pharrc20 Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 Hello All, here are the final exhibitors and traders booked to come to the Hazel Grove exhibition on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th October 2018. Important: There have also been some changes forced upon this year: Firstly, regarding the catering for the visiting public in that we have lost the use of the school canteen and kitchens so we have an alternative plan in place to feed and water the public. And don't worry exhibitors and traders will be catered for as well. Secondly, as you will hopefully be aware but the RMT have announced some further strike dates and this includes Saturday 27th. Although we don't know what service they plan to run on the 27th be it an hourly service Manchester Piccadilly to Buxton or worse still a rail replacement bus or coach. Our plan is to still provide the free vintage shuttle bus to and from Hazel Grove Station and the Exhibition to try and meet the incoming trains from Manchester. Now if they stick to what is planned for this coming Saturday 20th then the timetable is planned for an hourly service from Piccadilly departing at 08:24 then xx:24 or xx:25; Stockport departing xx:34/35; Hazel Grove arriving xx:48. Coming from Buxton they depart there at xx:35 and arrive at Hazel Grove at xx:10; Stockport xx:20 and finally Piccadilly xx:35/36. Please check the National Rail Timetables either online or at your local station to find out what the actual service will be on the 27th but I will update myself on here next week. Exhibitors: Martin Jones - Kinmundy - Diesel EM Richard Smith - Welney Depot - 1960's Tramway OO Danny Kaye - Yorkshire Coast Electric Tramway - Tram OO Dave Haughton - Scrich Model Tramway Museum - Tram OO HGDMRS - Hazel Valley - Blue Diesel OO HGDMRS - Ash Valley - Steam O Paul Humphreys - Stepzon Hertz - Lego Layout HGDMRS - Hazeltown *- Anything OO Mark Howarth - Kexby - Steam OO Ryan Brown - Low Moor - Steam N Russell Hampson - Patricroft Low - Blue Diesel OO Simon Cullen - Westmoor Junction - Blue Diesel OO Traders: Crafty Hobbies Made in Manchester Models Booklaw Publications High Lane Model Railways North Western Models Axminster Tools & Machinery Country Scenes & Trees PowerBond and of course our famous Club Sales Stand with models, books, dvds, odds and sods for sale Hazel Grove High School, Jackson's Lane, Hazel Grove SK7 5JX Saturday 27th October 2018 Opening times: 10am to 5pm Sunday 28th October 2018 Opening times: 10am to 4pm Admission: Adults £7 (accompanied children go free) Child £3 Ample free parking on site or park at Hazel Grove Station courtesy of Northern Rail and use the vintage bus to get to the show.

pharrc20 Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Hello All, a further update to the RMT/Northern strike - a timetable has now been added to the Northern site https://www.northernrailway.co.uk/strike and in particular timetable N20**Please bear in mind - any visitors intending to travel to and from Hazel Grove by train on Saturday are strongly urged to check if train services are actually running on the day themselves.**I will confirm the plan for the heritage shuttle bus from the exhibition to the train station and what time and frequency they will operate but I believe a bus every half hour with lunchtime break both days was the planned timetable.Regards Paul Edited Edited October 25, 2018 by pharrc20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pharrc20 Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) Quick update the first shuttle bus is intended to arrive at Hazel Grove station for 09.50 and then work the half-hourly timetable from there onwards.

Cheers Paul The layouts being set up whilst we set up our trade stand looked very impressive! The club stand will be getting some of my money in the morning with two locos put to one side for me for my own layout, renumbered DB Schenker Class 66s by Bachmann. Can't wait for the show!

pharrc20 Posted October 29, 2018 Author Share Posted October 29, 2018 Thanks to all of the vistors, exhibitors, traders who made the exhibition possible this year. Our catering substitute worked quite well in the circumstances and thanks must go to our members and The Salvation Army for helping out with their catering van.
