I actually miss the rain and snow a bit. There's something primevally satisfying about arriving at a cold, bleak, muddy showground in the depths of winter but then walking into a warm, friendly, welcoming exhibition hall full of like-minded people and the comforting buzz of activity. It's not quite the same when you don't need a 4x4 to be sure you can get out of the car park, or a heavy overcoat to avoid frostbite in between your car and the door. 🙂 Then again, maybe I'm just weird. 2 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you’re not weird I understand what you mean. I hate to think what the energy costs would be now should we have kept our original February date. The energy costs both for lighting and heating are not included in the hall hire costs and as I recall back in 2020 were in excess of £2500 So put you’re wellies and heavy coat away. See you in September. Terry 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium ELTEL Posted August 6, 2023 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 6, 2023 Morning all I have just had my digital copy of BRM and can now confirm that the Stafford Railway Circle layout Whiteacres will be in the next issue of BRM (available on 7th September) Having seen the photographs taken by Andy York it really do justice to all the work that has been done on the layout since it’s last outing at the Hornby Exhibition in Milton Keynes last year (Winning the best layout as voted by the general public) Terry 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium ELTEL Posted August 18, 2023 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 18, 2023 I have received a telephone call about facilities for disabled visitors……. All toilets are situated on the ground floor area There will be a car parking area for disabled visitors. The exhibition is mainly all on the ground floor The cafe is on the second floor which is accessed by stairs or a lift for those who struggle with stairs.

RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted August 18, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 18, 2023 Is the "slopey" area of the hall going to be used? Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ELTEL Posted August 18, 2023 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) No the “slopey” will not be used…… We are aiming and planning that all exhibits this year will on one floor. This means we will be using all three of the annexes, making access to all of the exhibition area easier for all. The cafe will be upstairs accessed by stairs or the llft.

RMweb Premium ELTEL Posted August 24, 2023 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 24, 2023 David Wright has added a further model at the Stafford Exhibition in September Like most I was saddened and devastated to see the total destruction of such a unique Public House. Being a keen model maker and lover of our heritage buildings especially pubs! I thought I must try and recreate this well known landmark. If the pub never rises again ' like a phoenix from the ashes' for real. At least I can make 'The Crooked House' rise again in miniature at the Stafford Model Railway Exhibition.
