I am in the process of putting the show program together so if you want to advertise or ensure you are included you need to make sure you have completed your booking form and got it back to us by no later than Tuesday this week (same goes for any adverts - pm me for details if you want to place one)

Really looking forward to seeing traders old and new and fingers crossed for the weather (although the whole show and facilities are all in doors!)

Don't forget Traders setup is Saturday 2nd (& early Sunday morning) and the show opens to the public at 9am on Sunday 3rd November.

we'll be around at Pickering this weekend if anyone wants anymore info. Mark will be running his stall from the traders area at the Trout Farm car park and I will be a little less conspicuous dressed in green driving a jeep

Only 1 week to go!

The trader packs have gone out in the post so expect them anytime if you haven't received them by Tuesday's post please let us know.

Those traders coming on Saturday to setup please read all details in your packs regarding which gate to enter through etc

Fingers crossed everyone that we get this same weather next weekend (or better!)

See you next Weekend x

With only a couple of weeks to go we have run out of space in doors again and traders are spilling out in front of the building again so if you still haven't booked your place and want to come along please call us on 01302 739000 and speak to Mark to see where he can accomodate you.

As well as the out-door traders don't forget we have the guys from the Mid-Lincs MVT bringing along a number of military vehicles as well as the mini-tank rides!

Doors will open 9am on the Sunday for the public but we will be there all day Saturday for those traders who want to setup the day before.

As always we are at Newark Showground (Don't... we know it's not that Northern!) and as last April we are in the Lady Eastwood Pavillion but the car parking is the same as always come in through the blue gate (second right off the round about or next gate on left after main showground entrance). There is allocation for disabled parking as usual so make yourselves known to the marshall and he will tell you where to park.

Tony and myself will be at the Yorkshire MVT Crank Up in York this weekend if you need any information or have any questions.

As always we have some fantastic (and yet again NEW) traders booked in and we have put an order in for the sunshine!

Less than 2 months to go to the next show! There are only a few stands left for those who haven't booked in already... We're in the Lady Eastwood building as per last year's April show and will have a vehicle line up outside, living history display and mini tank rides all before you get in to the trade hall and see the fantastic deals the traders have on offer!

There is still time to book one of the few reamining stands visit the website www.nmexpo.co.uk don't forget you can follow us on twitter or like us on facebook too for updates about the show and up coming events we are attending.

A quick thank you to everyone who came along to the show in November either as a trader or a visitor, we had a fantastic turn out and really enjoyed the day so we hope you found it the same.

Now on to new business, as well as the annual post-show season event we will now also be holding an event in April as well, April 1st 2012 to be exact... there will though be a few differences.

The April show this year will be held in the Lady Eastwood Pavillion, this is on the same site as the November event, and is still a fully

in door hall for traders with full facilities but is slightly smaller to allow us to accomodate this new event easily.

As well as the outdoor sales pitches and auto jumble we always have, there will also be the addition of a re-enactor display area available outside due to the slightly milder weather.

Any re-enactment groups wanting to book in please contact me directly to arrange this, howvever be aware the amount of space we ave available to do this maybe limited so will be on a first come first serve basis.
