fergie 699 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 asked the same question in the general section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike R Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 For me its Toytrac this year and next year its Spalding in April Its also depends which is nearer to you to travel to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDC Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I would say it would all depend on what you were looking to buy If your after run of the mill stuff then you'll get it at both if you want something rare or custom built then Spalding is probally your better bet ;) Although the atmosphere at Toytrac is really good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 why not do what many other forum members here do , attend spalding for the spring show & toy-trac for the autumn show that way you get to go to both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leakeyvale Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 why not do what many other forum members here do , attend spalding for the spring show & toy-trac for the autumn show that way you get to go to both. That's me! Went to Spalding in April (and will do so next April, all being well) but will be at Toytrac in October. Spalding means an overnight stop for me whereas Toytrac at Wincanton is only 45 minutes drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These two Quotes sum up my thinking too. Spalding does have more convo/built stuff but the venue and the atmosphere is totally different in a positive way at Toytrac, it's just an ace weekend .

intey 434 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 which would have the most layouts? i always like to see a good selection and a show with a few decent layouts is hard to beat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Toytrac has more and this time has more again. Penrith is mean't to be good for layouts too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leakeyvale Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 According to the website they are extending Toytrac into the function rooms this year, so as Tris says, more again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leakeyvale Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Boys, boys! A little more decorum please especially as you are both Forum Mods and should be setting a good example (like not going off topic) . At Toytrac you will all get a hug if you are good. There may even be sweeties! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
