34th Uckfield Model Railway Exhibition - 20th/21st October 2018

[Greengiant]

Thank you for all your kind messages, its very much appreciated by the Club and makes it all worthwhile.

 

For the record a couple of Awards were made over the weekend.

 

The Keith Nock Memorial Trophy - the "best in show" as voted for by exhibitors, members of the trade and Uckfield MRC members - was awarded to Foxcote New Pit, the 2mm/ft finescale layout constructed by Jerry Clifford. Runner up was Hinksey Yard in British N by the Epsom & Ewell Model Railway Club.

 

The Best in Show plaque - the "best in show" as voted for by our visiting public - was awarded to The Yard, the 0 & 0-16.5 layout constructed by Martin Coombs and friends. We had joint runners up with Hinksey Yard in British N by the Epsom & Ewell Model Railway Club and the narrow gauge Hobbiton End in 5.5mm scale by Simon Addelsee sharing the honours.

 

For those interested the honours were also shared for the infamous Saturday evening social quiz. Teams from Clevedon and St Blazey/Foxcote New Pit went away with the chocolates. One team scored a perfect score in one of the rounds - note to self, must make it more difficult!

 

A full retrospective has now been uploaded to the Club's website: http://www.uckfieldmrc.co.uk/exhib18nf.html

 

Provisional details for the 35th Uckfield Model Railway Exhibition being held on the 19th & 20th October 2019 have also been uploaded.

We had a great time and were well looked after at the show by Adrian and his team, the icing on the cake for us was wining the vistor award with ‘The Yard’, we were very pleased, the layout is a team effort biuld by Ken, Neale, Simon and myself.
