IPMS Abingdon Show 2023
The Abingdon Model Show is held each year in the Larkmead School, Abingdon. It attracts a good number, and variety, of traders and many clubs take the opportunity to come and show their talents. We hold a competition which attracts a high standard of entries across a broad range of categories. Our shows are well attended by the public and, in recent years, we have gained several new members as a direct result of dropping in for a look. Feedback from attendees always makes mention of our show as having a very friendly atmosphere – we will do our best to maintain that reputation.
