Thanks, The website in its present form is certainly not a good advert for the society in my opinion. However, Expo EM is !! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brightspark Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I believe the EMGS website is going to be revamped as it is currently not doing its job. Its the usual problem of finding someone who is not only able to do the job but also has the time to do it. Either way from what I hear it is going to be a good show.

John_Miles Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Either way from what I hear it is going to be a good show. Not too sure about that. I'm one of the exhibitors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andytrains Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 In my opinion there has never been a bad Expo. Same for North and the old South. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike morley Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I'm also an exhibitor. My role is to show what can be done with a small budget and even less skill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike morley Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I must admit that I very nearly put "I am filling the role usually occupied by Dave Tailby by showing what can be done with a small budget and even less skill." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungus the Fogeyman Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Gee Vee has booked me for that role next year......even though he's resigning as exhibition manager! Disgusting of Market Harborough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee Vee Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Guys Somewhat tardy but here is the first "official;" post for expoEM2016. expoEM 2016 14/15 May Saturday 10.30 - 17.30 Sunday 10.00 to 16.30 2 day visitor ticket £8.00 accompanying child £2.00, Family £16.00 Members £6.00 Location is Bracknell Liesure Centre RG12 9SE. Easy access from both M3and M4 - follow the brown signs. free parking and flat disabled access to the main hall For those that have not attended before, particularly those that model in 00 please do not be put off with the fact that this is all EM and P4 modelling. The truth is that most of the people that attend are not members of the EM Gauge Society and are in fact 00 modellers with absolutely no intention of modelling in either EM or P4. The point is that is intended to be a show of inspirational layouts, specialist traders and practical demonstrations and lectures that are relevent to anyone looking to advance ther modelling skills irrespective of your chosen scale and gauge. This year our guest layout is 0 gauge. I have had a layout drop out - agggghh!!! so will post a complete list of all layouts once that space is filled. Some interesting comments above that I will comment on separately... Graeme Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bigcheeseplant Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 This year there is two weeks between Expo EM and RAILEX which is the first time in a few years. As last year there was Derby, Expo, RAILEX and DEMU all in successive weeks. so hopefully a rest week between us will benefit visitors and traders.

Waterloo Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Details of Expo EM are now listed on the EM Society web site. http://www.emgs.org/index.php?option=com_jticketing&view=event&id=8&Itemid=527 I have just seen the list of layouts for this years ExpoEM and believe that one of the layouts is incorrectly listed as 'St Mirren'! I think it should be 'St Merryn', the P4 layout from the South London Area Group. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisf Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I have just seen the list of layouts for this years ExpoEM and believe that one of the layouts is incorrectly listed as 'St Mirren'! I think it should be 'St Merryn', the P4 layout from the South London Area Group. I think I know how this happened. Gee Vee is a noted aficionado of association football and will probably agree that he finds it difficult to concentrate when Expo clashes with the cup final. If he did mean St Merryn, hoorah!

andytrains Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Are you sure its not Saint Helen Mirren thats attending. Nicer legs than St Merryn! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee Vee Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Chaps all is now correct on www.emgs.org and for clarity the layouts are: Cornwallis Yard - David and Alison Barber Hebble Vale - Karl Crowther Brighton East - David Smith Narrow Road - Tony Gee and Ken Hill Pentrefan - Mike Morley Angelbank - Chris Hewitt Ynysybwl - Cardiff MRG St Merryn - Scalefour Soc South London Area Group Edge Hill - Paul Segar The Mill - Chris Rogers and Jason Thomas (Winner of the EMGS 60 Anniversary Challenge) Metropolitan Junction - constructed by DA "Doug" Williams in the 1950s, this was a pioneering EM layout of a similar timeframe to Rev Peter Denny's Buckingham. Doug published a number of articles from the 1940s-80s. 2016 would have been Doug's 100th birthday and we are delighted to have the layout operational at expoEM Guest 0 Gauge Layout: Harford - Philip McGovern Demos lectures and trade to follow.

RMweb Gold melmoth Posted February 26, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 26, 2016 How soon is the list of traders likely to be available? Even a partial, provisional list of trade stands would be helpful - I have to choose (and very soon) between Expo and Railex and it'll be on the basis of which traders are present. I note that C&L (among others) already have Expo on their exhibition list, so there must be some information available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
