doilum Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Just a reminder to bring some cash ( the stuff everyone used before the pandemic). We have not managed the to arrange card readers on the door or in the cafe in time for this show. Maybe next time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Cooper Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Cash... I'd better get digging down behind the sofa cushions 😄. Was a great show last time helped by being spread across rooms and 2 floors 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N A Hughes Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Set up day for this weekend’s Model Railway Show at New College, Pontefract… see you all tomorrow or Sunday… Remember it’s Cash only on the door and in the Cafe - there are various ATM’s in Pontefract Town Centre and at Asda in Glasshoughton. Edited January 28, 2023 by N A Hughes Updated to include cafe on cash only 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagrizz Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 There is a group of five of us travelling to Pontefract on Sunday, but only two of us will be going in to the exhibition. The others would like to have a coffee etc in the cafe - can they do this without having to pay to get into the show? Cheers, Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERS Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Looking forward to looking in at some point tomorrow, can I ask what the parking arrangements are for the show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 46444 Posted January 27, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 27, 2023 Pontecarlo awaits in the morning. Always a great show in a good venue. Are hot pork pies, mushy peas and mint sauce available? Food of the Gods! 😋 * Cheers, Mark * And worshippers of Omeprazole...😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Scott Posted January 27, 2023 Author Share Posted January 27, 2023 Parking is available, in three car parks next to and in front of the sports hall and the top carpark just past the main buildings heading towards Featherstone, if these are full parking can be found in Pontefract park a short walk away. the cafe will be serving both hot and cold food and beverages to which I do remember seeing pork pies on the menu iirc. thanks, Richard 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doilum Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 200+ parking places in the park. The Parkrun community should be gone by 10:30. In addition, there are another 200 places around the racecourse buildings which are accessed from the park. These are all proper tarmac standings and even the furthest is less than a ten minute walk from the college. The grass is VERY soft this year please keep off!! Weather is perfect looking forward to seeing you. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doilum Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Ok, I am biased, but this is a good show. It's good to be back. If you haven't been today there is still tomorrow! Don't forget the cash. We will join the twenty first century next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't been today there is still tomorrow! Don't forget the cash. We will join the twenty first century next year. Well I've had a very pleasant day. Came over on the train(s) this morning, nice walk in the sunshine over the racecourse up from Glasshoughton station (a good mile at least I would say,) some very nice, well presented layouts, of which 2 have particularly sent me away with a head full of ideas. Nice bit of cake and a coffee in the cafe whilst talking with an old friend from Bradford and making two new ones . Back for a second look at the aforementioned layouts and a really good chat with John and Rachel from Uncommon Kits whom I haven't seen for a few years due to obvious circumstances. The exhibition seemed to be very well attended for the 4 hrs or so that I was there and the two halls and cafe were well signposted (not an issue to me as I've been many times before.) Very nice to see this exhibition back on the calendar and thanks to the organisers for making it happen. Would have liked to have introduced myself to you @doilum but not sure who you are and forgot to ask before I set off ... maybe next year. Best wishes for tomorrow. Regards, Ian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 03060 Posted January 28, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 28, 2023 Forgot to mention the trade who were well represented, they didn't manage to part me with any of my cash today but only because I'm a bit overwhelmed with models and books at the moment ... and also unusually for me a bit short of cash this month and so had a very select, limited shopping list with me which had a couple of old 'stock' items that are a bit hard to find at the moment. Plenty of other people seemed to be parting with theirs ! Regards, Ian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chance of a cheeky pint in 'spoons on the way home too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Respite Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 A good exhibition but no signposting anywhere to the show (due to myopic local council not the organisers). Very annoying there wasn't more signage about car parks. Lots of trade at the show which was very good and varied, catering good and inexpensive. The organisers need to get the website going for next years show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ColinK Posted January 28, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 28, 2023 Travelled over from Lancaster to Huddersfield on Friday evening, visited the show today, very enjoyable with good layouts and decent food. Had long chats with some of the operators and came home with lots of ideas. Well worth the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durham light infantry Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Well done to Richard and his team, for continuing the high standard of show we have come to expect from Pontefract. Especially since they only got the green light in October. Thats 2023 off to a good start for me. Hope to be there next year with Sheep Lane.
