Romanway Model Show Sunday 14th September

[wldnas]

OK its been a very long time since I've posted anything on this forum but I need to get the word out about an event that is happening soon...

Its the annual Romanway Model Flying club show that is held at the Romanway sports & social club in Cowley near oxford, its situated just off the approach road to the BMW Mini car plant in cowley.

They have been holdind models shows at this venue for a number of years and I have attended a few of them myself in 2005-2006 but not last year as I was doing something else on that day.

I have some pictures of the 2006 event in my showroom here: http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.a...1518&sid=37

The event is held on the site which has the main building with a events hall that usually has some sales stalls, a few model railway layouts and a Robot wars display, in the main playing field you have the Model planes doing their displays throughout the day, there is a water tub with model boats going round, there is usually a large display or RC tanks including the really BIG ones andthere are some more sales stands and in the corner of the field we have the area where we normally set up our RC car display.

Its an area of short cut grass, and there is a single thin rope barrier that keeps the public back, they give us a long hose pipe with which to lay out a track outline on the grass and we run the cars around on that, we also have a number of tables at the front where we display the cars that we have bought to show and some of the cars we run as well, we also bring the odd item to try and sell though you don't always get a sale.

Its a nice friendly atmosfere, we do have to share certain radio frequences with the Boat & tank boys but genarally it runs well.

Now usually its only a few TC people who know of this event and there is room for more to attend, you do need to get there quite early so you can get your car onto the field to unload it, also you can get in without paying that way if you just tell them you are with Tamiyaclub and the RC car display.

If anyone is interested in going please drop me a Email and I will give you the details on how to get there
