robertcwp Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Yes - there is a tea room and urn for layouts and demonstrators. Cups would be very helpful...and trays... I exhibited at AP a few years ago and have absolutely no recollection of what the catering was like, which suggests it was OK! I always take my own mug and teabags (decaf) when helping to exhibit Harton Gill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisf Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Yes - there is a tea room and urn for layouts and demonstrators. Cups would be very helpful...and trays... A friend who is helping with making tea tells me that a second urn would also be very helpful! Chris 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasatcopthorne Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hi Dave, In order to receive your BRM discount, you need to enter your subscriber number prefixed with L17 in the promotion code box on the next page.

Thanks Philippa PM sent but no reply as yet. Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethashenden Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 We (The MRC) have a supply of hi viz for any of the layouts and demos who haven't or forget theirs. However it would be very helpful if those who have got them to bring them please as we won't have enough for everyone. As usual we are happy to deal with an questions or concerns directly. We introduced risk assessments etc for several of our own activities a while ago - and like the idea or not it certainly got our members to think a bit more about themselves and others. Almost all of it is "common sense" but the act of seeing it printed out in black and white seems to be helpful for some. Tom Steel toe shoes packed!

admiles Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 GE mainline appears to be closed this weekend (Crossrail work most likely) which kind of puts the scuppers on a train from Ipswich. Not sure if I want to risk taking the car and finding nowhere to park. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold bourneagain Posted March 22, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 22, 2017 GE mainline appears to be closed this weekend (Crossrail work most likely) which kind of puts the scuppers on a train from Ipswich. Not sure if I want to risk taking the car and finding nowhere to park. There is quite a considerable amount of free on site car parking space, so you should have no worries whatsoever with not being able to park in one of the car parks. If you look on Google Earth you will be able to see the car parks, one area is adjacent to the Ice Rink / BBC transmission tower end of the venue and the other, larger car park is at the bottom of the hill from the main entrance with a free bus service back upto the top if you are not inclined to walk.

dasatcopthorne Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) After my problem getting my subscibers' ticket, it's all now resolved by BRM getting the ticket factory to call me and do the deal on the phone. ETICKET arrived in 2 or 3 mins. Ultimately turned out to be partly my fault, so thanks to BRM staff for sorting it.

RMweb Gold nickwood Posted March 24, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 24, 2017 Much Murkle is prepared and ready for the journey this morning to Alexandra Palace for the London Festival of Railway Modelling. Just waiting for the van to arrive so that we can load up and get on our way. Hope to see and get to chat with lots of RMwebbers over the weekend. Hopefully we will provide a small distraction to the throngs around the other great layouts in our immediate vicinity, Canada Street, Leysdown Eaton Gomery, Hope under Dinmore and Towcester. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
