BigAndy Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Hello all, Time is marching on and Christmas is nearly upon us (where did that go?) and subsequently, the New Year.

One of the worst kept secrets on the Exhibition Circuit is our Canteen area, where you can rest weary bones and take advntage of the fantastic array of hot and cold food available, both days. Full details of layouts and Traders attending will follow soon, but there will be the usual wide range of Trade support and 18 layouts ( a very good number considering we are a provincial show ) cheers for now Andy 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 96701 Posted December 9, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 9, 2021 The website appears to have the 2020 exhibition details. Am I missing something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAndy Posted December 9, 2021 Author Share Posted December 9, 2021 I can only fully apologise Phil, I'm personally not involved with the running of our website, but I shall report back to the relevant parties and get it sorted. Thanks for pointing it out. cheers Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAndy Posted January 26, 2022 Author Share Posted January 26, 2022 Hello all. As we're well into January now and February is knocking hard at the door, I thought i'd share this years Poster and Bus Timetable. The Bus us FREE from anywhere you choose to get on. You can park anywhere in Macclesfieldd you like and then hop on the Bus at any recognised stop - so long as its along the route the Bus takes of course....... So here you are then, the poster and Bus timetable. cheers Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAndy Posted January 26, 2022 Author Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) I would just like to add, that the Macclesfield Club's shop has recently taken control of a very, VERY large collection of 4mm Stock. The vast majority of this stock has never even been out of its box, never mind run. As it is classed as second hand though, we are going to be selling this collection off at EXTREMELY good prices! We have a plethora of 4mm Steam Locos ( Bachmann, Hornby etc etc ), Diesel Locos ( Bachmann, Hornby, Dapol, Heljan ), Coaches and Wagons that you just have to see to believe - spanning the eras of between 1960's to the 1990's. Its worth the admission fee alone to be able to see this collection ( which wouldnt disgrace a fair size Model Shop - and I am not joking ) If you want to bag a bargain, you'll need to get in there as we're kind of expecting something similar to the Bachmann Seconds Scrum on the morning of each day at Warley - seriously, there's that much of it to be had. We dont know yet if we'll have enough room for it all at the show, but the full collection can be seen in the Catalogue that Mike, our Club Shop proprietor, has put together and will be available to be perused over at our Clubrooms. If anyone wants to come up to our clubrooms at any point to see this catalogue, just let us know before hand to ensure there's a copy for you to look at. cheers Andy Edited January 26, 2022 by BigAndy Spelling mistake Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAndy Posted February 17, 2022 Author Share Posted February 17, 2022 We are now just a few weeks away from the Macclesfield exhibition. If I say so myself, there are some beautiful examples of modelling that will be on show. Attached is a photo of Gary Hinson's magnificent 'Blackbrook Halt'. I will attach further taster photos of other layouts attending over the next few weeks. cheers Andy 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much looking forwards to seeing this ‘in the flesh’ - along with a couple of Narrow Gauge Layouts from members of the Merseyside and North West Group of the 009 Society. It helps that this Show is the same weekend as Mothering Sunday - I can drop the family off to visit my m-i-l who lives in Macc, and then attend the show: everybody wins and it’s easy to set aside the date in the diary (in our case the Saturday, due to regular Sunday commitments). I’ll make sure I say “Hello!” if everything works out, Keith. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

long island jack Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Thanks to Andy and all his helpers for another good weekend, though did seem a little quiet at times and sadly the food wasn't as good as the previous years i've exhibited. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyman7 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 If I recall correctly, Macclesfield was the last event held in 2020 before the curtain came down on exhibitions. So by staging a 2022 show it has become one of a tiny number of events that only lost 1 year as a result of the pandemic! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was delighted to see Franklin Falls at the exhibition and to meet Long Island Jack in person - the layout lived up to expectations. Afraid I can’t comment on the food - but the selection of layouts was very good and it was most enjoyable. 5 hours ago, andyman7 said: If I recall correctly, Macclesfield was the last event held in 2020 before the curtain came down on exhibitions.

Indeed - it was very quiet in 2020 though, as many people were already stepping back from things (but this also meant it felt quite safe there, as it was easy to keep to a distance). I don’t get to many exhibitions, but I find this one well worth the trip. Thanks to all involved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
