New venue, more space, more layouts

 

We are pleased to announce that our 2013 annual model railway exhibition will be held on Saturday 16 February 2013, from 10.00am – 5.00pm.

 

Admission prices

Adults: £5.00

Children/Concessions: £3.00

Family Groups (2+2): £10.00

 

New venue for 2013

We are pleased to announce a new venue for the exhibition this year:

Shenley Brook End School

Walbank Grove

Shenley Brook End

Milton Keynes

MK5 7ZT

 

With two large halls linked by wide corridors, this venue offers roughly double the space of the venue we have used in the last couple of years.

Our Exhibition Manager, Terry Silver, explains the change of venue:

‘We know that crowding was an issue for some visitors at our February 2012 show. Attendances have more than doubled over the last three years, so we felt it was time to find a larger venue offering more space for visitors and exhibitors. We look forward to welcoming everybody to our 2013 show which will, as always, offer something for everyone.’

Check back to this page for further details as they become available

The car section of the travel page (for the show) on your website still shows last year's postcode (MK6 3DR) for the venue even though earlier in the same page the correct postcode (MK5 7ZT) is shown.

Exhibition update!

 

Delighted to announce that the exhibition will be opened by 'Mr Hornby' himself, Simon Kohler (Hornby Marketing Manager).

 

Also, you may have seen Lower Brightwell featured in the March Hornby Magazine (out today!). Lower Brightwell will be at the exhibition and will be demonstrating the new Hornby handheld device app which complements the existing Railmaster software.

 

We haven't mentioned catering yet, but just to confirm that there will be food available in the school canteen area this year - sandwiches, cakes, tea, coffee etc.

 

Hope to see you there.

'Winterschlaf' operators, Bob and Ian, thoroughly enjoyed the day so many thanks to all who organised and ran this event.

 

As Terry Silver said, you seem to go from strength to strength each year which is very pleasing for the hobby. Venue was heaving all day with a real family feel to the atmosphere.

 

Hope you break last year's record of 1,800 through the door.

Nice show, my 6-year old grandson enjoyed "every single one". Nice touch for the little ones to be able to run a OO Thomas loop, thanks Silver Fox crew particularly. There were some quality layouts - will try and get to the next one! Sorry to the Z Alpine guys that my grandson wanted to lean on the front of your display!

Rough count was 1850 which is an increase and very pleasing considering we were in a new venue.

I know what you mean about the atmosphere, the show had a really nice feel.

 

Thanks for coming, onwards & upwards for next year,

 

Mark
