Easy..... 1) Get IPMS membership. That way I don't have to sit in my car for 2 hours between getting there early enough to park and getting in. 2) Go on Saturday. To get the bargains 3) Double my budget!!! Altho, to be fair, had I known you could join IPMS in the foyer, I would have done that!!!

Annexe (i) Help out on somebody's stand so's you get immediate and unlimited access from the Friday evening and there's always somewhere to sit. |

That involves me having to stay over, which cuts into stash buying funds. Nice idea tho..... |

My first visit too. My lessons are: 1) Make it obvious you are going so you can meet up with forum members (It was great to catch up with Andy). 2) Try not to focus too much on spending money and getting a bargain as there is stuff to look at. 3) Being a IPMS member, you don't have to sit in your car and wait for the 10:00 start! 4) Take more money. 5) Take more money!

NO! Too much stuff in this country is Southern-centric already. My drive to telford is almost exactly 100 miles, most of it due South. It's far enough South already . . . Us poor Northerners have to get there as well. . .

Southend would be nice, perhaps in a hangar at the airport, only 9 miles for me. |
