Cosford Model Show on the 5th of April has been cancelled

[AlanG]

As per the title.

Saw this on another forum and thought i would pass on the info for anyone thinking of going.

[JR]

A sign of things to come I fear Alan.

Think we were lucky to have the Peterborough Show.

Feels sorry for all concerned, so much effort goes into planning a show, for the traders loosing sales, and the many modelers who have aimed at having a build completed to show.

[Gern]

Oh b****r! My only planned outing this year. Only to be expected though and better safe than sorry. Does anyone know if it will be re-scheduled for later this year, or do we have to wait until next year? The show's website only says it's cancelled.

A shame but definitely better safe than sorry. I had already decided to give it a miss in the current situation. I made up for it though - ordered one of those RP Cutter from John :smiling5:

S**t, that means I'll have to buy my own Tunnocks, Eccles Cakes and worst of all, I'll have to source some coffee stirrers elsewhere!

Seriously fellas, I'll miss the crack and banter - Not to mention a certain 'Builder's Bum!...... :flushed::sick:

[yak face]

I was afraid this might happen . I’m gutted , it’s a yearly scale models get together that I always look forward to , seeing my mates from the forum and getting some nice goodies from under the tables ! Y ( this is the nearest to a builders bum emoji I can manage !) I’ll miss the banter too and of course the tunnocks ( I would have remembered them this year , honest ) I do hope they re schedule it for another time .
Cheers Bob the builder Y

Yes, I was looking forward to it too, but unlike Ron I won't miss anyone's bum!

So what are we going to do instead of the "Under a fiver at Cosford GB"?

We’ll have to think of something Pete , and the winner will be awarded the inaugural Tunnocks trophy .

What can you make out of a £5 note?

[Gern]

What can you make out of a £5 note?

"I can make a hat or a brooch or a pterodactyl ......"

Bonus points if you tell me where that comes from.

[Gern]

'tis indeed a real shame as it's always a good day and THE highlight of my year. I still don't know if it's been cancelled or postponed though. The website says it has informed all the traders and clubs involved, so have they given any more info to them? Some of you guys are involved with clubs at the show- have you heard anything?

£5 or less off ebay (excluding postage) ??

How about £5 or less from any source (still excluding as postage as you can't get much more than an envelope sent for less than a fiver nowadays!) where we can see price tags or receipts?
