 |
|
I am thinking of doing something a long the lines of 'STIA in the South' at Amberley Working Museum for next year's event calendar. Of course it wouldn't have that title. I'm hoping to meet up with the Museum Director at some point and see if he would give me approval for the event. I will then send out invites to the well known Toy Steam traders such as Steam4Fun and Forest Classics, then you get the general jist of it.
Would people from here be interested in coming if it got approval? Tell me of your thoughts and opinions (good or bad...)
Simon

I would love to go to any event like that but its a little too far for me to come. 
If you do go ahead with it I would also send invites to some Meccano clubs as Meccano and toy steam goes together so well.

That is a thought. I know someone who regularly attends shows in the South with a Meccano display

Come MM, I used to drive longer than that just to go to work on Monday morning a few years back. 
But to be fair on Mondays we had a late start 9:30am instead of 7:30am.

It might be a two day event. If that were to persuade you?

| It's a great idea Simon, but then, surely the Old Kiln Toy Steam event is really the STIA in the south, pehaps it'd be better placed towards the end of the year so you don't cross paths? |

The idea was for it to be at a different time to all the other major Toy Steam events

Would that be the Sutton in Surrey? If so the Museum is roughly 50 miles from Sutton
