It's not all about the competition, SMC is a lot more than that.

The Vendors keep the modeller happy with temptations galore, the restaurant and small bar keep him or her fed and watered and of course there's a lot of meeting up and renewing friendships.

Behind closed doors there are talks and teaching classes that can be booked onto and of course there are the Club Displays.

My apologies up front, as I missed taking the names of the clubs models shown here, but they know who they are and they all put on an excellent show of skills and knowledge with models of all kinds of subjects.
