Manchester MMRS Exhibition 6th/7th October 2012

Hello and welcome to the first publication of details for the Manchester Model Railway Societies 2012 exhibition. This will be our 76th show and follows on from our exquisite 75th show last year. This is the first large exhibition that I have managed so I do hope I can count on your support! Although I am ‘in charge’ (& accountable!), I do have quite a large team at my disposal so firstly, I want to give my thanks to them and my predecessor, Andy Cooper who I assisted last year and who is assisting me this year.

The location will be the same as for the previous two years, The Armitage Centre, Moseley Road, Fallowfield, Manchester. M14 6ZT.

Saturday 6th October 2012 10AM to 6PM

Sunday 7th October 2012 10AM to 5PM

This year we will have new caterers so there should be a better meal service available.
