I understand that WMRC have made the aisles wider for COVID-19 reasons, so they've reduced the price to preserve perceived value for money.

RMweb Premium 70000 Britannia Posted October 14, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 14, 2021 Looking forward to bringing an extended Clayton End. Today has been a critical session, completing the installation of two MegaPoints control systems. Lots of 'wires' installed this week. So, tonight will be a moment of truth, when testing takes place.

Steamport Southport Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 A good one. I don't think there was anything close to a bad layout there. Very high standard for a smaller show. I liked that large round Southern Region one with the EMUs, Star Lane. I could have watched that all day. Not as far from the station as I thought it would be being on foot. Seemed miles away looking at Google Maps. Jason 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Scottish-Exile Posted October 17, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 17, 2021 I always enjoy the Warrington show which is a nice smaller show compared to Wigan which is normally a couple of weeks before. It was good to get out to see an exhibition this afternoon, my first since Model Rail Scotland last year. A good selection of layouts and agreed, the round Southern EMU layout for something so 'simple' was endlessly fascinating. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Markwj Posted October 17, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 17, 2021 Went today with my brothers and did enjoy the show and to be honest was just grateful to be able to attend an exhibition again. Thank you to the organisers for taking that leap of faith I hope it was profitable for you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was travelling Cheshire Lines Committee. Google was saying it was a 30 minute walk. It was about ten to 15 minutes at most. Maybe some people walk much slower than me! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephenwolsten Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I am interested in collating information from recent shows about attendance, compared with pre-Covid years. The aim would be to help inform other clubs about what to expect or plan for when reaching decisions. Can you quantify anything from the Warrington Show please e.g. the percentage change in attendance compared with the last equivalent show? Thanks in anticipation.
