Dukedog Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I hope I'm not too early in starting to promote our First ever model railway ehibition but here goes! This new event on the exhibition calendar takes place at the club meeting place on the 19th October 2013 Full details at our web site http://tinyurl.com/Cradleyhmrc click on "Exhibition" from the home page. A lot of the layouts confirmed will be familiar to members of this august forum! More details will be added to this thread as and when I get updates. PS We still have room for more small to medium sized layouts particularly a modern image MPD type layout and some 2mm/N gauge layouts. If you have a layout and can travel to our location for a one day show get in touch by PM or Email. Cheers Frank Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Phil Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Thanks for the news Frank. I am rostered on on that day but will try and get annual leave. Any MRE in the West Midlands / Black Country needs supporting, particularly by a few more traders - (just off the M5 / M6 chaps) Best of luck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold nickwood Posted October 2, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 2, 2013 Just over 2 weeks to go and the testing, fettling and cleaning has begun in earnest to get Much Murkle ready for its first outing at Cradley Heath. Nothing major so far, just a few tweaks to couplings, cassette connectors and a bit more detailing here and there. Hope to see some RMwebbers there, please say hello.

Dukedog Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Exhibition update 11/10/13 Ian Morton's layout Aberlaff will not be ready in time for this show, so, Ian has been asked to bring Hatton Parkway as it's replacement. Also in addition to the "Non Layout" exhibitors we welcome representatives of the West Midlands 7mm Narrow Gauge Association. Any further updates will be posted here. Cheers!

Will J Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 'Victoria Bridge' has been test run, and is looking good with its dramatic (ish) lighting and picture frame surround. I have a few little tasks this weekend, mainly getting 'mini-1501' in a reasonably finished state. Looking forward to the show! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Good luck Frank, I hope it's a success for you all. Unfortunately I've been distracted eastwards next weekend but I do hope folks make time to visit you if they can as you've got some good content.

Dukedog Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 Just under a week to go to the Cradley Heath Model Railway Club's first ever exhibition! As exhibition manager I have had a very steep learning curve, but for the most part it has been a pleasant experience, so much so that I have been stupid enough to carry on for next years event. This year though, being our very first exhibition we have stuck to a one day event just to test the water. The success or failure of this years show will determine if we increase the show to two days next year and whether or not we change to a larger venue. In our search for exhibits I would like to think that we have a good selection of scales (N gauge up to Gauge 2) and eras, (Steam, transition and modern day) Some of the layouts appearing are new to the exhibition circuit and are well worth coming to see. A full list can be found on the club web site http://tinyurl.com/CradleyHMRC The traditional "Big Lump of home made cake" tea and coffee is available all day. See you there next Saturday?

andyram Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 As someone who organised a show for the first time last year I would like to wish you lots of luck for your event. It is definitely a steep learning curve, but I wish you every success. Sadly I am not sure I will make it over next weekend as I have visited three shows in the last three weeks and family commitments will probably take over next Saturday.

Dukedog Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 Frank Can we have a post code for Sat navs please? Hi Pete, I'm sure the sat Nav post code was on the map which should be on the back of the welcome letter I sent out a week or two back. Thanks to Andy Y for posting it though it will be useful to our visitors as well. Cheers Frank Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
