Andy Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I've been told there's going to be a very good turn out of model displays and exhibits so fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
convo Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 Yes my fingers are crossed for customers as there seems a big lack of interest and a bit flat or is it just me ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike R Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Yes this time of year is very flat lack of spare money to spend on models, increased cost for models are also a big factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

convo Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 Well John at least we can go out for some grub on Saturday day night I am probably looking forward to that more than the show ,,I put this show on my Facebook and even that has had a poor response ,, really strange because every other year there is a positive vibe on nearly every farm model show or at least comments one way or another,,maybe that the show is so well advised people know about it ,,, strange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractorboyjules1977 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I hope to be there ! Weather depending , havent been for a couple of years ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Hoping to head down as its not to far from Uni. I don't really know why theres a lacking interest in the show but one possibility that I can see is a lack of human touch or family feel to it, any adverts I've seen make it look more like a business event than a hobbyist show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdeere6910 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I'm probably going to head across to it, always managed to pick up a few bits in previous years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheshire Farm Models Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 My reason for not attending isnt anything else apart from having to clear a back log of orders... As soon as one went out another came in so Im fully booked until March. Although everyone is aware of that it’s abit of a pain my end as I’m not sure I’ll make Spaulding. So I’ve decided to stop taking anymore customer orders and just focus on building stock for shows and online sales. So more wufflers, balers,, mowers..... etc etc. As I’m just not having the time to build enough to come out to shows to make it worthwhile. So next year yes definitely!

Cheshire Farm Models Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 And for me the best part of the job is meeting customers and others that are behind businesses etc... best place for that is shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
