7mmNGA Trent Valley Area Group Modelling Day – 32nd January 2025
Our annual January Modelling Day in 2025 will take place on the 1st February 2025 (or the 32nd January as we are calling it). As always it's a chance to speak to like minded modellers and demonstrators whilst consuming tea, coffee, bacon butties and copious amounts of cake.
We look forward to seeing you all there!
If you are travelling by train, the suggested station (Peartree) is not advisable as this is miles away from the venue. Please get the train to Derby station, and then walk across to the bus station in the city centre. Here you will be able to catch one of the 'Mickleover' buses which will drop you right outside the venue (They are bright pink so you can't miss them!) or catch the yellow 'The Villager' buses, we have a new fleet on the Villager route and each bus is adorned with a different animal.
10am to 4pm on Saturday 1st February 2025.
Our Lady of Lourdes Church Hall, 36 Uttoxeter Road Mickleoever, Derby, DE3 9GE.
Admission: Adults £5.00.
Contact Details: [email protected]. www.henmoredale.org.uk 01283 733914
Nearest Railway Station: Derby and catch either ‘The Mickleover’ or ‘The Villager’ buses from the bus station.
