RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted July 17, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 17, 2014 Hi Richard, can you confirm what time the exhibition is opening - can't see times shown on the Barnstaple MRC's website....? Open at 10am until 4pm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted July 18, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 18, 2014 Richard, For out of town visitors (not me!), where is the best place to park? Queen St up by the PO sorting office is the nearest, but it is short stay at £1 an hour. Which is the closest long stay in the town? Pilton causeway is under 10 minutes walk, but is not that large and will fill up on a Saturday with shoppers. Good point about the parking.Like you suggest, there is Queen Street car park nearby. Another option is Green Lanes. Edit - can also use Bear Street car park. The other and cheaper car parks are a bit further away. Another option is the park and ride on the east side of town. Follow the signs off the A361 if coming from Exeter / Staunton direction. From the bus station, head towards town centre. We are planning to get plenty of signs up Saturday morning to direct visitors to the Church Hall in Bear Street. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted July 19, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 19, 2014 Can you also leave a trail of breadcrumbs for John to follow on Friday please?

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted July 21, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 21, 2014 A little like Hansel and Grettel ? I'll drop you an email re Saturday evening. Are you coming straight to the hall Friday evening? I think that depends on how long the journey takes, which depends on when we set off, which depends on how organised we are. So, in summary, we'll probably be with you by Sunday. Will ring on Friday when we have a better idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

exmoordave Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Looking forward to the show tomorrow guys - hope everything goes smoothly with set-up etc. I remember at last year's Exmoor Rail on the Friday evening, we had the biggest storm for a long time, and it blew over a trader's boards - just advertising ones luckily - plus they became slightly damp from the horizontal rain through the large roller door!! exmoordave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted July 25, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 25, 2014 Looking forward to getting set up this evening and hope that it is not too hot tomorrow. My wife has been busy baking sausage rolls this morning and lovely smells wafting up to my very hot office! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted July 25, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 25, 2014 I do hope the Treneglos crew managed to get through the M5 rush today, local news was all predicting the busiest traffic flows of the year today & tomorrow. I also hope there's some expansion joints in the track as it's still somewhat warm tomorrow! Looking forward to my trip on the Tarka Line on the way there in the morning.

devonseasider Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Looking forward to my trip on the Tarka Line on the way there in the morning.

RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted July 26, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 26, 2014 Just back home after a very enjoyable day, many thanks to Richard and the other Barnstaple clubclub members for putting on a marvelous little show. Nice to catch up with familiar rmweb folk (mudmagnet, Marc Smith, Ray Norward, Dave DLT) and good to meet the Treneglos crew too (especially as they were handing out scones courtesy of Stubby! ). Thanks also to Bill / treggyman for taking the time to explain his auto coupling set up, I did enjoy seeing Creedyford. My first run on the Tarka line too, nice to absorb the ambience of the route! May get some photos up later Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted July 26, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 26, 2014 Many thanks to everyone who attended today! We had a very successful day and most people I spoke to today all had great things to say. All rather tired and ready for a shower before heading out for a well earned drink (or two) and some photo with a few of the exhibitors. Will post some photos tomorrow when I get chance.

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted July 26, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 26, 2014 Great show, well worth the trip north. Good to see some old friends again and meet some more members of the forum. Hobbiton End is far better in the flesh - you can really believe it's part of The Shire. Wiper's Ridge was full of intricate detail - a worthy tribute to the centenary . Lots of other really good layouts too, well done to the Barnstaple club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
