The
Southern Model Air Show (SMAS) is being held on the weekend of the
20th and 21st of September 2008 at the
excellent
Hop
Farm
Country
Park
in Beltring, near Paddock Wood, Kent. .
This is now a well established show, in its eighth year at
the current location.
From humble beginnings this show has grown from one field at the Hop
Farm to three.
In the first year the boat display consisted of four Cygnets Model
Boat Club members with one table. Last year it had a BIG pool for
general running and a smaller pool for the have-a-go boats with 15
model boat clubs displaying their models for the public to see.
With that add in two days of model aircraft flying, two full size
aerobatic displays and one by a helicopter. Plus radio control cars,
tanks, full size sports cars, many trade stands and a bring and buy
sale there is plenty for all to see and do.
Last year there were some 10,000 paying visitors.

This show now is regarded by many as the show to go to so don't miss
it.
