Canterbury Model Railway Exhibition - 20th and 21st January 24
adrianmc replied to Jack's topic in Exhibitions
Which layout has had to pull out? -
Regarding the Tri-ang 0-4-0T, has there been some erroneous posting? Nellie was the blue locomotive, Connie was the yellow one and Polly the red?

Thanks - appreciated. Have just logged on via World of Railways Plus and it now appears in the Archive.

For those that couldn't make the show is the Warley Special / Best of BRM edition of the magazine going to be made available as a Digital edition to those that have the World of Railways subscription (including Gold RMweb members)?

A retrospective of the Uckfield Exhibition has just been uploaded to the Uckfield Club's website. http://www.uckfieldmrc.co.uk/exhib23nf.html I just wish to say thank you to Andy for agreeing to bring Butley Mills along as part of the Iain Rice Extravaganza - its appearance was much appreciated by our visitors. -

Aston On Clun. A forgotten Great Western outpost.

Regarding the Haynes Manual - Iain wanted photographs of layouts of differing design/presentation etc to illustrate ideas and concepts in the book. He therefore raided, with permission of course, the Uckfield Exhibition retrospectives at http://www.uckfieldmrc.co.uk/exhibition.html He kindly sent me a signed copy of the finished product as a thank you. It's now a cherished possession. -

38th Uckfield Model Railway Exhibition - 21st/22nd October 2023
adrianmc replied to adrianmc's topic in Exhibitions
An update on the above situation. We have received an apology from APCOA and the assurance that "all the PCN’s issued for visits on either 21st/ 22nd October have been cancelled in full". Apparently their system was recently upgraded and it appears that a technical glitch with the removal of the enforcement failed resulting in it still being live. -

Dear All, The Uckfield Model Railway Club (UMRC) is aware of a developing situation regarding APCOA issuing PCNs to those using the Uckfield Station car park over the weekend of the Exhibition. As our publicity stated, by arrangement with Network Rail and APCOA, the Uckfield Station car park was free to use both on the Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd October by visitors to the town and exhibition. However we had an instance of someone at the beginning of the week receiving a PCN, issued on the 3rd November, for parking on Sunday 22nd October. They contacted the Club and we passed their registration number and PCN details to our contact at APCOA with the result that the PCN has been cancelled. We thought that this may well have been a one off, but other visitors and several of our Club members have received PCNs in the post this morning, dated 9th November, and all relating to using the 'free' station car park on Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd October. In the short term please could anyone who has received a PCN for using the Uckfield Station car park on the 21st and/or 22nd October please email the Club using the address: enquiries "at" uckfieldmrc.co.uk quoting their car registration number and PCN number - it would also help if a copy of the PCN was attached to the email if you are able to. We will then forward details to APCOA on Monday. Please accept the Club's apologies, but rest assured we will do our utmost to get the situation resolved. A message outlining the above will be shortly be put on our website and Facebook pages. Regards Adrian -

In most cases, support is there if one asks for it, and in some instances it is even offered! -

UMRC have email confirmation from APCOA Parking that all is arranged. Network Rail and APCOA have been very supportive of events in Uckfield where substantial numbers of visitors are expected. The relevant contacts were provided by Uckfield Town Council who are also very supportive of the exhibition, hosting the event in the Uckfield Civic Centre. See below a map of the centre of Uckfield and the relative locations of the Railway Station car park - and of course the Station - and the Civic Centre.
