Model Shop Directory - closed?

[Newportnobby]

A couple of people at our club tonight said they believed the site had been closed by the owner owing to their age and the workload involved. I just tried it and the site just says 'Site Closed'.
A sad day, indeed, for a very useful reference tool.

This is a shame as the exhibition directory was excellent.

Yes - thanks for doing that Dawn. Its a great shame Adrian has had to give up, however one can fully understand,

It's Back!! 

Had a message this evening from new owner Bob French that the site is back up and running.

It looks very different and not had a chance to explore properly yet, but at least the Exhibition and Model Shop listings are there.

Listing owners should get a message shortly to reclaim their listings.

Thank you Bob French, for saving the 'Model Shop Directory' and thank you for introducing it to the 21st Century!    What an improvement.

I received an email yesterday, and have just claimed the club's listing. I also added our annual exhibition, but found some of the category heading a bit odd. All seems to be working fine so far; I guess it will take some getting used to after using the original site for so long.
With best wishes to Bob and his team.
