sure which post had unhappy comments on, but hopefully it was from before I started organising the show. In any case, I am always open to suggestions (polite ones at least!) so if there is something that was not as you would perhaps have liked it to be just let me know.
