This weekend the ‘Warley’ show is on. It will be different this year, no longer run by the Warley club, the slot has been filled by Warners Publications.

I’m there with Shelfie4 and helping me out will be James Hilton . It looks an excellent show, one or two ‘regular’ traders won’t be there, but most will. It’s always been a great run in to the festive season, and I think it’s well worth supporting as well as being a good social interaction between trade and us, the customers. Earlier this year there was much wailing that the hobby was in serious decline when both Hattons and Warley announced they respectively were closing and stopping the NEC show.

What we have seen this year are changes, and this show is one of them. We too will be ringing the changes. As the layout is ‘timeless’ in addition to my 70-80’s equipment, James is bringing more up to date Maritime Canadian stock from Beaverbrook, and we’ll ring the changes through the day. I’m looking forward to it, we’re stand 51L, please drop by and say hello!
