Never heard of iot before but the website is interesting and it may be worth a visit. Very useful to be able to check regularly to see who will be there, what will be going on etc.

I saw this advertised whilst attending a points failure at B/ham International. I will be otherwise occupied with shifting black rock on the 12" to the ft scale stuff. If anyone goes, please let us know if it is worth a visit and I can try and get there next year, maybe even during works time!!!!!  |

There was a thread on one of the news groups a while back. The concensus was it was a TOY FAIR.
That said a chap from my club went over the weekend. Fortunately he had a car load to share the cost of the car park fee. I will quiz him next time I see him and share any thing good. Watch this space....

Follow-up to my first posting:
My man was less than impressed with the whole exhibition. As a keen steam boater there was little if anything for him. Big gaps between stands and very little going on. He had a chat to one of the usual lathe suppliers (won't specifiy which) and they regared it as very slow.
There was more for the model car and aircraft types although he said the flying wasn't up to much either.
If you want a good exhibition and you're in the South West (just North of Bristol off M5) then look out for the Thornbury Show. Its been good the last two years with a good range of suppliers and models. I would have included the URL but it's dropped through a hole somewhere. It listed quite a few of the usual names.
