ME Exhibition @ Olympia Postponed

Nov 11, 2006 15 Replies

I understand that the Model Engineering Exhibition due to be held at Olympia at the end of December 2006 has been postponed to a date as yet not revealed. So if you were travelling be aware.

Why?

Not that I had any thought of going. Went to London earlier this year, once in 10 years is enough these days ;-)

It's certainly not on the list of events at the Olympia website. Seems

shame, especially as they made such a fuss about the change of venue

I have just checked Olympia website and it is not listed .

Reading between the lines I think it can be summed up as 'lack of commercial viability' but I could be wrong.

I hope you are wrong!

They were selling tickets on the 'phone as recently as last Thursday; I purchased two!!!

At least it won't be crowded.

Might not be anything to look at either. Better check on the refund policy on the tickets ..... if there is one.

Morning all

At least you can go out now for a drink on New Years Eve instead of having to argue with some twonk on why that 23,765 piece set of TiN coated drill for £9.99 is made in China and not by Dormer.

The gist is,

The Model Engineer Exhibition has been postponed until after the New Year.

Entries already received will be retained for the revised dates.

For those who have booked advanced tickets, these bookings will be carried forward, although refunds will be given. Please address requests for refunds to:

Magicalia Media Ltd Berwick House

8-10 Knoll Rise Orpington Kent BR6 0EL

My question would how long to they propose to 'retain' entries and under what conditions they be stored?

No. The editors have little to do with running the exhibitions.

I notice that in the latest ME that the Warco ad. says that the ME Exhibition will be at Alexandra Palace on the 19th - 21st of January, presumably they have booked a stand and should know the dates. The " Smoke Ring" has a vague statement, but they would have a tight deadline for publication and would be less up to date as the advertising copy.

booked a stand and

No Brian, that is the rival London Model Engineering Exhibition run by a different outfit altogether MMeridienne Exhibitions Ltderidienne Exhibitions Ltd

Thanks Andrew ... I stand corrected I had forgotten about the alternative one!
