East Riding of Yorkshire Model Show, 2nd September

[Aircav]

Spotted this in the IPMS mag, the show is at Driffield Showground, Kellythorpe, Driffield, East Yorkshire, YO25 9DN on the 2nd September. Its the first show Bridlington & Wolds Scale Model Club has put on so I'll try and get my local club booked for some space.

It be rude not go since I moan about the lack of shows locally.

For anyone staying over, there's some accomdation in Driffield, more in Bridlington only a short drive away.  There's also a fair bit going on in the local area that'd be of interest to modellers, the bunker at RAF Holmpton, Yorkshire Air Museum, Fort Paul, National Rail Musuem at York, Streetlife Museum in Hull, Scarborough Castle, Jorvik Viking Centre, wartime enplacements at Spurn Point.

If anyone is, give me a shout & I can probably arrange to meet up.

I will probably go - I missed this thread the first time.

Mossie, the bunker at RAF Holmpton is closed this year because the main ventilation fan broke down and needs expensive replacement. Considering it's been working for 50+ years that's not too bad!

I would attend this show if I wasn't going to Croatia on a charity drive.

Ah, thanks Nick!  I was hoping to go up there again with a mate this summer, he's just moved a short distance from there.  I guess it'll have to be next year.

Like you say, not too bad service for a fifty odd year old fan!  Just a shame it's shut down the museum for the whole year.  I've a little experience with air con systems, that would have to be a pretty huge fan to do enough air changes to prevent contamination of the air supply and will be a major job to replace.  I love the pics on the news page of all that fifties plant and switch gear!

I think I may be there.  There was talk about it at wor club a few weeks back.

IPMS Stafford are going....

[Radish]

Not long now....whoooop, whooooop!!

[The Wooksta!]

IPMS Tyneside has a stand so a small scale outing for The Alternate Spitfire display is in order.  Probably the ones closest to hand, ie Spitefuls.

Looking forward to it.  Hope the cafe is good - it'll have to go a long way to beat the one at Darlo.

Unfortunately it's coinciding with a leaving do the night before for a mate who's heading overseas.  Haven't been out with these lads in some time, but when we were younger they tended to be heavy sessions!  I'll have to see how I go as I can't drink like that anymore...

A pint of water when you get back home and you'll be ok in the morning.

And avoid kebabs.  You're better off eating a tin of Pedigree chunks.
