Did not know one had been announced yet let alone cancelled. I've not seen any published dates. I'm assuming you mean THE Model Engineer Show at Sandown.

Last December's Model Engineer Exhibition at Sandown brought together an exceptionally impressive display of the finest engineering models. Even so, we want to make the exhibition even better in future, so we plan to make some exciting changes for the next exhibition. These include a review of the location and timing of the event, and for practical reasons this means we will have to postpone the next Model Engineer Exhibition to 2016.

We hope to make more information available soon, suffice to say that some of the ideas under discussion are quite exciting.

A formal announcement will be made in due course.

There will not be a Model Engineer Exhibition following the established format at Sandown Park in 2015. There may be an exhibition in 2015 – of which news will be made public at an appropriate time – and we are in the planning stages of an all new MEX 2016 but, at the moment, there is no further announcement to make.

So 2016 ?

That gives me about a year to get the floor cleared ?

Possible ?

Anyone got a decent brush [ and skip ] ??

If not I vote West Midlands.

M6 / M5 / M42 That's an area lacking a show.

Thinking father west than south, Chris.

Problem with the Midlands show since it moved from Donington is that it's in the middle of nowhere.

Timing is also relevant. For years we have been told by organisers that a summer show is out as people are away on holiday but I don't see this with the ME fraternity. Most are retired or dead [ or close to it ] and they can take holidays at any time.

Harrogate is beginning of May then Bristol is next in late August, nothing in between.

> Pity it had to be announced (apparently) at the SMEE rather than on here.

The exhibition is put on as a partnership between My Time Media and the SMEE, it would be much worse etiquette to make a public announcement before informing our partners.

Having been to many exhibitions at Leamington, I find it easy to get to from most directions and the amenities such as food and parking are good. I hope any alternative venue is fit for purpose, that is it has not been designed for something else and pressed into service for model engineering purposes.

So is the South Coast, lots of retired folks down here. Bournemouth is nice …

Reading could be a bit too close to Guildford especially if it were moved to the summer but near enough for me.

Hi Engine Builder.

You may be looking at a cached version of the page, Diane updated it yesterday.

Or do you mean the Model Engineer Exhibition website? That can't be updated until next week, just because Diane and I work all weekend, it doesn't mean the rest of MTM don't get the seventh day…

Bear in mind we not planned to make the announcement yet.

Neil

Thanks Jason,

See if you can 'spot the difference' now?
