cromptonnut Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Weather permitting, I hope to attend. Now I'm "out of London" it's a very simple direct train journey and a short walk to the Angel Centre. Certainly enjoyed last year's show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm "out of London" it's a very simple direct train journey and a short walk to the Angel Centre. Certainly enjoyed last year's show. Will look to give travel updates (any engineering works that may affect services) as soon as I can. Glad you enjoyed the show. Colin Looking forward to bringing Holm to Kent.

westerner Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Hi Colin, whist we on RMWeb know through your posts what is going to be at the exhibition, anybody just looking at your clubs website would only think that there are going to be 8 or 9 layouts there. I think the website needs updating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the website needs updating. Thanks Alan, We had hoped to do this over the Christmas period, but unfortunately the bad weather we had in Kent had us busy making sure that we didn't suffer too much with the flooding. Will get onto it shortly Colin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinW Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Can I advise that as we have C&L Finescale providing a stand at the show this year, anyone wishing to order through them and collect it at the show, then they need to have the order done by Monday 10th February.

ColinW Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 I have been able to check and can now inform people planning to travel by train to the show, that there are no engineering works planned that will affect services to Tonbridge on the day of the show. Tonbridge is served by trains from Hastings, Ashford International, Canterbury, Folkestone, Dover, Redhill, London Bridge, Waterloo East & London Charing Cross. There are several trains each hour from London. When people arrive at Tonbridge, turn left on exiting the station and walk towards the Sainsbury's that is in view immediately. The Angel Centre is at the end of this set of buildings. Colin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColinW Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 Do you know who's doing the demos this year Colin?? Looking forward to coming along. Steve Sharp will be demonstrating scratchbuilding 7mm Loco's & Rolling Stock from plasticard (he does do 4mm things as well) and club member Jim Filmore will be demonstrating buildings. We also have some more (!) confirmations to add. We will have a stand for the SNCF Society, Seaboard Southern & Supercast. In total we will have 65 stands at the show this year.

ColinW Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 One of our members was asked at Canterbury, as to what was happening with the show, as they had heard it was cancelled because of the flooding that affected Tonbridge over the Christmas period. This is completely untrue and the Angel Centre itself was not even affected by the flooding despite its close proximity to part of the River Medway Colin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinW Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 For people intending to drive to the exhibition, can I advise that there WILL NOT be road signs for the exhibtion itself. We advise that people follow the signs for the railway station, and then pick up on road signs for Sainsbury's/Angel Centre. There are several pay & display car parks available within close walking distance of the Angel Centre. Colin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Angel Centre is at the end of this set of buildings. Colin Due to the recent bad weather there has been several landslides on the line from Hastings and as such services from Hastings to Tonbridge & London are being badly affected. I would also like to say that despite the bad weather leading to the Medway's level rising, there has been no further flooding in Tonbridge.

invercloy Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Regretfully I've had to withdraw Isle Ornsay from appearing at the show. Due to the continued bad weather I'm likely to be staying on shift patterns at work for the foreseeable future. Apologies to anyone who was expecting to see it there. The layout will be appearing next at Narrow Gauge South at Sparsholt in April (if the b****y rain stops!). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColinW Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Unfortunately the Severn Valley Railway stand has had to withdraw, because Roger Hart, who runs the stand with his wife, Has suffered a stroke. The club would like to wish Roger a full and speedy recovery from this. Colin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
