4mm Modellers Workshop
Saturday 4th November 2017

Wells Town Hall
10.30 am - 4.30pm
Admission: 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.

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.

Just back from helping Dave of Gascupboard models. A really very enjoyable day. Lots of chat, some lovely models to look at and plentiful cake - what's not to like!!

Glad it all went well. I would so liked to have gone, but realistically it wasn't going to be possible.

Thanks for the comments. I thought was a great little day and I'm glad that everyone else seemed to think so too.

Some pictures of the day:

Sadly I was unable to attend due to work.

 

 

Is this an annual event?

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.
