Axlebox Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Its that time of the year again when the Reivers from across the disputed lands get together for a day of model railwaying with a distinct twist towards the finescale...all in a village hall at Stannington, Northumberland. The North East and Borders section of the EM Gauge Society will be holding their annual Workshop Wise show from 10:30am to 5pm on Saturday 8th October at Stannington Village Hall... A plethora of quality layouts, including a first outing for part of Richard Nice's 'Barnard Castle' (EM), a trip south for Ray Nolton's 'United Mills' (P4), Graham Hudson's award winning 'West End Drift' (EM) and Mick Simpson's collaboration with Iain Rice, 'Pit Hill' (2mmFS)...are just 4 of the invited layouts. There will be up to 9 demonstrators on hand working on every aspect of model railways. Famous local author, Dave Dunn is back this year with a show of railway views from the Armstrong Trust collection. ...and of course the legendary Stannington Bacon Butties (get in early as they have been known to run out in the past). You can find the show with...NE61 6EL for SATNAV lovers or just off the A1 and behind the Ridley Arms pub for rest of us. All this entertainment for £4. https://ukmodelshops.co.uk/event/23822-NorthEastBordersAreaGroupEMGaugeSociety_Exhibition Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axlebox Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 Thank you to Keith Smart for arranging a great day. I understand this was his last and next years show will be under a new stewardship. It’s not a big show but what a room full of talent, thank you Keith for starting this annual event. Also thank you to the ladies in the back room who kept them all refreshed all day… 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
