Blackpool Model Boat Show

My brother and I went to this show today.It wasnt bad but there were far fewer traders than I expected and it didnt realy live up to all the hype about it being the big one.To be honest I think Haydock was a much better show and I dont think I will bother going to blackpool again anytime soon.

Had hoped to attend but family commitments prevented me going.

Fellow club member attended and he reported there were many traders present as well as a scattering of clubs, and he enjoyed the event, even bought a Yacht from the bring and buy. Admittedly the pool is only small but it does give a chance to see models on the water.

Last time I went to Leamington I had to be towed out of the car park which was flooded.

Who knows, Gregg, with the weather we have experienced this year you may need to take your lifeboat to Leaminton!

A club member went up Friday, stopped overnight and caught the show on Saturday mmorning, No car parking places for hotel residents, food was awful, both evening meal and breakfast.
Apparently he did not rekon much to the show itself, not many traders there, poor layout. The boat pool was too small, as even the model boats using it had difficulty in turning round, more of a 20 point turn, that a "hard over rudder".

Glad I'd waited for the Lemington show.
Best wishes.

Looking forward to things at the Norbeck. For all those that were asking, you can't get decent Fish & Chips in Blackpool centre but The Yorkshire Chippy just out of the center is pretty good. 😎
