Hi Guys,

Just a little reminder to put this one in your diaries for next year. We are again hosting Figureworld West alongside the club show, at Sir Stanley Matthews Academy, Blurton, SOT and it promises to build further, on this year's success.

I will post further details as we get things together, but will look forward to meeting old and new faces again, next year.

Book me in as well Steve please.

Book him in next to us then Steve, his droning on and on keeps me awake nicely, and saves money on a carer.

I'll be fine thanks....I shall ask Tom.

Me too please, hopefully ?

Best wishes, Gary.

Cheers Gary - it'll be great to see you there!

Hopefully I'll make it again.

Nice one, Ralph - look forward to seeing you again

After a successful booking drive at the recent shows, we now have over 40 clubs booked in for our show next year, so it is measuring up to be a big one! We have secured more space to exhibit, will be hosting Figureworld West, have more traders attending, as well as demos and re enactors. We look foward to seeing as many people as possible and hope that it all pans out to be a roaring success!

Hope to see you there!

Well guys, March will be upon us before we know it - the floor plan is coming together, traders booked, 40 plus clubs confirmed, more space booked to fit it all into and re enactors sorted - just the task of setting up the tables and getting everyone in and parked up to worry about!!

I hope some of you can make it - it would be great if we could smash last year's footfall.

many thanks and hopefully see you in March

Hi Guys - for those who are coming to the show and wish to enter the comp, here are the rules and classes straight from our website,

As part of our show we always offer a FUN competition. Following on from the success of last year’s competition we are hoping to have another amazing competition. We are always open to feedback, and have thought carefully about what we would like to see in a competition at any club. Hopefully, you will find the changes beneficial as well.

Our judges last year stated that the standard of entries was very high and they had a difficult time picking the winners for each category.
Let’s see this continue
Competition Rules

1. Entries in to the competition will be anonymous, as it is a judgement on individual models.
2. Models are to be entered for judging before 12 noon. Any models bought along after maybe turned away dependant on the organisers wishes on the day.
3. The judges’ decisions are final; any ill will directed at judges will not be tolerated. The competition is intended to be fun, and to show off your model.
4. All creators of the model must be named on the entry form.
5. Any model not securely attached to its base must be marked clearly with the words ‘model unsecured’ so that accidental damage is avoided if the model is moved.
6. The organisers reserve the right to move any model and its base in order to make more room or to photograph once placed by the competitor.
7. While every effort will be made to make sure your models are returned to you in the same condition they were placed into the competition, accidents do happen, and judges cannot be held responsible if a model is damaged.
8. A junior modeller is under 16, and can enter any category should they choose to.
9. As the junior category is judged independently, any junior, even those of the club can enter.
10. Results will be announced as early as possible and we ask competitors not to remove your models before 3.30pm so they can be photographed for publicity etc.
11. Any queries of rules must be put to the competitions organisers prior to judging.
12. Entering a model into any class will be deemed an acceptance of the rules.
13. Failure to adhere to the rules may result in disqualification and will be the decision of the organisers on the day.
14. Lastly please have fun! After all it is a hobby we all enjoy. No bad will is intended and so none is expected.

My Son has booked the day off from work so I will be coming again.

Nice one, Ralph - look forward to seeing you there!

You know, I used to like going to this show. But to be honest I'm put off by the figure scale category in the competition. When I see different scale categories for aircraft I fail to understand why there can't be seperate scales for figures too. As we all know there is so much difference in detail between a 30mm figure and a 120mm figure, so I personally don't understand why they are all lumped together in this way. For future events can't we have different scale categories for figures. This is just my opinion.
