Jon Gwinnett Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Alas I will be in London that weekend - doubly a pity as the new venue would be considerably easier for me to reach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coombe Barton Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 This year I am determined to get there. Went three years ago but 2010 and 2011 were Faculty refurbishments and guess who's in charge of putting it all back together again? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy C Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Derek Any plans to have a Members Sales stand as at Expo EM? I understand so Martin, only problem is all of those people from the Rochdale MRG - can't think whom - who were suppossed to be helping run it have err b8gg88d off to the Ramsbottom Festival to see the Inspiral Carpets that weekend, and will no longer be gracing the show with their presence. I'm sure Derek will find some more than capable mugs volunteers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Derek will find some more than capable mugs volunteers Martin, Yes we do plan to have a members sales stand on both days, even though certain members of the Rochdale mob have decided (after previously agreeing to help run the stand) that a noisey boozey weekend elsewhere is more to their taste. However other Rochdale members are attending with Ian Worthingtons 'Glaisden' layout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy C Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 though certain members of the Rochdale mob have decided (after previously agreeing to help run the stand) that a noisey boozey weekend elsewhere is more to their taste. To be fair there were external influences at work in our decision to go to Rammy to watch the trains go by on the ELR (and watch bands and booze) in the form of other halves. I only see Derek a few times a year, I see Mrs C daily. No brainer really! I would though encourage all to visit the show, whilst i shall miss the quirkiness of Slaithwaite, at last its on the right and proper side of the Pennines, no requirement to get your passport stamped AND if you need permisiion to go suggest to your own domestic powers that be that you will drop her off at the Trafford Centre, just the other side of the Motorway from the Exhibition Hall.

RMweb Premium DavidLong Posted June 13, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 13, 2012 Great move for me. Will take me all of twenty minutes to get there. Rubbish for public transport though - at least for trains, I don't know about those funny double-decker things with rubber tyres. Any chance you can arrange for main Expo to move from Bracknell? I used to go regularly when it was at Bletchley but haven't been since it moved. Otherwise you might just as well call it Expo EM South.

DerekEm8 Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 How easy is the venue to reach by public transport? My Senior Railcard and bus pass are ready and waiting! Chris Chris, Still sorting the public transport details. The TFGM website is http://www.tfgm.com/journey_planning If you enter the post code M41 7FJ it does give options of combined rail/metrolink/bus. FWIW try and avoid buses via the Trafford Centre (unless you want to leave your other half there for the day with your credit card and that would'nt help our traders would it) ! There are 2 stations Urmston and Humphrey Park which both have bus connections stopping at the centre. But be aware (I checked yesterday) you can only use a Greater Manchester issued bus pass on the Metrolink, except where your rail journey requires you to change between (railway) stations.

DerekEm8 Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 How easy is the venue to reach by public transport? My Senior Railcard and bus pass are ready and waiting! Chris Chris, The following info posted by one of our merry band of helpers may be of use. 'Members should get the 256 bus from Piccadilly Gardens to the leisure centre. They run at 10 minute intervals on Saturdays and 30 minutes on Sunday. Journey time is around 37 minutes. The current leaflet is at http://www.tfgm.com/...6_X58_28329.pdf The bus stop for EXPO is at Lostock Road/Moss Vale Hotel There are other ways but it involves more changes and is not much quicker. Simplest is best!' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
