ANYBODY HAVE OTHER BIG SHOW DATES 2011?

[NoelSmith]

Anybody have the dates IN 2011 for other mainstream model shows that are NOT IPMS Related like the following.
NATIONAL MODEL TRUCK SHOW and COMP at GAYDON.
EURO MILITAIRE and COMP at FOLKESTONE
BRITISH MODEL SOLDIER SOCIETY NATIONALS in LONDON?
MODEL ENGINEERING AND MODELLING SHOW.
The Model Armoured Fighting Vehicle Society Nationals gets publicised as John Tapsell is a member, so how about spreading the word about some of the other shows as well?
It would be nice to see these show dates listed in the IPMS magazine shows columns

Good idea Noel, but as usual it comes down to folks getting the info to us.
We work closely on the MAFVA dates (19th June for 2011 by the way), on a historic basis which remains from my days as BLO in the early 90's and have had a few chats on the two organisations working together even more than we already do. Other groups are less forthcoming - for example, BMSS used to attend the Nats but we haven't heard from them in recent years.
If anyone has contacts for any of these sorts of groups, could they be provided to Rob so he can add them to our databases and begin to make some contacts to share information?
Best for now

Hi Noel
Gaydon is over the weekend of June 11th & 12th, the same weekend as Le Mans (again).


Cheers

Thanks for the replies guys.
My post was by way of a memory jogger to anyone who goes to those other shows regularly to let John Tapsell the magazine editor know the 2011 shows so that he can insert them into the events column in the Magazine where all members can see the information rather than posting back to this thread.

Incidentally, I did not see any insertion for the Milton Keynes Modelkraft Show listed in the current IPMS magazine so I guess it must have been overlooked.
The show is on Sunday 6th Feb 2011 at the same venue as before, Statonbury Campus, North of Willen Lake, Milton Keynes
Iwill be emailing John to let him know about this event
