Dad-1 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I shall be there - looking after 'Green Frog Brewery' which is a visitors drive, Kadee operated shunting layout. One point of note : This year partially due to Covid making things even more difficult we will not have refreshments available at the hall. A shame, but I suppose we're lucky to run it at all this year. Geoff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks; that postcode takes you to the Public Hall, not the Town Hall, presumably they are the same place? Planning to come along, its a LONG time since I attended a show. Cheers, Dave.

RMweb Gold Downendian Posted January 11, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 11, 2022 I believe them to be one and the same, the public hall is the HQ of Beaminster town council, 8 Fleet Street. The best place to park in Beaminster is the Yarn Barton car park anyway behind the public (town) hall unless you get lucky and find a place in the square which is (or was) free. However, I’ve not been there post COVID, so parking may not be the issue it was. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold john new Posted January 11, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 11, 2022 Not sure I can make Saturday - will you again be holding the bigger summer one at Colfox later this year, and IIRC you've also done at least one in West Bay, or will it just be this small one in Beaminster?

rocketron55 Posted January 12, 2022 Author Share Posted January 12, 2022 We do plan to hold our usual summer exhibition at the Colfox Academy, Bridport in July, but it's going to depend on whether Colfox will allow us to use the premises in light of any Covid restrictions that they might have.

Dad-1 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 It wasn't quite the same without bacon butties. Other than that it was a good day with many smiling faces, so many getting out to an exhibition the first time for quite a while. Running a layout kept me busy, but I never felt uncomfortably crowded. Due to uncertainties, even to the end of December as to being able to run, we didn't do any advertising until the last week. We also kept layouts as far as possible to club member and close contacts that would make a last moment cancellation easy. If you came I hope you enjoyed it, next year back to normal ??????

RMweb Premium DLT Posted January 16, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 16, 2022 Really enjoyed my trip to Beaminster yesterday, and was there a long time as I ended up helping operate Axe Valley Mill. Shame about the refreshments, but that's the situation. At least we knew in advance. I brought a flask and sandwiches, and ate them in the market square. Many thanks for holding the show, and for this announcement on RMweb. Even though the publicity was all local and last-minute, there seemed to be a good crowd in, particularly during the afternoon. All the best, Dave. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
