[valleymodeller]

Just wanted all the WAGs to know that I've posted details if our club show in the main Exhibitions section of the forum.

 

We have about 14 layouts attending, OO, HO, N and OO9. Trade from Lord & Butler and two society stands, as well as club second hand sakes stand. Only £3 entrance and light refreshments available. Any queries about this please jet me know.

 

Just realised I gave missed our own layout from the list!

 

Also would like to contact te owner if Minster, who was invited at the Cardiff show, just to check all us ok with attending. I have sent PM to Danemouth to try and contact John.

 

Abercynon Fach and Cogirep by well known members of the forum will be there.

 

I look forward to seeing you there, please introduce yourselves, I'll probably be on the door for mos of the time.

Good luck with this year's venture Tony.

I may (and that's a very non-committal 'may') be able to make it for an hour at opening but 'el sol en España hace señas'

Here's a nice little video of Abercynon Fach.

I'm still waiting to hear about the TBA layout! There's 14 listed above, including a bus/trolleybus one. If we get the extra layout it will be 15 in total plus club trade stand and Lord & Butler, two demonstrations and the Tallyllyn stall. (and a partridge in a pear tree!)

A quick reminder that this show is this coming Saturday (23rd) 10am - 4pm. ONLY #3 entry, kids free. 14 layouts and one on standby in case of emergency drop outs!

 

Lord & Butler (Dirty Boy Weathering) and Club sales stands.

 

Refreshments (be quick for the bacon rolls).

Most layouts set up tonight ready for tomorrow's show with just 4 to set up tomorrow morning.

 

The quality looks great with a variety of scales. A few demos and static exhibits too. I think we have 14 or 15 layouts on display. There is a fabulous club stand with a selection of my books and DVDs for sale!

 

£3 entry only, children free. There are plenty of refreshments to keep everyone well looked after so please come along and say hello.

Thanks to those exhibitors, demonstrators, traders, club members and volunteers who came today and contributing to making our show such a success.

Attendance was up 75% on last year's show. This helps our club enormously in raising funds to getting a new clubhouse somewhere closer to the town centre.

Thank you from all at Pontypridd Model Railway Club.
