Norm81 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I'm contemplating joining a club, so wondered which were in my area. Anywhere from Morpeth in the north down to the River Tyne and from the coast across to Ponteland. I was thinking of Newcastle & District MRS, it's at the limit of what I'd travel but with the bonus of I could "nod" most of my way there and back by Northern Rail. Can't seem to find a phone number or email on their website though? Blyth and Tyne and based in North Shields now which is more difficult to get to than Newcastle, I'd have to drive and then try to find somewhere to park... If anyone know of any other clubs in the area or any other info it'd be very much appreciated. Just thinking about it at the moment, not sure if it's for me or not yet.

DavidH Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Newcastle meet on Monday and Thursday evenings, just ring their intercom and someone will come down. (I don't know the email address I'm afraid, and the old website used to have it.) Blyth and Tyne is easy to get to by car - Shields is 10 minutes off the Tyne Tunnel/A19, and the clubrooms are not so far from the Metro (although I guess this is less useful to you if you aren't in the area). Parking isn't a problem. There's a Jarrow based club as well (Perth Green). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm81 Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 Thanks for the reply, I had thought it best to contact the club first rather than just turning up on their doorstep. B&T - I agree it's easy in the car, not so easy by public transport from where I am. Jarrow - a bit too far I'm afraid as it's through the tyne tunnel or an even longer journey. I'll have to try and find some contact details for Newcastle somewhere on the web. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold DaveF Posted March 26, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 26, 2013 A quick web search provided these pages: http://www.newcastlemodelrailway.org.uk/ http://www.durham.gov.uk/pages/providerdetails.aspx?ProviderId=24252 As I have no connection with the club I cannot say how up to date the information may be.
