August Bank Holiday 2007 was the year of two rival shows, :confused: :confused: however, organisers of EPIC 2007 were A Model World, a mail-order trade company. The show comprised of just one hall, as the other club decided to support the Risley show, politics!!! Im NOT going to get involved!

here are the pics

I didnt know I had built that Lindberg Tuna Clipper blurred!
Model boats do look different from down there, don't they?

yep, even the little ones look HUGE. oh I have modified the railings on the yacht (see mayhem lidl boat thread), oh Mark (AMW) gave me a University Club for helping clear the room up

thnaks guys, due to politics, there was actually a second show being held on the same weekend just 20 mins drive away, however that had more clubs less traders, I didnt go that one though.

The leisure centre does have a swimming pool BUT it was closed due to a faulty roof

Glad I got to meet you man, sorry I couldn't make the second day (family problem).

Southampton was great, can't wait to start work on mine. I've put a new video up on youtube, just me having a sail at the boat museum (Raddle Wharf).
