Euro Militaire

[smudger1960]

is there any truth that this could be Euro Militaire's last year,some fellow modellers have heard this might be the case,I would like to hear other people's views here on the planet to see if they can throw any light on the subject,I would certainly be very sad if this was the case,please assure me this is only a rumour

Sure do hope that this is just a rumour as I will probably not be able to get down this year. Was planning to but at the moment it's out of my control. Enjoyed the whole Euro weekend last year and all the other times I've been.

Blimey Guys,

If this goes and I do so hope it does not we will have nothing to get the international modellers over .

Wonder where this came from ?........has anyone actually approached the organising teams ?

Although its a shame its obvious that the number of international attendants have declined quite heavily since the haydays around the turn of the century.
Other shows grows and much of the new releases as well as shopping can be done on internet easily.

I certainly can leave Folkestone behind but not the exhibit, vendors and people, theyre the reason for going. And Im going this year again.

I've not heard anything recently, but these rumours have been knocking around for a while.

I hope not. I was there in 2012 and I loved the experience even having not won any award.What I liked most was the good chat I had with some fellow planet figure members... and the beer i drank with my friend Ken.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Just spoken to the organisers !!! The show is alive and well and this years is not the last !!!!!

They are planning lots and improving on what is already the worlds best event of the year.

Apparently there are the usual doom mongers doing what they do best !!!

Phew although I'll miss the next 2 it's good to know that it has a future........ but they really need to up their game and add value to the show.
To be honest if it wasn't for the meet up and fine company I think I'd rather go to SMC or Monte San Savino.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Whats SMC? And cant you come for the next 2 Euros if you get yourself an ankle monitor?

Cheers

Scale Model Challenge. http://www.scalemodelfactory.nl/smc.html
It's not the ankle monitor that's the problem Janne it's the ball and chain.
She's insisting I attend a wedding this year and that we do something special for our 40th anniversary next.
I've said we should wait for our 50th but she reckons I won't make it

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Whats more special than Euro Militaire? I bet she hasnt been to Folkstone.

Its for all the modellers. Not a game for the pro players.
And for my believe there is more socialising then at Euro, where it is more us knows us.

Does anyone think for a second I could risk her going

While we're on the subject of Euro, and for those who travel over the Dartford Crossing.
Please note that the toll booths have been replaced with number plate recognition, so you'll need to phone to make the payment.
I'll post more details later, but I thought I'd let you know well in advance.
