Pete the Elaner Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Looking forward to this show. I didn't make it last year & given the choice between WCML & M1/M6, I'll take the train. Are there pubs nearby which do a good selection of beers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted June 17, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 17, 2023 Was debating about coming over on the train but it’s a bus from crewe to Stafford for Lichfield trent valley and it will take me 2 hours, it’s also £30+ for the ticket so I think I’ll be driving over in a bit instead!

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted June 17, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 17, 2023 (edited) Hello everyone. We have had a problem with the card readers today. This has effected DEMU only, so tomorrow we will be only taking cash on the front door, membership stand and second hand. We hoped it would be sorted out by the close of show today, sadly it hasn't. We are sorry for the inconvenience this might cause. The venue is close to the town centre, 5 mins walk, for access to ATMs. Edited June 17, 2023 by Clive Mortimore 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted June 17, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 17, 2023 I think it was me who broke the card machine, you were doing alright until I got there!! good show as usual, came away with 3 locos and a few bits and bobs, saw lots of people I knew, some not whom I’d not seen for years, some I saw only last week in crewe!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jo Nice to meet you Jo and enjoyed the ride up makes a great day out when you bump into a crowd on the train and have the show too. Pennies were spent chats were had and a thoroughly enjoyable day. Shirebrook and Tulloch Bridge made it for me but lots to see and the wallet somehow avoided being flayed to within an inch of its life with Kernow bargains! Messers Muz, Paley & co. we know your game! 😆 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully some one has popped out and bought a couple more card readers this afternoon. Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ELTEL Posted June 17, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 17, 2023 A great exhibition and most enjoyable with a good selection of layouts and supporting traders.

Terry They seemed to think it was the account rather than the readers that was the problem, it’s a shame it was cash only on the club stall as despite getting some money there were a couple of items I’d have had if the card machine was working 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teabag Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 First time I've been to the DEMU showcase. I enjoyed it - a nice selecction of layouts, good trade stands and not too crowded. Must get round to signing up to the DEMU society. Thanks to all those who contributed to the show. Teabag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium ColinK Posted June 17, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 17, 2023 I’ve also been today, glad I had a few £ in my pocket so I could get in. Train fare was £55 so not much left to spend in the show, but the main reason I went was to meet Tim Horn and order baseboards for my next OO layout (must get rid of the old one to make room). Shirebrook was outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold C126 Posted June 18, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 18, 2023 May I add my thanks and best wishes to all concerned for this show, visited yester-day. Spent too much money as usual, paid my respects to Mr David Larkin, discovered the Indian street food stalls in the shopping centre for lunch, and lurked for too long around 'Hillport Goods'. I hope all enjoyed themselves and thought their attendance worthwhile. Thank you all for your hard work, and I look forward to 2024's show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Dagworth Posted June 18, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 18, 2023 We enjoyed our visit this morning, very good selection of layouts and good to see various people that I’d not seen for far too long. It’s probably a good thing that I’m waiting to get paid, I could have spent a lot of money Andi 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
