RMweb Premium RichardT Posted March 18 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 18 8 minutes ago, AY Mod said: Shops under 280m² are allowed to open but may choose not to. As York will be rammed with visitors all weekend I suspect that virtually all shops that can open on any day will do so... And in any case there's plenty of other things to do!

arran Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 HI All To answer the question Saturdays the busiest day followed by Monday i would say . As for England's Sunday shopping laws you need to come out the dark ages . Regards Arran 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be scannable by our door stewards from a mobile phone when you arrive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John of York61 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Setting off tomorrow with Colin Taylor in a big van to fetch the Leeds and Normanton club barriers; none from Warley this year as they don't have a van driver under 70. It's a familiar case; luckily, we can field two-Fred Ellis and the new floor manager, Colin Taylor. What a 'find' he was last year....turned up on Thursday to help for a day and stayed until Monday! He harks back to the Assembly Rooms in the 1970s, one of Bernard Richmond's Barrier crew. Here he is 45 years later.....going to fetch the barriers! For our regulars-we are using gate 5 to enter the yard this year. I have asked for help from Constant Security for extra help marshalling vans/cars etc. If you're setting up on Saturday morning, get here BEFORE 9:30am...we don't want cars milling around with the queue of visitors in the same place! Welcome our new demonstrators: Brian Davis with wagon loads (his wife Susan will be helping the show!) and Thomas Petith with 3D printing. New traders: Model Signs, MMR models and the return of PowerBond adhesives/Graham the Glue man. We will be setting up the memorial stand to Ken Gibbons, Roger Ellis, John Ross and Colin McCallum, who by coincidence is on Steve Flint's video promoting the show. Ah, and Rupert Brown has organised a rolling video to run on the plasma screens in the upper floor bars! For our visitors:- I'm fetching the keys for the gates onto the Knavesmire for the overflow car park (it will be needed on Saturday!) Google Images attached. Me? Edgy, nervous, same as before. If you see me during the show, please make reassuring noises; I'll be wandering around gibbering to myself! 1 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted March 26 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 26 A quick check tonight and Deadmans Lane is almost ready to roll. The "logistics plan" for the team from five different locations has been finalised. Just a couple of bits of stock to finish a couple of details and packing and then we're good to load up on Friday morning. As DL pretty much only gets fully assembled for exhibitions, we're looking forward to playing trains for three days. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold john new Posted March 27 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 27 (edited) Quick update regarding on-line tickets and door entry. Pre-paid at discount through to Good Friday. Pre-paid through the show period still available but at door prices. On the door can be cash or card. Show Guides at the door. Step stool hire (Cash only) will be in the entrance foyer. This has to be cash as there is a returnable deposit. Edited March 27 by john new Added the note about cash for step stools. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
