davidbr Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Booking is open and places going fast for the Autumn Weekend - 30th September to 2nd October - at Missenden Abbey. We are already more than half full with 45 of the 70 places available booked. Cost: £325 residential, £205 non-residential. Residential is full board - 2 night's accommodation with breakfast, 2 dinners, 2 lunches, teas, coffees, cakes and biscuits, non-residential is the same less the bed and breakfast. 5 bedrooms remain at the Abbey after which you will need to book b&b separately (I have a list). Following a major change in the administration, with Buckinghamshire County Council withdrawing from residential adult education, we (the Railway Modellers Courses) now deal with the Abbey's owner, Buckinghamshire New University (BNU). Negotiations with BNU have gone well and the courses are secure for the foreseeable future. What changes will there be? On one hand, very little as the courses will run as they have done for more than 30 years, being practical and hands-on with some of the best tutors in the hobby where you can learn new skills, improve existing ones, receive help from experts or just come along and spend time modelling. You provide the kits and tools, we provide the expertise. The major change is in paying. You now book a place and pay through the Missenden Modellers' website. You can pay on-line by Paypal or card or, if you prefer, by bank transfer or cheque. Details are given in the booking process. What is on offer? Electronics and Control Systems with Mike Bolton Electronics for the Bewildered with Howard Watkins Signalling – below the baseboard with Martin Lloyd Wiring Made Simple with Ian Morton Towards Automation- working with JMRI Panel Pro with Pete Brownlow Only one place remains but if there is sufficient demand, this could change so do let us know if you are interested. If you have any questions, please contact me through the Missenden Railway Modellers' website, the website having more details about Missenden Abbey and the courses.

terrysoham Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 These are all excellent courses run by people who really know their stuff. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced modeller you will find the Missenden railway modelling courses well worth doing. I have learned so much in the five years that I've been going. Don't be put off if you've never done this sort of thing before, you will find everyone very welcoming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
