SPN Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 An extra 45 minutes added to a four hour journey, each way. (Assuming the Brexiteers don't put border infrastructure at Newry) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Assuming the Brexiteers don't put border infrastructure at Newry) Unfortunately we couldn't find a suitable venue in the Moira/Lisburn area. We appreciate everybody who travels great distances to the Moira Model Show. We hope you will make the trip in 2019. Or even better come for the two days and bring a diorama. The new venue is only about 15 mins from Belfast International Airport and there is plenty of accommodation nearby so it is ideal for anyone who wants to visit the show from the UK.

Harder for a return journey but not much further than Nutts corner and did that return in a day. One positive thing is that it looks to be a more modern building and will have heating ??

I did the run to Nutts Corner for the 100 year celebrations this time two years ago (is it really that long ago?) and I just about survived. May be worth looking at staying overnight.

It was a very impressive diorama but requires a lot of work getting it to the show. JMC did an amazing job building and bringing it to the show for two years. It would be great to see it at the show again especially as it's Kane 60th anniversary. Then again you wouldn't know what JMC has in the pipeline. Hopefully we will see some new dioramas as there is plenty of room for new displayers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be fooled by all the fear mongering crap around Brexit, it will work out just fine for us after some initial "adjustment"...…….we are not saying goodbye to our European friends just the unelected bureaucrats and their hidden agendas who run the show from Brussels! I would wait 6 months until the pounds drop against the euro has been well and truly reversed and then buy from abroad at a good discount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
