My wife and I would like to visit England at some point (not this year), and it would be fun to come see you all at Telford, but if the weather is crap, it will be tough to sell her on that time of year. Telford has been on my bucket list since I first heard about it after getting back into modeling in 2007 or so. Id be very interested in going to, but like Tim, would probably need at least a year or probably two in advance to save, and or get the PTO to go. I think going to England with the wife would be cool, and since its a whole new country, probably would not have to work to hard to get her to go, even if its cool.

Kagemusha Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 The weather over here is changeable, you can get all four seasons in one day: yesterday was quite nice and sunny - it's supposed to be summer - today it's not stopped raining and a bit cold. You can't predict what it's going to be like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggTim Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Anyone in the Telford area into metal detecting? I'd sure love to do a bit of that if I ever get to come over. Probably not a selling point to my wife, but it would sure motivate me!! Phartycr0c 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be a good idea to link up with a local metal detecting group, good time of year to do it, no crops in the way.My son does it, found a Roman gold stater a few years ago but moved house a couple of years ago, put in a safe place, never to be seen again.....

Tim Hi Tim, From memory the last few years have been bright but cold. Temperatures in early November can vary alot but are typically just above 0C, in the 5-10 degree range (40-50f). It does n't often snow before Christmas but the mornings are often frosty. HTH. Cheers. The show is really good though, if that helps. It would be good to plan to go for both days if you wish to see it all in any detail. MikeC, BiggTim and Out2gtcha 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I always wondered what the weather was like during Telford. Heck around here in the middle of the US, you'll practically see people in shorts and T-shirts in 50F/10C weather after a 20F/-6C to -20F/-28C winter!

Wegener Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Another accommodation option, if you have transport or can hook up with someone who does, is the university campus. I stayed last year and it was as good as a typical budget hotel chain; clean, comfortable bed etc.. No bar but I drank at the Holiday Inn bar instead. Pretty reasonably priced too as I recall, leaving more cash for show swag. Unfortunately I’ll be away this year or I’d offer to take any LSP bods without wheels between show and campus.

thierry laurent Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Well I tried to sell the idea of a mini trip in UK in November to my wife but the Brexit tragicomedy is worrying her a little bit. So, I'm not sure I will have the opportunity to come in 2019. Bummer! Phartycr0c and BiggTim 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went a couple of years ago, it is quite a show. There are marked differences in that show and US types approaching that size. The weather was a bit chilly, but no big deal.

Radub Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I am going only as a "visitor" this year, no RB Productions stand (but I will be wearing the RB Productions shirt :-) ) I will try to call to the LSP stand and meet ye all.
