No more Euro

[Bob Orr]

Guys there needs to be some calming down here.

Some of you are accusing unknown people of not looking listening or consulting you, why?.

If they are of us they will be reading all these pages...and others too.

I would not be telling you how I was negotiating if I was, until in place I had solid comnittments for.

1 the fully costed payments available and secured.

2 the display stands for the competition room which belong to someone else.

3 full Insurance and other cover agreed.

So......why should anyone declare their hand.

If you were doing the bargaining you would be no different.

I also, like Ian know who, but it's a sensitive area, maybe not Brexit level, but please respect their right to privacy, they will go public if it's worthwile doing so.

Hear hear. This is a very significant financial cost/negotiation/time for anyone contemplating putting on a Euro replacement. This is not going to happen overnight. Let's give the people concerned some room and I am sure they will make the details public when the time is ready. Why would they not? Cheers, Bob

I have always wanted to attend and plan to attend in 2017 if its still on / badger

 

[badger]

EURO MILITAIRE IS A SHOW THAT I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO ATTEND,BUT IT WAS A BIT FAR TO GO,AND THE QUALITY OF THE MODELS WAS A BIT INTIMIDATING, AS THE STANDARD WAS SO HIGH, BUT I WAS GOING TO ATTEND NEXT YEAR. SURELY IF ENOUGH PEOPLE PAY TO ATTEND IN ADVANCE, THEREBY SHOWING THEIR COMMITMENT,THE SHOW CAN CONTINUE.

WHAT ABOUT HAVING THE SHOW IN YORK?- GOOD RAIL LINK./ BADGER

I think it is unlikely that any future euro will be anywhere other than Folkestone. Please be assured that the group putting the rescue attempt together have experience in this and are well aware of what needs to be done and the contacts to make it happen. There is lot of work needed behind the scenes but I am sure the organisers will announce their intentions as soon as possible. I am sure that we will all be prepared to support them whatever the final decision.

Despite Folkstone being run down IMO the name is linked with a top modelling show ...what ever it is called ..in the past and in the future .

Thanks for the words you put once everything is in place and what a task the team gave themselves so all credit to them , there will be a sigh of relief once the details are known that I am sure .

There are many folk both here on PF and other places to provide support in anyway possible as you rightly said

I woukd like to see more clubs being involved as well

looks like I might be going next year, hope so/ badger

The Folkestone show (whether it's called Euromilitaire again or goes by another name) needs to be back in the hands of enthusiasts (to borrow a slightly hackneyed old phrase "by modellers, for modellers") rather than in the hands of a faceless commercial company that has fingers in many pies and is basically only interested in "the bottom line". Fortunately, the hobby is not without those who have the all-important combination of enthusiasm, contacts and business savvy, so hopefully this whole saga will have a happy ending.

TOTALLY AGREE WITH EVERY WORD Steve

Well said Steve, I'm sure the guys that are now working on this will get it off the ground. I for one will look forward top seeing the results of their labour. and Ellie's Miniatures will support this group in anyway we can.

Cheers

[peedee]

Well said Ian and Kev.

The overall plus I get from all these pages, despite the few voices of negativity, and I am not criticising them, their opinion is as valid as anyone's, is the overwelming determination of more than a hardcore of people wanting this to succeed, and that the event is more important than the individual.
Only a team effort will see this come to fruition and I wish all well.
That is so gratifying to see......
I STILL haven't cancelled my hotel booking !
