sb67 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Looking forward to this Jack. Is the venue easy to find, I'm guessing Dover Road park and ride would be signposted? Steve. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 Looking forward to this Jack. Is the venue easy to find, I'm guessing Dover Road park and ride would be signposted? Steve. Yes, Dover p&r is well signposted from the Dover side of the city. From Essex i guess you’ll be coming down the a2, in which case your satnav may take you past canterbury and back in frm the dover end (quicker than negotiating the city centre probably). The school is next door to the p&r, and there will be plenty of signs. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sb67 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Thanks Jack, I dont have a sat nav, so I'll stay on the A2 a bit and come off just past Canterbury. Steve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forest2807 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Come off the A2 at the exit for Bridge (it’s a village) and then follow the signs at the top of the slip road to take you back towards Canters and the park and ride. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wot 'ee said!! Take the Bridge turning off the A2 after Canterbury, then keep right at the top of the slip road and follow the signs back into Canterbury (and the Park & Ride).

RMweb Gold tetsudofan Posted January 18, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 18, 2019 Still thinking whether to take the 16 Gold or 17 Scenic bus to Canterbury tomorrow.....maybe 17 to the show and 16 home. Having chatted earlier this afternoon with Kevin of Coastal DCC he confirms that he will be attending the show tomorrow and Sunday despite not being shown on the Trade list above.

C.A.T.Ford Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Just spent a great day at the show! Great Layouts including the last outing for T Wells West Yard. Good balance of traders and I was particularly impressed with the range on Rail Books stand and the depth of products on Kent Garden Railways stand. If you haven't been go tomorrow and they have a good deal for families on Sunday. CAT 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
black and decker boy Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Kirkmellington home and unpacked by 1930 after a cracking weekend. A great show, lots of comments and compliments from the public and a very friendly and welcoming host club and their members. A big thank you from us. Great to finally meet the O of OTCM and see Six Quarters, a wonderfully bleak portrayal of a Cumbrian coal yard and Tarring Neville and its array of industrials.

Jack Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 A huge thanks to everyone who came along last weekend, as exhibitors, visitors and traders. It was our 30th anniversary show, and we were very pleased with it. And thankfully the weather was kind, if a little nippy!! We're working on a gallary on our website for pictures of the superb layouts which attended, and I'll let you know as soon as thats working. In the meantime, next years show will be on the 18th and 19th January 2020. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
