durham light infantry Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Ahha back to you Martin, I did know of your elevation to the peerage but can you do two jobs at once? The serious money is on NO! My advice to you is not to trust your layout to those pair of ner-do-wells. Look what happened the last time you did! Suddenly I feel a cold blast blowing down my neck! You'll be sorry. P.S. Have a good weekend! Don't worry John, I am on Kinmundy duty all weekend. If he shows up near the layout he will be prodded back in the direction of the Stewards office.

Still, it's akin to "Care in the Community". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterl Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Just a note to all those intending to visit the Show this year. York Racecourse is undergoing some major refurbishment. This WILL NOT directly affect the Show as the work is being done in the vicinity of the entrance end of Racecourse Road. Depending how far the contractors have actually got with the work the width of the road may be reduced, although there will be plenty of room for two cars to pass. Those attending on the Saturday will be aware that a car boot sale also takes place that morning so the traffic might be a bit slow moving. Give yourself a bit of extra time to get there to be on the safe side. As usual it will be easier on the Sunday and Monday as no car boot sale!!!!!!

hmrspaul Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Have a good time with Kimundy. We wanted to visit the show but hotel prices in York were extortionate. See you in just over a weeks time. Probably because there is a big model railway show on this weekend! You should look at house prices here! Paul Bartlett PS say hallo if you see me wondering around aimlessly on Sunday or Monday, one of Martins minions. Anyone want a layout operator?

The venue will be open from about 10am. Would visitors please, please note that the Show opens on SATURDAY again please follow the signs for parking and entrance to the Show.

MartinWales Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Just adding to what Peter's already said that we are using gate 9 as the entrance. Also there are some REALLY nice layouts there....Ackthorpe, Canada Street, Rovelden, Felton Lane, Marske, Eskmuir, Johnstown Road to name just a few Would also advise getting there early as the crowds will be three deep on some....

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted April 4, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 4, 2015 Hi. I've really enjoyed this years York Show, and spent far too much money! Excellent selection of layouts - Canada Road was one which I particularly liked. All the best, Market65. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
