RMweb Premium JSModels Posted March 9, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 9, 2023 I can confirm that I will be attending this show, despite not being on the list* - it's definitely the furthest south JSModels has ventured... *The list hasn't been updated since last year, it seems.

But I also believe that the N Gauge Society haven't been invited either?? Regards Neal. Edited March 10, 2023 by Calnefoxile 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Laidlay Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 So is the Website correct? Copenhagen Fields will be there? I'm coming from Australia and it's on my shortlist to see (along with Broadford in H0 multi gauge). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of curiosity, do you know the current position for DEMU and MERG (I'm a member of both) - and have the societies been contacted? If you're not in a position to answer in-forum, I've got no problem - I'd just like to check that the position has been established. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold bourneagain Posted April 3, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 3, 2023 I`ve just booked my ticket to the York Model Railway Show, who are now using the same company Eventbrite, as Warners are using for their 3 shows, but the one big difference is that with the YMRS, there is no need to specify a particular visiting day. Tickets are valid for any one of the 3 days: Sat, Sun or Mon. It would save a lot of hassle if Warners would adopt the same arrangement for their shows. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted April 7, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 7, 2023 (edited) Some years since i went to this show but it used to be a regular for me but the heavy Bank Holiday weekend traffic put me off driving there although there was bags of parking space once you got there. And when not driving back then there was a shuttle bus from Bristol Parkway station which worked out very nicely. However since that was discontinued it is a difficult one to get at by public transport so it's dropped off my list which is a shame as it could be a very good show.

RMweb Premium ullypug Posted April 20, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 20, 2023 The list of clubs and societies is still showing the 2022 list. I understand that due to a lack of available space, EM Gauge Society has not been invited to attend the Bristol show. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold kipford Posted April 21, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 21, 2023 With three EM layouts in attendance I find that very sad. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted April 21, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 21, 2023 I find it very disappointing to see the specialist societies getting dropped from this show after so many years despite adding a tangible model railway benefit to the show in terms of demonstration of skills, answering questions and showing off models. Yet they are able to offer so many preservation societies space who offer nothing of the sort. Very strange when all of the other BRM shows are completely different on that front. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators AY Mod Posted April 21, 2023 Moderators Share Posted April 21, 2023 I did look into this yesterday and was advised that, being oversubscribed with trade stand requirements, there was insufficient space remaining for some societies.
