RMweb Premium newbryford Posted January 9, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) After a number of years at the Hyndburn Sports Centre, the Blackburn and East Lancs Model Railway Society feel the need to move on as changes at the venue were not conducive to our exhibition. Thanks to the staff at HSC for being so accommodating over the years. The date for the 2018 show is 10/11 November. The venue is Darwen Vale High School, just on the boundary of Blackburn and Darwen with a very frequent (*) passing bus service and 400 yards from junction 4 of the M65 More details to follow as we finalise them. Exhibitors that have been invited to our 2018 show will be contacted in the very near future with more details.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted November 9, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 9, 2018 The show is mostly set up and ready to go. Just a few stragglers to arrive Saturday morning......... We have a 150 space on site car park. There is also car parking on the streets nearby, but will get busy around 1-2.30pm as Blackburn Rovers are playing at home and some of the match day parking takes up some of the available spaces.

Jack374 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I'd like to thank all the team and organisers of this year's exhibition at BELMRS for a cracking show as usual, especially given the added challenge of an entirely new venue. The school was perfect for the exhibition, with plenty of space which was filled with the usual superb variety of layouts, trade stands, demonstrations and society stands. Below is an overview of the main hall: A great weekend! Thanks, Jack. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted November 11, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 11, 2018 (edited) On behalf of the Blackburn & East Lance MRS, a big thank you to all our exhibitors traders, demonstrators and public for coming to our show this weekend. It was a little fraught on Friday evening - new venue and all that. Apologies to the traders for issues with tables. Parking was an issue - especially Saturday morning - but that was quite probably because a lot of folks turned up early! Both ourselves and the venue have lessons to learn. First count is numbers are up - quite possibly on the back of the GMRC TV show. We certainly saw a lot of families with kids. Once again - thanks for making it a good weekend Cheers, Mick Chairman, Blackburn & East Lancs MRS Edited November 11, 2018 by newbryford 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a maze off the M65 but signs were OKish - Parking was tight although Bl*ckburn Rovers were at home - Ewood has never seen such a crowd.

George Woodcock Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Hello On behalf of John, Paul and myself I would like to thank Mick, John and the rest of Blackburn club for inviting us to the show and giving us such an enjoyable weekend. This was our last show of the year and my first one since May so it was good to have a play on Fenchurch St Peter. Time now to complete our new layout Framplington before heading to Kendal in January with Towcester. Cheers George 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
