Hi People

Just to let you know the bookings for rooms are now open and its open to ALL not just WW members

I have my name down for a room 3rd time exhibiting for me plus 2 years as a wall arounder :)

This IS a unique event and a great weekend , I hope Jim ( JVS ) is doing the PIE run again

Also Jerry does his cancer research auction at this event so if you are able to donate some music or hifi items it all goes to a great cause , Jerry also shows the till roll print out so you can all see how much has been raised

If you stay Saturday night its a good vibe in the bar :eyebrows:

When exactly is it, and what gear will you be demonstrating Al?

Oops - just looked at the link. It might clash with next year's MiBO (if there is one).

Not sure yet Barry ,
What I use depends on my location , If I'm up 2 flights of stairs will be different than being on the ground floor :)

I'll be attending the Wam show as usual - as a visitor rather than an exhibitor (friends have been pushing me to exhibit but it would be a massive PITA to move my system there). Again, as usual, I will be propping up the bar on the Saturday night too.

I, for one, would appreciate it if that could be avoided.

Yes, the Scalford show is a great day or weekend out.
It's a very friendly show with a great vibe to it.

There are always interesting gear and people to be found. And some great new music to discover.

A slight change to the rules this year, exhibitors must book an overnight room at the Scalford Hall hotel on the Saturday night, with the main open-to-the-public Show being on the Sunday.
Much fun to be had on the Saturday, a great social event for those inclined that way. And most systems being set up and available for audition on the Saturday, too.


Also Jerry does his cancer research auction at this event so if you are able to donate some music or hifi items it all goes to a great cause , Jerry also shows the till roll print out so you can all see how much has been raised


Yep, the "Bring & Buy" charity event around Scalford17 has kicked off already.
Generous donors and buyers have so far raised £217.45 for Cancer Research UK, which is not at all bad when the Show is still 4 months off. :)
Scalford16 raised over £1400 in advance of the Show weekend!

Sadly, due to family commitments it looks like I will not be able to attend the Show myself. The first Scalford I will have missed. :(
It's very likely that someone else will come forward to look after the "Bring & Buy" charity event over the actual Show weekend.

But for the nonce, I am looking after this aspect of the Show's charitable events. I am certain that the traditional Scalford Raffle will also take place, but someone else will look after that.

So if any folks would care to donate items for sale, let me know!
Sell them yourself and pass the money on, or send the items to me and I will be happy to raise as much as I can for them. :thumbsup:

If I can get a free pass that night any chance of getting a lift up. I can help with carrying and setting up (though not too heavy stuff as I've had a back op). If you plan to go round the M25 I'm a short detour from the Cockfosters exit. I'd have to look into room availability and rates too obv.

If anyone is attending the Show at Scalford Hall on the 19th March, myself and Gordon (Halfway tree) will be exhibiting in the Syndicate 3 room on the first floor.

The ground floor is trade only this year, Linn will be Launching an item/s of interest to the DIY community, whatever that means? :)

Some of the bigger rooms are trade but there are still over 40 enthusiast rooms spread over both floors.

I didn't think anyone but trade was down stairs. No one I know was allocated a room downstairs, when, like us they requested one, but could be wrong.

I see al has a ground floor room (224), maybe its because we wanted a large room, Gordon is taking his Linkwitz Open Baffles and they need space around them to work their best. 224 was on first floor on my 2016 Plan - They must have renumbered the rooms.

Just checked the 2017 floor plan on the Wam site - Your upstairs on the first floor Al ;)

13-03-2017, 12:50
The first 2 suggests its on first perhaps, depending on the numbering. Ground floor could start with a 1. IE your in room 24 on first floor. Maybe lol

Room 224 is on the first floor.

I'm on the ground floor (room 211) as are many other community exhibitors. I'd love to be able to point you towards something that showed who was showing what and where but that is only available on a need to know basis and potential visitors are not in that group.

We did the same, with the same result.
Not looking forward to the stairs, we have three amps weighing 32kg a piece to haul up there, plus speakers.

This looks as good a place as any to give an update.

I facilitated an online Bring & Buy charity sale on behalf of Cancer Research UK centred on the Scalford 17 event.
Many folks, including AOSers, donated and purchased items.
So, for those involved and otherwise interested, the Grand Total has now been attained -- £1,845.45.

Which is fabulous - so many thanks to all those who contributed and helped make it happen. :thumbsup:
