DAY
12 April 2013 13 April 2013
This two-day conference, organised by A2SN and supported by the
Postal History Society, the Business Archives Council and the Historical
Model Railway Society is the second in a series begun in 2012.
For full details and booking form please see: http://www.hmrs.org.uk/whatson/AAAA_Final_Flyer_2012_12_13.pdf
The conferences seek to explore and expand co-operation between
volunteer-led societies involved in business history fields and the academics,
archivists and museum professionals working in the same
areas. The events aim to prompt an awareness of what these various
groups are doing, and to start a dialogue between the enthusiast and
academic which may lead to co-operation in preserving and using
collections, and furthering our understanding of the past and its relevance
to the future.
Friday is at the London Metropolitan Archives and Saturday is at the London Docklands and the Sainsbury Archive . You can attend either one or both days.
Two brilliant days - definitely not to be missed, whatever your historical interest is

WMRA Annual Exhibition
By Robin Brasher,
Excellent show. plenty of free parking, over 30 layouts, lots of traders and full catering. I liked the scenery on the illustrated 009 gauge Feorag layout set in an imaginary island west of Cornwall. TT:120 seems to be well received with two small oval layouts on display.

Macclesfield Model Railway Group's Annual Exhibition ( PLEASE NOTE: NEW VENUE!!!! )
By Merfyn Jones,
I was there for a MBF meeting/exhibition last Saturday. Excelent hall with all the facilities you need.
The bus from the station was a very good help for those that want to come by train rather than drive.

Swansea Model Railway Exhibition
By Cymru Rails,
The Swansea Railway Modellers Group does an excellent job every year with this one, and it is well worth attending. It always features a fabulous set of layouts, traders, and societies on display. If you weren’t able to attend this year, check out my video to give you an idea of what to expect at the show and make sure to attend in 2026: Swansea Model Railway Exhibition 2025
