MKMRS Chairman, Chris Hughes, said: "We were delighted that our 2020 exhibition was such a success and we are especially pleased that so many children came along. In a world where there are so many opportunities for families and children to be entertained, it was wonderful that the people of Milton Keynes chose to join us, especially given the weather over the weekend."

Plans are already underway for next year’s show and the club is considering what can be improved and added to make the show even more special.
