Swapmeets (see video opposite) are like huge Scalextric fairs, car boot
sales or indoor markets but only for slot cars. Retailers and individuals
will set out tables in a large hall with a mind-boggling display
of Scalextric and other makes of slot cars and accessories to buy,
sell, and exchange. If you are looking for a particular type of
car for your collection these are definitely worth a visit. You
will also be able to pick up spare parts for older cars and reacquaint
yourself with cars you may have owned as a child. Most swapmeets
charge a small entry fee for non-members.
There are 3 types of
swapmeet event:
1 NSCC Members
only - the general public
are not admitted to these events. At Swapmeets it is sometimes
possible to join on the door.
2 NSCC Priority - the
general public are welcome to attend, but are only
admitted at a later time than NSCC members, usually
after an hour or 90 minutes - see "MO" (members
only) time listed.
3 Open to all.
Many clubs organise special race events, for more details visit the clubs
page of Slot Forum or contact the organiser below, to confirm event
location, dates and rules before attending.
