I'll also be going - on Saturday .......

My tip would be to consider taking a good packed lunch that you can eat in the comfort of your car (assuming that you go by car!!). Catering arrangements (long queues and lack of inspiring menu) and seating arrangements (not enough seats for the number of punters) were not upto the high standard of the exhibition as a whole.

Two years ago I took a friend from Japan and we had to pay to get into the Dockyard (as well as into the exibition!!) to get access to a proper cafeteria with some decent food and ambiance..... Last year I complained about the standard of facilities to the stewards (answer: the Club has no control - it's all up to the caterers)....and took my own lunch!!

Spent a liitle more than you, Peter!! £117 with Winco (and saw you chatting to the guys on the MARC stand whilst getting my goodies), £71 with DC Kits (two DVDs and Express Models Cl. 170 DCC lighting kit), £30 with Chalk Garden Rail on a G-Scale Coal Hopper and £75 with LSWR Models and SPV Video for some books!! Hummed and harred about a Hornby Cl.60 Mainline at £60 from Signal Box but kept my plastic in my pocket.......

Did not try the catering.....took my packed lunch, retired to the car, turned on the aircon and had a good lunch in comfort.......
