RMweb Premium ullypug Posted November 13, 2009 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 13, 2009 Just 2 weeks until Expo EM South which is always a good show. Saturday 28 November The Admiral Lord Nelson School Dundas Lane Portsmouth PO2 5XT 10:30 - 16:30 Non-members ??4, members ??3 Layouts P4: Ravenscroft Midland Sidings EM: Elm Park Hope-under-Dinmore Kentside Prospect Wharf Weston WCPR Masses of demonstrators or whatever the collective term is and a few traders too. Catering is always excellent and the venue is really good. It's a pity that this may be the last Expo EM South, but we'll be giving it a good send off if it is.

RMweb Gold kipford Posted November 22, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 22, 2009 A bump for this show but also to ask people to attend as this will be last Expo EM South, the EMGS board having decided to stop the show. I have helped out at every one of the last 16 shows and I am sure my fellow clube members at the SHMRC along with Peter Watson and his gang from Dorset would love the show to go out with a bang.

Ron Ron Ron Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 A bump for this show but also to ask people to attend as this will be last Expo EM South, the EMGS board having decided to stop the show...... What ??? That's a huge shame...well it is for me as it's reasonably local and has always been a nice (if small'ish) show to attend. Does this indicate that Expo EM is staying "down South" for the forseable future? . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this indicate that Expo EM is staying "down South" for the forseable future? . We have decided that we will not be running expoEM South next year in its current form for a number of reasons. However we are considering alternative event formats for next year. So as they say.....watch this space and of course we'll keep members informed via our quarterly newsletter and others as appropriate. And on the subject of those EMGS members in West/southern England you will have noted that our Members Day/AGM is on 20 Feb in Chippenham. For many years it was always in the London area but we took a policy decisions a few years ago to move it round the county. We have had 2 very successful members days oop North in Wakefield and one at Bletchley Park. So we are now moving west for next year to Chippenham. So if you are a member and withinh reach then get it in ya diary. Graeme Vickery Secretary EMGS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy C Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 We took Spotland Bridge down a few years back and enjoyed the show, but it was a marathon trek for a one day show from up here, the land where men are men and sheep are worried. We (Ian W and myself) were both surprised how few folk attended considering the supposed amount of members in the area, because it was a really quality event. This year looks good as well and id thoroughly recommend having a visit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Ron Ron Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 As if traffic isn't bad enough round there on a Saturday, Eastern Road will be busier than normal today as Pompey are at home to Manchester United. 1 - 3 pm and 5 - 6 pm the roads may be very busy. .

Coombe Barton Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Unfortunately unable to make the trek - have been working today with loads of potential 2010 entry undergrads. Needed the finescale fix, quite honestly, but have to wait for Watford in February. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ullypug Posted November 28, 2009 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 28, 2009 Home and packed away. A very enjoyable day and thanks to Tony and all the South Hants boys for putting the show on, as well as the other EMGS members who helped. It seemed very busy today, in contrast to former years. Maybe the weather or the threat of there not being another one. Well it looks if there will be some form of event next year which is good. One or two RM Webbers came and said hello and I'm pleased to say that Weston behaved itself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold kipford Posted November 29, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 29, 2009 Andrew Can only agree it was a great show, I understand the figures were up on previuos years. All the layouts were of a very high standard and a credit to the EMGS. Lets hope that what ever happens next year is as much fun. PS I loved your quirky stock.
