I can't honestly see anybody running with this, but it would be interesting to see if it would work. <br /><br /><br /><br />Chris Fordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17126638769396595508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4293175883157636914.post-68640117778940639242019-09-10T16:17:48.299+01:002019-09-10T16:17:48.299+01:00As I've said before, if it's a club then I...As I've said before, if it's a club then I'll exhibit for expenses. If it's for a private individual making a profit, I want paying for my time. You don't drum for free at a show where the punters pay to come in, why should you play trains? <br /><br />The elephant in the room are magazine shows, but generally, people assume that they are putting back into the hobby. I'm also pleased that exhibitors at Warners shows are looked after very well with more meals than you get at club events. Not sure if I could be quite so sanguine if they weren't. <br /><br />The touring show is a good idea, but in the same way a touring theatre production pays the cast, why shouldn't the exhibitors get paid and cover all their expenses, including building the layouts?
