graeme jones Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 It's the LMA show at Much Marcle this weekend, 3 & 4 September. There's been no mention of it on this forum, which is unusual. Also, the LMA do not appear to have published a list of traders or pilots, which they have in previous years. Looking at the "usual suspects" on their sites, I've only been able to find one, Nexus, that will have a stand. Anyone know if it's worth going?

Phil 9 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Slec will have a stand for certain and I'm pretty sure als hobbies and balsa cabin will be there I went last year and enjoyed it. I hope to go on Sunday what is the weather forecast like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Green Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 For me its a no-brainer, Its only 30 mins away and I'm an LMA member so hopefully there will be a concession on the gate. It was the last show of the season for me (but now we have the new Ragley hall one to look forward to) Its a quiet, low key show, but always worth a visit.

graeme jones Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 Phil - SLEC was one I looked at, but it's not shown on their list of shows - **LINK** and I don't remember seeing them there for a few years. Graeme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Gorham_ Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 There is a full traders list on the LMA website in the LMA Shows for 2016 board under the thread name "Much Marcle Traders". Been up since 17 August hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 9 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I had an e-mail today from them reference an order I made. It said my order would be dealt with next week as they were at much marcle over the weekend Posted by graeme jones on 02/09/2016 16:48:13: Phil - SLEC was one I looked at, but it's not shown on their list of shows - **LINK** and I don't remember seeing them there for a few years.

graeme jones Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 Alan - sorry, still can't find it, only **LINK** which as far as I can see has no list of traders. The 2015 list is still easy to find, but not this year's. Perhaps I'm just being a bit thick? Can you post a link for the list you found? Phil - OK. Have to assume they'll be there then!

Essjay Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Graeme, you need to look at the events list in the LMA forum (link at the top of the page you linked to). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanN Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Yep the LMA forum lists the traders - copied and pasted below ..... I'll be going Sunday, meeting with Dad and hopefully an uncle and a cousin or two. Much Marcle is one of my favourites. Usually has a great programme and a really relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Not one of the biggest shows, but all the better for that imo UPDATED 29/08/16 A B Military Als Hobbies Balsa Cabin Cambrian Model Co DB Sport & Scale Ltd De Maniss UK Ltd Esoaring Gadgets UK Falcon Aviation Flyteam Flying Tech ltd Grabit Adhesives Inwoods Kingfisher Aviation Lena's Books & Toys LMA Liquid Weld Microaces Ltd Midlands Air Ambulance Model Technics Ltd Old English Sweets Peak Tools Propguy Puffin Models Ltd R C Heliguru Real Model Pilots SLEC Solutions Southern Modelcraft SSD Sunglasses The Drone Worx Traplet Turbine Solutions W E Models Whites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme jones Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 Essjay and Ian -thanks for the info. I didn't even realise that there was an LMA forum. Strange that Nexus isn't on the list, their's being the only one I could find that shows attendance on their own show calendar. That's more traders than last year I think, which is good. Looks like rain on Saturday but dry Sunday, so I should be there 10:00 Sunday. Graeme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanN Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 A very enjoyable Sunday at Much Marcle today, plenty of variety Does anyone know what size / scale / origin the multiple Fokker DR-1s were - the Flair kit design perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymaz Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Despite Saturday being a washout Sunday turned it around. I flew until about 5pm with Niel Tidy. What a privilege and such a great guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanN Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Was that your Rothmans Stampe flying with N.T.'s Tiger Moth towards the end of the afternoon, then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymaz Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Yes! The trouble was when I took off one of the u/c legs fell out of its tube...that's why the landing was a bit messy....no damage done. Also flew my Wot4 XL around with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanN Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Ah, would have said hello if I'd realised. I wouldn't worry re the landing. Conditions were a bit breezy and bumpy, we saw plenty worse, and for some of us "a bit messy" counts as quite a good landing providing the model is still in one peice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme jones Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 Had a good time at the show despite the less than perfect weather, although I believe it was much worse Saturday and overnight for the campers. Here are a few pics. for those who missed it - Balsa Cabin and Slec were selling their usual selections of wood and accessories, while there seemed to be great interest in Traplet Plans. Perhaps ARTF's are losing ground to traditional building? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme jones Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 This was my only flying shot that was any good - It did a fine solo aerobatic display but was rather noisy at full throttle, in common with many large models. This Wellington flew with a Lancaster and a Flying Fortress of similar scale. while this Thunderbolt was one of my favourites. We had a few gripes - 1. Not enough toilets. 2. Why do people insist on dragging their dog(s) around events like this when the animals are so obviously distressed? 3. The £10 pp entry fee is a bit high for what is a relatively small show, but as the profits are being donated to the Air Ambulance Service I suppose it is reasonable. See you there next year Graeme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 9 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I was disappointed with the swap meet tent nothing but tat when I got there but I guess you need to be there early for that I think there were sufficient toilets. I did not have to queue for one anyway. the trade tents were very busy but between them I managed to get everything I went for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big THANKYOU to all who organised, ran and generally helped to put on a great weekend for pilot and spectator alike Edited By cymaz on 05/09/2016 16:57:02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See you there next year Graeme Dogs in distress? I've never seen that in 25 years, even when pyros are going off. Its very unusual to see dogs in distress at model flying shows!
