Dave Harding of The Model Shop, Exeter, will be back with us again this year, with his usual range of R-T-R items and other bits and pieces. Why not try giving him a call in advance of the event, he’s happy to bring items up for ‘special orders’ –check out his website here - http://www.trainsandtrack.co.uk/

** New this year - Bring & Buy stall ** - Phil Copleston wil be proving details soon

Catering - details to be confirmed

Saturday 29^th April

This year the majority of the Saturday is free for those who wish to come down to Somerset early, to spend time as they wish. Heritage railways such as the West Somerset Railway and the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway are close by, for example.

I can also confirm that Taunton MRG have once again agreed to open their clubroom at Bishops Lydeard station specially for us from 1700 to 1900 hrs on the Saturday, with the usual warm and friendly welcome.

** Please Note **

The SWAG weekend this year synchronises (clashes??) with the WSR Steam Gala weekend, For those who happen to be interested you will find some details here -

But the really IMPORTANT NOTICE is in respect of our Saturday visit to the Taunton MRG's layouts Tamerig and Bath Green Park. Because of the gala these layouts will be open to public visitors over the Gala weekend therefore if you are visiting on Saturday late afternoon/evening as an RMweb member please do not present yourself at 'the hut' before 17.00 (unless you want to be part of the ordinary public access). It has been arranged with Taunton MRG that they will close to the 'ordinary public' just before 17.00 on the Saturday and re-open immediately after 17.00 for us lot.

No doubt the gala weekend might have some impact on car parking as well

After visiting Taunton MRG we will continue to The Lethbridge Arms, Bishops Lydeard. More information on the pub can be found here http://www.thelethbr...pub.co.uk/index
