Bridport and District Model Railway Club Exhibition July 2018

[melmoth]

Could one of the Bridport gang please confirm the opening times.

Is it 10 - 4 as shown in the opening post of this thread, or 10 - 5 as stated on the "exhibitor's invitation" letter received from Bob some time ago?

 

Ta muchly.

 

I can't speak for the club, but the posters they've used to advertise the show locally say 10 til 4.

I can speak on behalf of the club, it is 10 til 4.

'Tis as rocketron55 says ........

 

Saturday 10.00 Hrs to 16.00 Hrs for exhibition opening times

 

For set-up Friday from about 16.00 (allowing for marking out 'bays')

BUT the caretaker wants us out 19.00 Hrs prompt !!

We should have access from around 07.00 Hrs Saturday and I'll

need every one of those precious hours.

Myself and Ray will be arriving Saturday morning to set up Orchard Road.

 

Just need to remember to plug in the USB interface! Oh and charge the phone.

What can I say ....... all the exit comments were that it was good and so much better

than our old accommodation in the United Reform Church hall in central Bridport

where parking is so difficult to find.

 

Signing off Summer exhibitions until the last weekend in July 2019 - Same venue !!

 

To cap it all my Castell Mawr was voted best in show by the visiting public.

We ended with a Hornby 42XX pulling 57 ...... To think a guy once told me he'd read

in some review that they didn't have very good traction ?? - What ??

 

Special thanks to all our visiting layouts, traders and guys in the club particularly

Terry for spending much of the day outside monitoring parking.

I really wanted to visit this show, but I had to help my son move house yesterday, its a shame it wasn't over two days, however I intend to visit next year

I too was unable to attend, delivering family to an event in Somerset.

Really pleased to hear it went so well, and that the new venue was a success.

Cheers, Dave.

Thanks for inviting Parkstone Goods. We had a really good day and lots of good comments. The show was well organised and a good location. A most enjoyable day. 

[Dad-1]

Thanks for the comment pushpull33,

 

Your very nice compact layout made me envious on the day !!

I took 4 hours to fully set-up.

 

We will be back at the same location in 2019, probably 27th July, but that has yet

to be confirmed.

Any chance of some post-2000 layouts for the show next year?

 

Steam and BR blue doesn't hold the attention of younger attendees as much as the colourful liveried engines that are around these days.

 

Private message me if you'd like to discuss some more.
