Big A Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Good Morning We are organising a model show in Aberdeen on Sunday 29th May 2011 at the Marriott Hotel Dyce. Open to the public from 10am till 4pm with trade and display stands. The show will incorperate Farm, Construction and Haulage Models. We are looking for anyone that wishes to trade or display at the show. Further details can be obtained from Bc, Brianih634 or Myself. This is a new event that we are hoping can become a annual event.

Andy Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Good news that Andy. I know there are plenty of people up in Scotland wanting another show in the area, so I am sure it will be every bit a success. Bill and I will ensure we give it a good run in the magazine anyway.

Andy, Big A's ( I had to use Andy user name since writing Andy Andy would have looked odd ;D ) wife Laurie has been quick off her mark and has already produced an excellent looking flyer in A5 size. Hopefully we can get the finished article to you this week and it would be really appreciated if you could give us a mention in the next Model Farmer magazine since we need to spread the word as much as we can for this new show which Andy has been the instigator. Bill Modified from A3 to A5 and well you know me I'm not good with numbers and could not tell an Audi A3 from an A5 ;D ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Falkirk's on next Sunday Bill,might be worth giveing McLaren a shout,http://mclaren-models.com/index.php?main_page=page_2 Regards Bill, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Good shout Joe I have just had Andy on the phone discussing the show and he tells me Laurie has a draft poster almost ready as well. It would be nice if we could email McLaren's with a flyer and poster and ask if they would display them at the event on Sunday 6th February 2011. I don't suppose it is aslarge as the December 2009 show was but well a bit of advertising down in that neck of the woods would not go a miss. Random thoughts again on advertising.Joe but if we sent you flyers you could deliver them as junk mail to your customers....but maybe that could be a case for instant dismissal ;D ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 That's a big no no Bill,free delivery,not a good idea,Scotmodel is still scheduled to take place early 2011,no date as yet, Regards Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Well you have to give me 10 out of ten for trying Joe....nothing ventured ...nothing gained as they say ;D Joking aside I fully appreciate what you are saying. I really enjoyed that show when I was down back in December 2009 and managed to pick up a couple of real mint in box Britain's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronan7051 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Guys, All I can say is ,this is brilliant!! I will definately be there and if any help is needed or anything I'm available, dont want to wish the year away, but what can I say, cant wait!!! I'm sure it will be a success. What about putting up a flyer in BA Stores if we can and also there is a few shops in turriff that sell models Im sure I could put a few up. Just a question, why dyce? (in the city?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Well thank you for your support Ronan since so far there is only Andy and his very supportive wife Laurie, Brian and myself and a friend of Andy called Steven who is also a member on heer (stevenm)...but don't quote me since I need to check [ On B A Stores I have already spoken to Alan Brownie on the phone and he said he would display a poster in the shop and place flyers on the counter. Alan is a real nice guy and we hope he will attend our show as well since we ensured the model show did not clash with the B A Stores working weekend which is always usually mid May. Well any advertising in Turriff would be nice Ronan...just email me your email address and I can send the flyer file and well the poster one as well when it becomes available. In answer to why Dyce in the City...well Laurie has been able to negotiate a deal with the Marriot Hotel for the Pitmedden Suite which is around 70 feet x 50 feet and we can also get tables in the entrance area. In addition there is ample free car car-parking and Dyce is easily accessible from both North and South...well it is the Oil capital of Europe ;) ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udimore Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Well done Andy for getting your concept off the ground Good luck mate and hope it works out for you as I'm sure it will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I've just marked up my calendar for my day's off for the year,was hopeing the 28th and 29th would have been one of them,but it's not,but seeing as it's a Sunday i should get up to Dyce,been a while since I ventured up the East Coast, Regards Joe.

BC Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 That would be good Joe. I must phone your pal Norman from Elgin this weekend to see if he will display that draglink of his. Would you be interested in exhibiting or would you purely be a spectator You should make Dyce in 2 to 2 and a bit hours from Kinross I would say Joe.
