smithy Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I have been told that plans are in place to have a Spalding show in October, also there is a remote possibility that one might take place before October ,depending on government guide lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

844john Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I suppose it’s difficult to fit shows around the farming calendar, I would have often liked to go to the early Spalding show but it falls right at lambing time! It’s nice to see an attempt to try and regain a bit of normality, I do agree that July is maybe not the most convenient time for those involved in agriculture, but then again I suppose when is!

0025 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I suppose moving from Springfield's will allow for better profit margins, I remember 10 years ago, when I was a young lad and usually ended up getting lost in a sea of people in the isles! 🤣 I am definitely planning to go as I always go to the spring show.

AndyB Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I hope that this is a 'to get back going' date, otherwise I will never be able to go again. I know several folks who work for me wont be able to go either. If it stays this date it would be a pity, as I can never get to any other shows. Totally understand the venue change, it will be a bit of a gamble as to how many will go until the world gets back to whatever 'normal' will be......

Tractorman810 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 its not just farming they have to fit into,its the venues other bookings as well, sadly right now, spalding just doesn't cost in for me ,needs a days holiday ,plus 2 nights hotel to make it worth going ,as its to far to travel back on the day, un less you leave early, then its a wasted day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this is to get us all back to thinking about normality, I have spoken with Colin today and he has not said this venue is permanant. As for timing, like others have said it won't suit all, but hey life is coming back, buying models is coming back oh and brochures too. We look forward to seeing collectors and friends and having the friendly banter with whoever can make it, stay safe. goodiestractor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenside MF Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 The more rural location seems a better setting for a model tractor show dare I say.I might go haven't had a jab yet though and I hate wearing those face masks for longer than ten minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not spoken to Colin lately , but last time i did he said that July would probably be a one off show and he would stick to April/October as long as he can book the venue , i believe that springfields is still being used as a vaccination centre at the movement, i might be hay making in July but hopefully i will see some of you there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I have still not spoken to Colin about this show but at the moment it is a one off event and spread out over a larger area so gov guidelines and social distancing can be applied , i now over shows make donations to really good courses out of any profits and i support this but as far as spalding goes i now Colin has had to dip into his own pocket on more than one occasion at past shows ,he is a collector of models himself and gets pleasure in organising these evets for us fellow model collectors, so i wish him all the best for this event and if i am not busy with hay i plan on supporting it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udimore Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I spoke to Colin on Monday and he said his phone had not stopped ringing as people were desperate to go to a show He assures all of us that their will be plenty of space for traders and punters and the covid guidelines will be the priority Have to congratulate Colin for finding a way to help us weirdos get back on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
