We will be using the venue’s large main sports hall allowing for more displays and traders and nice wide aisles. These premises will be far better for the show than last year's venue at Biggleswade which was very cramped and exhibits had to be spread over a number of smallish rooms. We have a total of 23 exhibits (see below) and 22 traders on 49 tables (we are now fully booked for space). Food and refreshment catering is on the mezzanine floor overlooking the hall. There is a public accessible gallery running around the hall on two sides so we hope many of the hundreds of visitors using this sports and leisure facility many will be tempted to come down and visit the show as well.
There will be 23 layouts and displays, as follows:

0 gauge electric tin plate layout pre & post-war with Britains figures & Triang Minic vehicles Dave Peasant
