   Our 50th anniversary exhibition featuring over 30 layouts and demonstrators from around the country. We have tried to bring layouts not seen in the area before plus a few local favourites and some which feature models from 50 years (or more ago).
    
   A new feature of our show this year is our "club room". This is a dedicated room in which we will present a number of current layout projects currently being undertaken within the club plus our drive a train layout. Possibly the most exciting new development in this room will be our new modelling tables where children (old and young) can try their hand at kit building under the watchful eye and guidance of our members. We thank Peco, Freestone Models and Squires for their support with these tables.
