Alexander Palace Show and rumours
No reports so did no-one else visit?
I went yesterday and thought it was very mediocre even by the variable standards of the BRM/Warners shows. Only layouts worth mentioning were Happisbrough (O), Rowlands Castle (OO), Widnes Vine Yard and Clutton (both EM)- Trade mostly ready to run pile 'em high sell 'em cheap merchants or over priced second hand with fewer specialists than ever
Two interesting rumours heard from exhibitors:
1: BRM/Warners are apparently planning another show in the Manchester area for next year but not clear if this is in addition to or replacing one of the existing shows.
2: Has Mike Cook - the long standing manager of the York show retired? - He is still listed as manager on the show's website but a couple of people said someone else was now running the show.
