In my opinion, the sensible idea would be for them to join forces and = host a BIG London exhibition actually in Central London where it is easily accessible to foreign visitors as well as public transport. alan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.alanstepney.info Model Engineering, Steam Engine, and Railway technical pages. I second that one big exhibition would be better in my opinion as well. = For the comment you read one thing comes always on top of the list, less = models. Both seem to be sick in the same bed. Lack of interest from us ME to = show our models.=20 So perhaps time for ME and TEE to join forces and come up with something = new something entirely different. Perhaps a suggestion to them, ask round = how we see things and let us make some suggestions and work from there. Don=92t know for London but over here nearly all major exhibition = locations which are big enough to host such an event are outside town. The big = ones over here are located near highway and have their own exit straight to a huge car park. No need to wind yourself trough endless narrow blocked up country lanes.=20 I have a love and hate relationship with Dorset which is by far the = worst I know. I like the location of Sandown. I stay in a B&B and from there its all = back road which brings me within =BC mile from the parking lot. Bad thing is = the timing as the lady of the B&B throws me out on new years night which = means spending that night on an empty ferry. It=92s so empty you wonder if = there is indeed someone at the helm.=20 Have not been to Alexandra but I booked a 3 day stay so I should be able = to find it in the allotted time. Public transport this time. Regards Wilfried Vermeiren http://users.skynet.be/modelbouw.wilfried MODEL ENGINEERING DISCUSSION LIST.
