RMweb Premium Mike Bellamy Posted May 3, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 3, 2016 Another update Our latest Club Layout, 'Thomas and Friends', will feature on its full exhibition debut. Seen over the last couple of years as 'work in progress' at our local Mickleover show, this will be the first showing of the full layout in an almost complete state. Our own 'Large Gentleman in a Top Hat' will be in charge. Also pleased to welcome Smart Models for their first visit to the Roundhouse http://www.smartmodels.co.uk/ Layout and Trader lists above have been amended.

Kelly Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Unfortuately plans to attend this had to be curtailed due to finances (car needs a service, 2 tyres and some bodywork repair to the bumper) and other commitments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Reorte Posted May 4, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 4, 2016 Got parents visiting so I'm going to miss it, drat. Should've checked the dates (I had a feeling something was happening when they said when they were coming!) Perhaps I can persaude them to hang around in Derby a little bit longer than originally expected, I think they're turning up via an uncle who lives there...

vcltel Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I'm glad that Treasurer Mike has mentioned the new Thomas and Friends layout, well worth a look even if you aren't clued up on the difference between Gordon and Henry (have you ever been choked off by a knowledgeable 5 year old as if you are doolally? I have!). There are lots of surprises built in by Matthew our electronic genius and take a look at the scratch built carousel as well, I think you'll agree that the Monday Night Gang have done a super job building this. Sadly I'll not be there as I have spent this morning having an eye operation for a detached retina and look like Pirate Pete with my eye shield etc and don't want to undo Mr Chen's excellent work.. Hope it's the stunning success it deserves to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyboy Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I am thinking about attending this good exhibition on Saturday, and travelling by train direct from Chesterfield too! But if the weather is expected to be good as is forecast, I may have a dilemma between attending this show or being in the countryside or beach...

RMweb Premium Mike Bellamy Posted May 5, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 5, 2016 Not been to this venue before, what's the parking like? There is onsite parking at the College and at another of their buildings nearby for which there is a £1 charge. However spaces here are limited and at times last year the College staff were operating 'one out, one in' which led to some queues. Unfortunately this is unavoidable at times and with the closure of both of our two previous venues at The Assembly Rooms and Moorways, we had nowhere else to go. There is also a public Pay and Display car park for £5 as well as the Station car park at £7.50 - you do not want the main car park as you will be the wrong side of the tracks and the bridge is supposed to be for travellers only. Most of the roads are 'double yellow' lines so please check any restrictions before parking at the roadside - other wise use the City Centre car parks and walk over the bridge into Pride Park As mentioned above, it would be best to travel by train or come on Sunday which is a much quieter day and the car parks won't be so congested. The photo above shows some of the parking to the left and rear of the building plus we have the use of most of the office spaces next door. You can also see the station car park and the edge of the pay and display area on the far right of the picture. The other College building where there will be more spaces is just a bit further out of shot on the right. . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

50030 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Just another heads up, Derby County are playing at home on the Saturday with a 12.30 kick off, so expect roads and parking to be busier than normal for a few hours around pride park. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
