RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted April 25, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 25, 2010 Well folks, here is a new thread for the 2011 Taunton Members Day! Yes, there is definitely going to be one, and it will be on Sunday 24th April 2011. It will again be in Staplegrove Village Hall, and this time we have booked both of the halls for exhibits, demos etc. I have been in touch with a number of kind folk as regards layouts, but I won't be announcing any line up just yet. So, do please put the dates in your diaries (which is perhaps a bit daft, because I don't know many people who've got a 2011 diary yet, but you know what I mean! ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss LMS Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Can't wait for 2011, I really enjoyed coming down to the West Country and meeting new people and had a brilliant time in the kitchen. Here's to 2011 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Endacott Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 24th April 2011 is Easter Sunday (almost as late as Easter can get). I wonder if this will affect the plans. Geoff Endacott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah - that might be useful Cap'n as my wedding anniversary falls on the 23rd (herself chose that day on the basis that as it is noted in diaries even I couldn't forget it - hmm ) and that could be a problem...

PhilEakins Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 OK, nailing colours to the mast (again) - I will have something running by 2011, LCDR pre-1900ish, but promising nothing more. Darn people having good memories ..... and then reminding me! No fair. Phil PS If I'm playing trains, who's going to demo the RSU ..? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Mr.S.corn78 Posted April 27, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 27, 2010 Darn people having good memories ..... and then reminding me! No fair. Dont worry Phil, he got me as well with the layout thing. I thought i may have got away with it, if it wasnt for the pesky Captain Got two hands, 'aintcha?! Don't even think about asking me to do a DCC demo and the layout, unless you can persuade my brother to come down as well. cheers Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Hi Tim. Any use for a box-file (well, two box files actually) layout in British 7mm for next years event? I was so taken with Port Byhan that I've made a start on my own micro layout now. 3 sidings, room for 5 wagons (box file #1), plus a fiddle/switching lead for a loco plus 1/2 wagons on the second box file (with maybe a bit overhanging). Scoped it out in real-dimensions last night and it works. Won't take up much room, Tim - honestly! One small table should do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Sidecar Racer Posted May 19, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 19, 2010 Hi Tim , have you come to a decision on the date yet ? Not that it is a serious matter as I will be free on any day chosen . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted May 19, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 19, 2010 Good Captain Sir, If there is room, I can bring a layout - possibly Polbraze, but I might have one or two new boxfile layouts by then as well. Stu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted May 22, 2010 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 22, 2010 Following a lot of discussion over the last few weeks, I have now finalised the date for next year, and we have decided to avoid the Easter weekend, and go for the previous weekend. The 2011 Taunton Members Day will, therefore, be held on Sunday 17th April 2011. We have booked both halls this time, so the event will be larger than the previous three years.

Well that suits me Cap'n - marital problems (such as my early admission to a casualty ward) would seem to be avoided by that change, ta Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Sidecar Racer Posted May 22, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 22, 2010 Nice to have it finalised , although I was looking forward to having the Monday off , oh , hang on , I'm retired so I get every day off . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim-minay Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 hi guys, not sure if you have seen the thread in the SWAG section, but the captain has allowed a small modular chain of layouts in the coming SWAG members day in Taunton 2011. The size should be around roughly 1ft x 3ft and should ideally be a south western theme (ranging from Cornwall to Bristol I guess!!!) and should be just plain code 100 track ,sure we could each bring a bit of rolling stock (unless you model P4 or somthing)as little expense as possible should be used during construction. i will post a diagram later on about where the track should meet and the thickness of the board, but i was hoping to get a general idea of interest, so please comment on this thread if you wish to take part. Many thanks for your time, Tim ps. sure a small prize for the best module could be arranged???......... free pasty? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penlan Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 ...... I was looking forward to having the Monday off , oh , hang on , I'm retired so I get every day off. "..I get every day off" - I think you'll find it's every day off from having a rest.... unless of course you've just retired, give it a little time and you'll probably end up saying something like "... I think I will get a full time job again, I had more time to myself then. Or of course, it maybe I'm totally disorganised as I approach 70 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthesnail96 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Taunton eh? As a SW newbie I shall have to trundle my merry way down I think! No layout (well, not anything worth showing) but I might be cheeky and bring some stock to run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said , I am in the final throws of a property purchase , the place I am buying needs a fair ammount of redecoration and tidying up , so there will be some work to do . But it does come with a 32' x 9'6'' garage , now can anyone suggest a good use for that ? B) Now back to the work bench to see if I can get this chassis running smoothly .

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted January 10, 2011 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 10, 2011 the captain has allowed a small modular chain of layouts in the coming SWAG members day in Taunton 2011 Just to correct this, folks, the modular display will be at the 2012 event, not this year - more details in the relevant thread. In the meantime, I am hoping to confirm in the near future, a very exciting line-up of layouts and displays for 2011! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
