Geoff Endacott Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 With 18 of next year's layouts booked already, I thought I might as well start a thread to let people know what is coming. So here it is... Geoff Endacott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Endacott Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Two more layouts now added taking the total to 20. This may also be the last exhibition at the Christie Miller Centre. Although the venue will probably be available in 2016 (and even in 2017) it is becoming obvious that very little money is being spent on the place with the result that it is becoming somewhat dilapidated. As we have to move in due course, discussions last night have led to the decision to relocate sooner rather than later. So where are we going? I will start another thread for comments about the possible new location for Trainwest 2016. Geoff Endacott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Endacott Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 Layout list now updated. It now looks as though this will be the last show at Christie Miller in Melksham. Geoff Endacott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Endacott Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Layout list updated again. It now looks as though we will still be at Christie Miller in 2016. Watch this space. Geoff Endacott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveb860 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Looking forward to operating Lydgate on the Sunday. I see one of my work colleagues will also be there with his layout. Will be nice to see what tweaks have been done to Pengwynn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Endacott Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 I have updated the list of traders. This now includes a few more specialists who I have managed to squeeze in. I have also arranged for David Lund's Cross Street to make its first, and perhaps only, exhibition appearance. Geoff Endacott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

salmonpastures Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Good evening Geoff, I have just checked my exhibition planner and see that 9 weeks tonight we will be very tired and emotional after a hard day's work playing with Salmon Pastures,,,,, 9 weeks,,, is that all,,,, last time I looked at the planner I'm sure I had about 7 months to get ready for our first venture into the west country. Thought I'd add a couple of pics to let everyone know what they are in for,,,,, taken by our very own "tame westerner" and his very technically digital box brownie,,,, We have decided to bring him with us as he not only has this strange attraction to all things Swinedon but he can also act as translator and refreshment coordinator. Luckily the remainder of us are allergic to,,, chocolate,,, cream,,, copper,,, et al,,,, Looking forward to meeting you in April.

Geoff Endacott Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 Two more layouts and three more traders added - and that's probably it. The first layout has arrived - Cross Street is now in Wiltshire. Geoff Endacott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Endacott Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 I have now added Severn Models to the list. That may have to be it because I don't see how I can find any more space. Geoff Endacott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Endacott Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 We are now able to supply advance tickets post-free to those who can pay by PayPal. Advance tickets cost £6 - a saving of £2 on the price at the door. The offer will run until the end of March. PM please for details.

Geoff Endacott Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 The bus timetable is now available on the website. This year the bus runs on Saturday only from Chippenham Station to Trainwest calling at Melksham station to connect with trains from Westbury and the south. To clarify the reduced admission prices, the lower rate of £5 adult and £2 child applies after 1.00pm on Sunday only. The entry in Model Rail is wrong. (This is not our fault.)

Geoff Endacott Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 It is now increasingly likely that this will be our last show at Christie Miller. Negotiations over the use of a new venue (new to Trainwest and newly-built) are going very well. Watch this space... Geoff Endacott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
