Thanks for this - my apologies to you and all the customers & dealers who attended for not replying before but last week was not very 'satisfactory' and things got left.
It was a good show - we could have used more visitors but it was worthwhile - in these days of Pestbook & eBy, events like this are still helpful - enabling us all to meet and discuss.

Normally I have to ask 'Shall we do it again next year?' but I think everyone assumed we will be doing it in 2027.
So ... there will be an event in 2027 but we did 'talk' about 'date' & 'location' - I am thinking about this and will let people have some thoughts in due course.
I only bought one 'new' model - one of John Ellis' 'surplus' items - which I've put somewhere ...

I think the next 'Ship Show' is the WSS event in Liverpool on 26th September (a Saturday). I plan to be there with a (hopefully) refreshed display, and I think Clive Newman (DNC) will also be there. Other models can be found on sale. (Apols if I've missed anyone booked).

Anyway - here's to L'pool and a mild winter!
