Plymouth Model Show - 25 June 2022

[arj]

Here we go again ... Third time lucky ... we hope .....

As previously - Traders' tables will be FREE at this show.

The location of the Guildhall can be found on Google Maps using the following postcode:- PL1 2BJ
(The poster shows PL1 2AA. This will still work, but PL1 2BJ places the Guildhall more centrally on the map).

Correction dated 07 April 2022
Clubs displaying and Traders can take advantage of parking adjacent to the Guildhall (not the Guildhall Car Park ... see car park details below), at a nominal cost (providing you arrive early enough).
Parking in front of the Guildhall will not be allowed.
Parking at the Guildhall has been curtailed due to works in connection with Guildhall renovations. A number of car parks can be found within walking distance (I have also noted car parks with an all-day facility in post #3 below).

Car Parks generally can be found at:-

Now that the show is just over two months away, it’s time for a reminder.

Unfortunately, we have just been informed that we have lost our regular parking facility adjacent to the Guildhall.
Parking at the Guildhall has been curtailed due to works in connection with Guildhall renovations, and I have therefore amended details in my original post above regarding available parking.

The following car parks have an all-day ticket option:-
Derry’s Cross Car Park
Theatre Royal Car Park
Western Approach Car Park

We still look forward to seeing you all on 25th June.

Cheers,
Andrew

That's a shame any chance you can let us know the cost for all day in each car park ?

Hi Kevin,

They're all listed in the link under "Car Park costs etc., can be found at:-" in my first post.
I've kept it all as per the Local Authority website, just in case they play sneaky, and change things.

Cheers,

Given the number of pull outs due to the parking situation, the show still remained as good as ever.
It was nice to meet up with a couple of PF members, Trevor (tjfromdevon) and Ian (tock24), both of whom were successful in the competitions.
I did not take any photos at the show, but I did come across this video on YouTube (that was quick off the mark):-



We will not be able to use the Guidhall next year due to the commencement of refurbishments starting in June 2023, but we will be looking into alternative venues to tide us over until we can get back again.

Cheers,
Andrew
