Last year, weekend before lockdown I believe. We've booked the same community centre for a show this year on the 18th-19th September Is it only a year??

Roddrail Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 We're potentially looking at WIncanton going ahead. Although, we're leaving it a couple months and chating with the Location to see if their cloudly balls are the same as ours!! We're lucky in that we dont have a huge outley to start with, although with what may be required this year with addtional barriers, hand wash, cleaning, etc. We're need to weight it up And organsiing, we have last years bookings and plan. ALthough no doubt this may need tweeking to various rules All you can do is be hopeful. FInger crossed, if not, its already sorted for the next one!! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Phatbob Posted May 12, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 12, 2021 The weekend after restrictions are due to end is the planned date for the Lymm Transport Festival (https://www.lymmtransport.org.uk/). Part of this event's regular offerings is a small model railway exhibition in the village hall. Subject to any COVID restrictions that might still apply in the end of course, there will be probably about four layouts on show. I'll be there giving a friend a hend with his layout, Star Lane (https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/67894-star-lane-hooley/), which is coming up all the way from Sussex. I'm not sure if such a small show counts as "the first" after lockdown, but the whole event is massive a worth a visit. Two tips; firstly, use the park and ride to get there (with lovely classic busses) do not try and drive into the village! Secondly, please purchase your entry wristband in advance as they're keen to minimise any queues. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouroborus Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Fingers crossed for Warley, it'd be great to go. I have a couple of theatre trips in july and i guess if these can go ahead it'll be promising for later in the year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fezza Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Just wanted to say a big thank you to all those who are organising exhibitions this year. Your efforts are really appreciated. I got the second jab yesterday so (given that I'm not yet 50) I would imagine most people at risk will be fully vaccinated by midsummer. Looking forward to exhibitions again... 3 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 This week's Ellis Clark update brings some welcome cheer, they are confirmed for GETS in October and Warley. So accepting there could be another lockdown and we should take nothing for granted yet, two big shows are most definitely planning to be back later this year. Jabbed and ready to mingle....

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted May 28, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 28, 2021 Any word on the likelihood of Peterborough going ahead this year please, or 2022 Ally Pally either? Need to get the adhoc leave booked! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that looks hopeful that something may be planned, of course it depends how welcoming Glasgow will be then as it is still partially in lockdown now with the Scottish Government taking a different direction to the English Government. Just been on the site: https://www.sec.co.uk/events/detail/model-rail-2022 At the very worst it is a placeholder that shows intent to run the show next year.

RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted May 28, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 28, 2021 The last time I came over for an exhibition I was stranded in the UK for four months, I'm afraid I'm not risking that again until next year thanks, as much as I'm suffering from withdrawal symptoms!

RMweb Premium TheQ Posted June 14, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 14, 2021 Sadly it looks like our October Exhibition is no more.. The Hall we used to hire has stopped hiring permanently (it's a church hall). It's going to be used for Church purposes only. That means we have no hall, our main sponsor can't afford it this year anyway, having been closed for most of the year.. And when they can, there isn't a hall nearby we can use.. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Ryde-on-time Posted June 22, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 22, 2021 The 16mm association Garden Railway Show is going ahead at Peterborough this Saturday which must be one of the first shows to be put on? Although primarily for the benefit of members, and for the AGM, it is open to all although Tickets are limited and must be purchased in advance.
