davidmcc3 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) Each November, the South Hants Model Railway Club hosts the annual Portsmouth Model Railway Exhibition. Please note: The SHMRC portsmouth Exhibition is NOT connected to the Victory Club Exhibition (4th/5th April 2020). Our venue is the Admiral Lord Nelson School on Dundas Lane, Portsmouth, between 10:30 and 16:30. Not only is this the longest running model railway show in the area, but it is rapidly gaining a national reputation as an exhibition that shows the very best of this fascinating hobby. Each exhibition has a carefully chosen selection of top-class model railway layouts and demonstrators. We are supported each year by a loyal band of traders and ‘gauge’ societies. Full details of layouts, traders, demonstrators and societies, plus details of how to get there, can be found on the Club's website - https://www.shmrc.org.uk/exhibition/ PLEASE NOTE: The Admiral Lord Nelson School is being enlarged, and pedestrian access and parking arrangements will be different this year. Please refer to the club website where information will be added and updated as we get closer to the exhibition.

RMweb Gold kipford Posted November 10, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 10, 2019 A week to go to the exhibition. Note however due to illness London Road Models have unfortunately had to withdraw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middlepeak Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 The Obbekaer team look forward to a highly enjoyable event in Portsmouth this weekend - the furthest south we've ever been, but an excellent show in prospect. See you there! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidmcc3 Posted November 15, 2019 Author Share Posted November 15, 2019 A quick note to let you know about changes to our traders, and some parking information. Unfortunately, London Road Models, Masterpiece Falcon Figures, and Frome Model Centre have had to pull out at the last minute for unavoidable personal reasons - we look forward to seeing them back in 2020. We've been able to secure one extra trader ... Dingo Server Mounts - see the Trader page for more details. Parking will be more difficult this year as the school is part way through some major building works. There's more information on our website Exhibition page, and we've produced a handout to help people park this year - a copy is attached to this post. We look forward to seeing you all on Saturday - we have a cracking show this year! Parking handout dated hi-contrast-gs-hires.pdf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidmcc3 Posted November 17, 2019 Author Share Posted November 17, 2019 Geraint ... it was great to see you at Portsmouth yesterday - thank you for coming so far for a single-day event. Obbekaer is a stunning layout. Regards, David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middlepeak Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 David, Many thanks for your kind words. It was a real pleasure to do this show, not only from the point of view of the organisation (which was excellent), but also for the rapport with the many interested visitors on the other side of the barrier. All too often there appears to be very little interaction with the paying public, which in my case I have often put down to the possibility that they don't know what they're looking at, but on this occasion it was exactly the opposite, which made the whole experience all the more enjoyable. I know that many of the exhibitors I talked to felt the same. Judging from the favourable comments that have appeared on the Scalefour Society Forum, it seems that a number of modellers at the finescale end of the spectrum now have marked this down as one of the key one-day shows in the calendar, which speaks volumes for the quality of the event. I have the luxury of family to stay with in Hampshire, so next year's date is already in the diary for a visit as a paying customer! All the best, Geraint Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
