I remember the previous swapmeet at Milton Keynes being advertised along with a link to a map and directions.

I could really do with something like it again for this time as I cant remember for the life of me how to get there

I would be grateful for any help...even the address of the venue would do so I can then get directions off the internet.

Thanks in advance

Cue someone with latest NSCC newsletter and a scanner...

Was a bit slow renewing this year, whoops!

From memory something like

Woughton Campus

Leadenhall

Milton Keynes

Hope it might help somehow!

Mr.M

 

[David Lawson]

The address is Seckloe Sports Centre, Woughton Campus East, Leadenhall (Off H7), MK

All I know is that each year I drive into MK and eventually get to one of the roundabouts which crosses H7 and then look for the college signs - I always get there without getting lost...somehow

You are a better man than me Sir. I always get lost

 

[GBMark]

Thanks for the info !

Cant afford to drive around looking for it...I will have my girlfriend with me so I need to get straight in and straight back out again with the minimum of fuss

.....although if the truth be told I know she enjoyed it last time...apparently it was attended by a better class of person than the football programme fairs I occasionally drag her along too

For further directions I recommend:

AA Route Planner Very helpful - also saves forking out for the Microsoft version.

MultiMap

I kept missing it last time, always end up driving up & down the road parallel, pesky road (grid) system they use in MK.

Tis' easy once you have sussed it, it's just that I haven't...

 

[Scott B]

It is like Brigadoon and Shangri La, a mythical haven that cannot be found unless it wants to be.

Now, are we wearing red carnations to identify each other or just assuming everyone there is a SlotForum member?

Does anyone know what time the meet starts? And how much is it to get in? And finally is there details of joining the NSCC there and then?

Cheers

Mark

10.30am, about £3 and yes usually you can join (which means paying you annual fee then) on the day.

Given that some non-slot specific meets can be up to £5 it's good value and you get 12 newsletters to read too.

Thanks for the info Scott.

Will there be alot of dealers there as well as a good second-hand section?

The reason I ask is because this would be my first 'Slot Exclusive' swapmeet - most of the time I accompany my father to more Model Railway biased swapmeets, but never turn up much in the way of slot cars.

Mark, the last MK swapmeet was great, loads of tables with well established dealers among them. It is a great opportunity to see all those new models in the flesh before parting with your cash. This time around I am looking forward to getting a close look at the new Vanquish F1 JPS and Lucky Strike Lotus before deciding whether to buy or not.

I am sure you will be impressed and also be a few quid lighter in the wallet by the end of it

 

[gecko]

Cheers Mark, I was wondering if there might be a slim chance of some Team Slot Stratos making an appearance, but I don't think so. Anyway plenty more to choose from.
