ANT Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 A pity your dates clash with the Biggleswade show. Regards Hello Unfortunately, we do clash from time to time either with Biggleswade and or the Milton Keynes exhibitions, we take our date as the last Saturday of the half-term break, so we are governed by the Bucks School Calendar, and we have done so for over thirty years. Though if you have time you could come to both! Thanks SEEYA ANT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANT Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 Hello As it is just over a week to go to the exhibition, I thought that I would post the front cover of our small free programme. Thanks SEEYAANT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANT Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 Hello All Unfortunately we have had the layout Tanybwlch drop out due to family reasons. We now have a gap to hopefully fill, (10ft by 5ft including operator space), so will let you know of its replacement when we do, but if you can help please pm me.

mike morley Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 The AA's routefinder service thinks HP27 9AX is on the Bledlow Road, out towards Saunderton. As some species of SatNav probably use the same software it might be an idea to check where you're being sent before you set off. RAC's routfinder, Streetmap etc all have the postcode in the right place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmsforever Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Best way is to head for the high st and turn right at the market cross and drive down to car park simples!!!!! Looking forward to seeing everybody. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenrithBeacon Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 If you think this is going to be an issue this is the way I resolve it: Bring up google earth and identify the car park right outside the community centre. Compare the street pattern on google earth with the street pattern on the satnav and put in a waypoint on the satnav. Then set up a route to the waypoint.

Thanks SEEYA ANT Hello All The replacement layout is Amworth by Ron North, OO gauge, based on the Western Region of British Rail, is a fictional light railway terminus in a rural setting.

ANT Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 Hello All Well, we had a great show on Saturday, so many thanks to all who came along. I was only on the Secondhand stall for a short while in the afternoon, though I spent most of my time taking to people. Don't know many numbers, but I was told that you could not move in the morning due to the numbers, so that's good, and plenty of cake was had by all! I have uploaded the photos that I took of the layouts to the Club website, below is a direct link to the page: http://www.rdmrc.org.uk/risex2017pics.htm Plus here are some photos of the main hall taken during the afternoon: Thanks SEEYAANT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FraserClarke Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Came along with my young son towards the end of the day, when I think things had calmed down a bit. Spent a good few hours looking round; though my son was a bit too effective at stopping me buying anything by dragging me away from the second hand stalls Was very pleased to see a goodly selection of chairs by the layouts, and even some "RDMRC" marked stools -- this is a real back-saver with young kids! Thanks for a good show! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D1059 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Thanks for inviting us - the layout behaved (mostly) all day and we enjoyed ourselves. The cakes were indeed delicious and I was still enjoying slices of Victoria Sponge on Sunday evening as the leftovers were given away as we departed the show Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
