Fareham Exhibition

Oh dear. There was a little niggle about this and I can't remember what. However after a bit of an exhibition visit dessert and a tie up with some other business, a trip was taken. Lets start with the positives: Good spread of layouts with only the European box left unticked. My stand out for obvious reasons was the above. This has been problematic in previous viewings, but yesterday was running very smoothly and felt like a busy urban station. I also wanted to take a look at Elbow Lane (below) which is a bit of an internet star. Everything else was mid-to-high quality and trade was the expected good mix.

The negatives: Appalling entry system done via very unpredictable computer and churning out festival-style wristbands. Total overkill for a single price arrangement and a queue to match. This mostly made up of gentlemen of the expected age holding the right amount of cash. Not a great start. Then the door guards to a single basketball court with one way in/out doors and, even fairly early in the weekend, a poor customer attitude. The price for all this was a high end £12. For that I want something fairly special on a regional local club show.
