puddlejumper Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Hi Folks Just an early reminder that The Grand Model Railway Club have moved back to the Grand Hotel in Bishop Auckland for their 6th annual show. This year the show will be on Sunday 1st of May and Monday 2nd of May. All the usual stuff with the usual quality layouts but this year we anticipate having our own beer brewed just for the show (I guess that will be rail ale then!!!) and a barbeque. Cheap as chips at £2 for adults, £1 for kids and older people and a fiver for families. Come along and enjoy the day, beer barbie and trains.......................can life get any better??? :D ;) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come and say hello. Thanks Paul. Looking forward to seeing what you have added to an already very good layout.

mikeeyh Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Ooooooooooooo , another local show , I must admit I almost missed this as it does not say Bishop Auckland I only noticed a local user posted on the topic and took a look. Sounds like a nice little show, does the club meet quite regular?? Cheers Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The show is small , but all the layouts are quality. There are no barriers and a friendly atmosphere, a bit like a small expo. Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porcy Mane Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 All being well should be there on Sunday. Must remember that it does not open until noon, that day. What a civilised time to start an exhibition. Plenty of time to recover from a Saturday night. Porcy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
durham light infantry Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 It's a fortunate happenstance. we can't get access to the room until Sunday morning because there is a band playing on Saturday night. You can always try the hair of the dog Porcy. Plenty of good real ale on all weekend. Puddlejumper intends to be puddled all weekend! Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
