Title: Sad news
Post by: Raider4 on 06 July 2018, 06:33:15 PM
One of the last (only?) small modelling shops local to me is closing (https://www.fishpondsvoice.co.uk/end-of-an-era-as-modelmania-closes).

I think that leaves Bristol - the 8th largest urban area in the UK - with just an Antics and a Hobbycraft for any modelling supplies  :-<

They are semi-retiring, so closing the shop but keeping the mail order side going, according to our local magazine. The shop is only a mile or so from me but I've never visited, due to having Antics a stones throw from work and the fact that you couldn't park near it :(.

And we still don't know the name of this shop facing imminent demise. I wonder whether my Clevedon based brother will miss it. Suppose it depends if it's near Bristol Grammar.

It's called Modelmania and no where near Bristol Grammar.
