As a newbie truck modeller I am intrigued about this event.If anyone can tell me when it`s on and what to expect.Are there full size and models.Will there be models and traders.Any info.much appreciated. Cheers,Andy.

It's at the Heritage Motor Museum, Gaydon, just a short distance from J12 of the M40,
One pf the best model shows in the UK if not Europe, specifically for truck models, and models of transport related subjects in all scales,
Traders are there again catering to most scales
A classic truck show as well as admission to the motor museum itself,
One normally finds that there is not enough time in the weekend
I cannot recommend it enough, this year marks my 21st year at this event, most as an exhibitor, here at Gaydon and it's previous venue Rugby

Hoping the weather is fine this year! Andy, there are several threads on here showing images from previous years, full size and the model show :thumbsupup:

It`s a MUST, Andy. The first thing that`s ringed on a new calendar every year. :thumbsupup:

Ron
For anyone not on TMW forum this is what Ashley has posted :-
Hi all:
I shall be posting this year's invites and festival information out by the end of this week.
PLEASE fill in relevant forms and return to me ASAP !
If there is anyone who has not exhibited at Gaydon before and fancies coming along this year, you will be very welcome.
Please email or call me for more information.
The festival will be a FULL 2 DAY EVENT - as per last year.
There will be NO "Sunday only" exhibitors.
There may be a chance to exhibit on Saturday only, but please contact me to discuss this.
This year there will be a very small increase in competition entry fees.
It will be £1.50 per entry.

cheers Davie

unfortunately not Davie. trying to accommodate different fractions of the forum over the last couple of years caused us more trouble than it was worth. this year we will be staying with the members that was with us the previous years. we will try to help in anyway we can and there will be plenty of forum members about over the weekend so you won't be on your own. in fact i think Rhys is attending on his own this year so perhaps you two could get together ???
-
I was thinking of showing this year :tongue: :thumbsupup:
-
Just got email from Ashley with all the forms. My table is with this already reserved :thumbsupup:
-
Davie, if you get the application forms we can always ask Ash to put you somewhere near us (if you want!)

There's a truck show (1:1) coming up in Victoria in a fortnight, it's combined with a Hotrod & Ute show. I was very tempted to enter my ute (which I've shown on here once before), originally I was going because Auslowe are running the model show that is part of it also...
Unfortunately, because I only found out about it a week ago, I can't get accommodation within a 50km radius of the place :sad:
