He does like to get them in early, I know I booked Peafore Yard for this show back in April 2011, I was chatting with him the other day and he was booking for 2018 already.

37114 Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 I forgot to mention the proceeds from this show go to children's cancer charity CLIC, since 1985 the show has raised £31,662 for CLIC, let's hope this one takes them past £32,000 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks very much but I think Mike may have been referring to my friend Alex Raybould with his layout Westbridge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium HillsideDepot Posted April 7, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 7, 2015 Thanks for the tip-off. For those of us going by bus Stagecoach West say: Service D DiversionLast Updated: 30 March 2015 8:42 AM 27th April - 5th May 2015 Please be advised of the following temporary road closure:- Windermere Road, Cheltenham This road will be closed from 27th April to 5th May 2015 for carriageway resurfacing work by Amey on behalf of Gloucestershire County Council. Service D will therefore divert by following Alma Road until it reaches the junction with Caernarvon Road, where it will turn right. The service will continue along this road until it reaches Hatherley Road, where it will rejoin the normal route. The nearest bus stop to Windermere Road will be a temporary bus stop on Alma Road by One Stop Road or by Caernarvon Park. If you should require further information please contact Amey Gloucestershire on 08000 514514 or Cheltenham Travel Shop on 01242 544120 Services Affected: D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
37114 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Thanks Adrian, looking at the map the diversion looks straightforward. Peafore Yard had the final tests tonight, finger crossed all goes well on Saturday: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

37114 Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 Very enjoyable 2 days, great to see so many RMwebbers and as always Mike put on a great show, good quality of layouts and always a nice relaxed atmosphere.Great to see Orchard Road in the flesh, the detail inside of the shed is incredible ( I found the coat hanger eventually!) The presence of some excellent 009 layouts has given me a few ideas for the next layout if I do something other than blue diesels Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
