RMweb Premium ullypug Posted October 17, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) 4mm Modellers WorkshopSaturday 4th November 2017 Wells Town Hall10.30 am - 4.30pmAdmission: Visitors £5 - EMGS Members FREE This event is organised by the North West Somerset Group of the EM Gauge Society, for modellers of all abilities, as part of the EM Gauge Society Members Day and AGM. The EM Gauge Society’s AGM will be held in a separate room, at 2.0pm so will not impinge on the workshop. Come and learn, chat and socialize with fellow modellers. The aim of this 4mm Modeller’s Day is to encourage all modellers (be they 4mm of any gauge or other scales) to come and spent a pleasant day watching, talking and doing the things that make model railways such a wonderful hobby. The demonstrators will be very happy to discuss any problems you may have and, depending on the problem, give you hands on experience in sorting the problem out. Alternatively you may wish to discuss the pro’s and con’s of various gauges and if you have any rolling stock give them a run on the test track.At no time will there be anyone telling you that you are in the wrong scale or gauge.With the trade attendance here you should be able to stock up on essentials before the next exhibition.

burgundy Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 The shed master has rostered the regular shunters for Vintners' Yard. Mr York will be hiring casual labour. Hauptmann Kernow and Mr Maddocks will be chatting about the latest vintage from the Mosel. However, you will need to mind where you put your feet and you may want to hold on to your wallet and your pocket watch. Best wishes Eric 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leander Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Sadly I was unable to attend due to work. Is this an annual event? Rob. The EMGS Skills Days are annual events and move around the country, the last being at Littleborough last March; the next being in Kidderminster. at the Railway Museum adjoining the SVR station, in March 2018. The AGM / Modellers' Workshop will also be a 'movable feast' and details of arrangements for next November / December will be published in due course.
