Perfect John, added to December Calendar above. 
  Visited this show on my way south a couple of years ago, A lovely friendly event with lots of great layouts and trade stands and great Christmas shopping nearby to keep SWMBO entertained while you visit the exhibition.  Definately recomended AND you earn browny points for taking her indoors shopping, turning her loose to browse the shops in piece which is what she REALLY wants  :thumbs . Just make sure you hook back up with her in plenty of time BEFORE the exhibition closes so you can drop hints about seeing that loco or WHU that you always wanted, at a very reasonable price,  If she has had a good time shopping she just MAY suggest that you pop back and get it ! After all it is nearly Christmas !  :cool wink

Cheers
