RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted March 1, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 1, 2015 Re the Welshpool show. The Club doesn't meet in Newtown, but at (or technically, near) Garthmyl between Newtown and Welshpool. Our biggest contingent of members comes from Church Stoke. Until recently for a while I was the only member living in Newtown! But the reason the exhibition is in Welshpool is that it is a much better venue than any in Newtown and they make us really welcome. It's right on the main shopping street and so very visible to the passing trade. But all those reading this are more than welcome of course. Last year we had 500 through the door, a record for recent years. Help us to beat that in 2015. I'll post details in the Exhibitions thread when they are finalised by our tireless Secretary.

RMweb Gold Huw Griffiths Posted April 17, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) I've never been to the NEWGOG show - well, to be honest, I've never been inside the Lysaght, either. What's this show normally like - much in the way of layouts - trade support - demonstrators - that sort of stuff?

steve fay Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 This is its second year, it's a great location recently renovated, last year was one room this year it's two, good trade support about 5 layouts and a big test track. I was there last year with my Canton this year I'm just visiting. It's run by Fred Lewis sponsored by the gauge o guild. well worth a visit Opens at 10AM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarryscapes Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Sat 24 Oct 2015 Welshpool ...............................Well it's the Newtown club, but they are holding it in Welshpool. That's the Welsh for you, but is so typical as the Colwyn club hold their show in Llandudno. Perhaps they ought to hold the Cardiff show in Barry? Any predictions about the score this evening? I don't think we'll see another 30-3 this time (more's the pity) Ooh that being my birthday looks like I know what I'm doing now! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDolfelin Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Any news about a date for the Colwyn/Llandudno Show please? (I was going to say 'in case SWMBO can't make it' but thought it might confuse the issue). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted July 16, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 16, 2015 I read elsewhere that the Cardiff show has been cancelled because it clashes with the Rugby World Cup. Can anyone confirm? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
br2975 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I'm given to understand that is correct. Due to the RWC matches there is a lack of reasonably priced hotel rooms in the city where exhibitors and demonstrators can be accommodated. The nearest reasonably priced hotel rooms are in Swansea, Gloucester and Aust, too far away to expect them to travel back and fore during the show. I'm told he organisers attempted to set a new date a week or two later, but the venue was unavailable. As a result the 2015 show appears to have been cancelled.

RandyWales Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Hi all... Just a quick reminder that Swansea Railway Modellers Group is staging a FREE exhibition next weekend Oct 3rd/4th at the Waterfront Museum in Swansea. Several layouts, traders and demonstrations. http://srmg.org.uk/2015-show/ Randall 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jongudmund Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I liked the Swansea show and there seemed to be a good few kids looking at the layouts as well, which was good to see. My favourite lay-out, I have to admit, was the Vale of Rheidol narrow gauge that looped round itself three times in a circuit. Good fun to see. There were some really nice looking much larger models there too (Gauge 3 or bigger). I went with an engineer and her soon-to-be husband. Hopefully they will get the model railway bug.

BG John Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 It seems that exhibitions are a bit like buses in my sleepy part of West Wales. Nothing for ages, then two come along at once! 24th October - West Wales O Gauge Group in Carmarthen - http://www.ukmodelshops.co.uk/events/10204-OpenDay 24th October - Model Rail Show, National Wool Museum, Drefach Felindre - http://www.museumwales.ac.uk/wool/whatson/8402/Model-Rail-Show-/ I suppose it will have to be a frantic drive to get to both of them, rather than the planned leisurely bus trip to Carmarthen, although the bus does pass the Wool Museum on the way to Carmarthen.

two tone green Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I will be at the Carmarthen show doing a DCC PC Control demo. Always a nice show, well worth a visit even if you are not into 7mm. A great friendly bunch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG John Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I think local events are kept secret. I only discovered the one two miles down the road because someone exhibiting there happened to mention it on the Narrow Gauge Modelling Online forum last night. And I was aware the the O Gauge one may be happening sometime so went Googling for it. Apparently there's a general modelling exhibition in Hermon (Pembrokeshire) next month, but the internet doesn't seem to know about it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

two tone green Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Its the show that is the attraction and does not always involve spending money. The catering is good and cheap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penlan Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I've found the Welsh to be extremely secretive about their exhibitions, apart from Cardiff MRC's.Oh, and Swansea has appeared on RMweb too. Carmarthen, I must look that up as I'm seeking some local knowledge (OK, Llandileo) on a PO wagon who's owner I cannot trace anywhere in Directories etc., Dunn & Co., Llandilo (sic) circa 1920.
