Apologies but no other shopping opportunities apart from a light lunch, cake and a drink from the York Against Cancer cafe.

Thought I would bump this thread as the exhibition is this coming weekend. I'm hoping to visit at some point (be rude not to as it's only a mile or so down the road).

Lots of preparations well underway. 

 

12 page souvenir guideis free as part of the entrance fee 

 

 

The 2nd hand shop is bursting with goodies (and we accept card payment) Including many kits - some historical. We have had some interesting discussions remembering BSL, Ian Kirk etc. 

 

 

 

 

 

And a couple of layouts looking good 

 

 

 

Don't forget there is a list of layouts in the first post. 

 

York Against Cancer will be operating a cafe and will be sharing the Tombola which has lots of worthwhile prizes. 

 

See you tomorrow or Sunday as it is a full 2 day show.

I went to the show today with my grandson. It was very good, hall packed with layouts rather than trade stands  made a nice change. Well attended and good refreshments at very low prices. We were there 2 hours and saw layouts I hadn't seen before.

Popped in today.  Excellent small show - exactly what you’d hope a traditional local “church hall” style model railway show should be.  What with this, the return of the main York show at Easter, and the N Gauge Society event at the NRM in May, I’m feeling quite spoilt!
