RMweb Gold john new Posted May 1, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 1, 2018 To start the ball rolling for the 2019 York Show the initial updates are now on the website. If anyone spots a 2018 reference still lingering somewhere in an entry that I've missed please PM me so I can make the changes. However, other than confirming the dates no significant news yet for 2019. Advance tickets expected from 1 October onwards. Have a good summer - see you all again next year. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterl Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Advance tickets all set up for 1st October start. But please do not order any until 1st October. Causes chaos with the paperwork! Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterl Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 (edited) Ah! we all assume that everybody knows that it is always held at Easter. But the dates change every year .Don't blame us for that! The 2019 Show will be held on Saturday 20th, Sunday 21st & Monday 22nd April 2019. If you have your 2019 diaries make a note now, if you have one of these fangled 'I' phone things then perhaps you could programme it to remind you to order your advance tickets on the 1st October 2018.

RMweb Gold john new Posted September 25, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) Work is ongoing off-line to convert the key pages on the site to WordPress prior to the intended go-live date for Advance Ticket sales on 1st October. As part of preparation for the new Advance Ticket sales season the YMRS website has today also swapped over to secure (https:) status, this may require minor updates to personal bookmarks and other links to our web site. Update: The Door Prices and Opening Times page now also updated for the 2019 Show. 2018's Prices & Times held. (NB Show Guide price still TBC) Other updates for the 2019 Show should follow during October. Edited September 25, 2018 by john new Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold john new Posted September 30, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) For the next couple of hours we will be uploading new replacement pages and removing/redirecting many of the older one's to those on the revised site - we apologise for any confusion and down time during this period. The Box Office for Advance Tickets will be opening from later tonight for both postal/cheque applications and a replacement PayPal based system. However, the PayPal side is is a completely revised system, therefore although our tests indicate it is working we cannot replicate every user's devices therefore please be aware the may be some initial teething problems.

(NB Show Guide price still TBC) Other updates for the 2019 Show should follow during October. Ok a bit later than I intended when I made the above post. Update to URLs We have made what should be the final improvement tweak today by removing the /wordpress/ part of the page URLs for the revised pages. However, this may mean if you have bookmarked the URL of one of our new pages with that element included that will need to be edited out. Testing indicates everything on the live site is working whether in old or new format; however, as usual if you find a bug (or hidden feature) we have missed please tell us so we can track it down and fix it. Further pages will be swapped over when my time permits and they will be available as www.yorkshow.org.uk/ then relevant page reference. Any that will not be converted will stay linked from https://yorkshow.org.uk/legacylinks.htm Traders - The traders page will be the next new version page to be fully checked (Currently live but not fully formatted) therefore if you have a new/revised website address since the 2018 Show can you PM the details please.

RMweb Gold john new Posted February 2, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) The website for the York Show was reported to us recently as down (It wasn't) but as a result of checking it several navigation code and other bugs were discovered and are now fixed. One of the issues was our error, for which we apologise, and was a consequence of the URL change mentioned in the post above. I missed updating some of the in-page links. Thank you for the error reports received, if you find any more I/we've missed please let us know. The attending Layouts list was updated a day or so ago (+8 and -1); however, the other attending stands lists are still to be finalised.

peterl Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Advance tickets via PayPal and the various forms are now being received on a regular basis, so assume that all is well. I try to send them out the day after I receive the order BUT slight delays can occur over the weekends. Sometimes I am away at a Model Railway Show and postal entries don't reach me until after the outgoing post has been collected on a Saturday! One of the problems of living in the wilds of Lincolnshire. Usually those received from Friday on wards would then get posted either Monday or Tuesday. If you do order tickets and have not received the within 15days from when you sent your order please contact me either via the York MRS website or a PM from here. Look forward to seeing you at York in April. Peter 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold john new Posted February 10, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 10, 2019 The traders page now re-formatted for the new Wordpress version. All links tested and validated. A further embedded page navigation error that was missed in the conversion from http to https now also fixed.

Will post notice here when I've added them to the site (Probably on Sunday). Although some further work is necessary, including linking the Society listing entries to their websites and adding the demonstration topics, the details of all the stands & traders for 2019 are now live on the site. The conversion work needed on the site following the changes made in January by Wordpress (release 5.0 & the switch to Gutenberg blocks) has had less of an impact than those for this forum; however, I am still finding and correcting the occasional unexpected issue. If you find one do let me know so I can fix it. The remaining pages, including travel details, will be reviewed/updated prior to the show date. NB A1 Models - could you check your entry on the Traders page please as the weblink you had previously supplied no longer works. Edited February 17, 2019 by john new Added the NB footnote.

peterl Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Steady stream of advance tickets requests. If you are ordering by post, either using the form from the website of using a leaflet picked up at a Show or elsewhere please make sure that you have included a stamped self-addressed envelope so that we can send the tickets to you. Tickets are also available at a number of Shows. Just look for the 'York Model Railway Show' stand and request the tickets that you want. Who ever is manning the stand will be more than happy to oblige. Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMal Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 The York Show stand will be at Preston this weekend (2nd & 3rd March). Advance tickets will be on sale. Saves "fiddling" about with postage. Mal 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold john new Posted March 8, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) Some minor updates today to the listings for Layouts (-1) & Traders (+2). The Demonstration topics are now listed. Links available from https://yorkshow.org.uk/updates-2/ The Layouts listings are now searchable and the data table is also now reactive to screen size. If you don't see us at Preston Advance ticket ordering remains available until the Box Office closes on 8 April.
