to the Newark Showground on Oct 14th-it is walking distance from the Newark Air Museum which is well worth a visit.

Nottingham (I will probably get to this one!)

I've copied this from ****erscale:

Lincoln and Newark Model Expo 2007 – AKA “The Southwell Show”

As many UK modellers will already be aware, this summer’s flooding has seriously affected many venues – among them Southwell Racecourse in Nottinghamshire, which has for many years been the site of the annual Lincoln and Newark Model Expo..

Uncertainty about the availability of the racecourse, and then the necessity of finding a new venue, has meant that until recently, this year’s Lincoln and Newark Model Expo was in serious doubt, but we are pleased to announce that a new venue has been found.

Accordingly, the Lincoln and Newark Model Expo 2007 will take place on its original date – 14th October – at the Newark Pavilion of the Newark Showground, which lies just off the A46 north of Newark.

The showground is a large site with many facilities, and this year we are sharing the facility with an ‘Autojumble’ event. Access to the show is via the Red Gate only. If you try to enter via any of the other gates, you are likely to be charged admission to the Autojumble. Admission to Lincoln and Newark Model Expo 2007 is, as usual, free.

The roads leading to the site are likely to be very busy, and visitors are advised to avoid the periods 7.30 am to 8.30 am and 11.00 am to 12.00 am, when, we are advised, congestion is likely to be at its most acute.

Details of the venue may be found at the Showground’s own website - http://www.newarkshowground.com/.

For further information please contact me at ian AT lincolnmodelclub.co.uk, or on 01522 804661. Be advised however, that I am sequestered in darkest Suffolk, beyond the ken of mere mortals until after 19th August.

Cheers,
