Today Stonehenge Modellers attended the annual IPMS Abingdon show at Larkmead school. This is our final show of the year as a display so I was looking forwards to a good show. After picking up Brian and a blast down the A303 & up the A34 we were soon at the venue and set up in record time.
The show was divided into two halls as well as a lobby entrance with a good supply of clubs and vendors present. They also had dedicated catering as well which looked to be very popular and reasonably priced. The halls had very good lighting and the space for traders and clubs was well laid out. A competition was also being run for those who wished to enter.
From the start we were kept very busy chatting to the public and fellow clubs and before I knew it lunchtime had arrived. This period is usually quiet at most shows and this was the case here. After an hour the visitor numbers increased again and we had plenty of interest in our display.
I had a thoroughly enjoyable day talking to some very interesting people and looking at some excellent club displays and models. Finally come packing up time we both agreed it was an excellent show and one we will certainly be coming back to next year, a perfect end to our display year too. A big thanks to the chaps at IPMS Abingdon for putting on the show and all the hard work that takes to make an enjoyable show for everyone.
