Apologies for the delay this year in posting our show content, entirely due to the huge number of changes we've been faced with due to all manner of reason.

 

At this time we accordingly still have room for a couple of not too large! layouts and a trader, especially a tools and modelling materials one!

 

One layout needs to be a 'travel each day in your own vehicle' example and for the other from further afield (approx-over an hour each way) we still have one DOUBLE! hotel room available on the fri/sat eve's for a layout 'not requiring van hire or ferries etc' for either a couple? a single person? or two guys that get on well LOL :drink_mini:....

 

any takers or suggestions will be looked upon with glee

 

I can be contacted here or more directly through our website at themodelshow.co.uk

 

cheers Mark

We've concluded this years content now, so our opening post has been amended accordingly.

Many thanks to all those that have stepped in late in the day, besides everyone else who's committed themselves.. all that's needed now is to put it all together in an orderly manner lol!

cheers

Cheers and hopefully see some of you over the weekend?

One late trade entry... Railway Memorabilia Shop.

 

Please be advised that some roads in Woodford and Hazel Grove will be closed on Saturday around mid-morning til lunchtime, for the Tour of Britain cycle race passing through the area. During this period we advise if: coming from the north or west to approach Poynton via the A555 (airport east link road) then A523. If approaching from the south or east to use the A523 from Macclesfield. We anticipate this disruption to only be for a couple of hours!

 

Cheers

I shall be there again this year, by kind invitation.

 

I'll be demoing how I go about in my limited skills way, how to detail/build/modify Diesels and be showing locos plus stock ( inc latest completed stuff ) for Glasgow Queen St in EM gauge.

 

If you've not been to this show before, it is WELL worth the effort in going - there is plenty to see and do and reflects the Herculean effort put in by the organising team ( not me! )

 

cheers

Well here we go again... another very late finish table making for some last minute bookings last night and stand pack printing since early today.

 

Today we collect the stewards and kit from afar in advance of Friday!

 

Exhibition managers worst nightmare this year as cancellations have forced me to enter my own layout Aston Magna, the new roundy-roundy variant of which is way too much work for a quick assembly last job Friday eve, so  its returning for one last showing in the end to-end-style. So after polishing the bar and preparing in advance of Saturdays post show beverage this morning i'll have to find whats left of the end tables and notice boards etc and replace the bits that have already gone up the chimney!!  oh and i should probably sort out some stock and locos!!

 

all good fun

A huge thank you to everyone today. .. We're 1/3rd up on sat last year and have received some generous feedback.  A relaxing evening is now being enjoyed by a bunch of guys and gals that are stars. Eat drink and be merry, youve done a great job.  Story to be continued tomorrow morning.

I had to deliver my son to University medical school on Saturday. Quick check of the modeller and there were three shows on in the area, Romily, Shipley and Poynton. Poynton won and I had a great couple of hours, once I had found it ( a few direction signs would have helped). I kept going back to the layout with real water. Outstanding. Bought a couple of coach kits from Stevenson Carriages. Totally unexpected end to the day.

Briefly and unexpectedly made it to the show on Saturday for an hour (thanks mainly to the big signs in the village), a nice show and well put together - apart from the stand numbers not being in order which would have confused a few people. Thanks for the chats @BigAndy and @70000 Britannia

Good to see you and have a chat.  I hope you (both) enjoyed the rest of your weekend.

Many thanks to everyone who came in whatever capacity and for all your comments support and feedback. We we're up 21% on last year so very pleased and are looking forwards to the challenges of our next event.  A new website is coming soon at railexpoynton.co.uk which will give the details of what we can do on 5th & 6th September 2020 with an extended and improved venue!

Cheers on behalf of a long list of tired boys and girls.
