RMweb Premium Mike Bellamy Posted November 8, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 8, 2016 The Trent Valley Area Group would like to invite all members, friends and other railway modellers to their Open Day on 21st January. Please note that this is at a new venue. After many years at the Community Centre, we have moved a few hundred yards down the road to Our Lady of Lourdes Parish Centre. This is the Catholic Church Hall next to the petrol station by the roundabout in the centre of Mickleover. The new venue gives us more space which is all in one large room and so we won’t have displays hidden in classrooms where operators felt left out of the main event. There is a large kitchen and so we will still be able to provide refreshments and another benefit is a separate car park which is not shared with the library users. The only disadvantage is the cost which means a reluctant increase in our admission price to £4 but we hope all our visitors agree that it’s worth it. This event should see the first public viewing of the replacement to our Henmore layout which had been featured in both Narrow Lines and Railway Modeller. After sustaining some damage at the York show, it was agreed to scrap it and start again - whilst the planning was a long and slow process, we have now reached a point where we would like to share its development with our visitors. Trade support already agreed with Association Sales, Second-Hand Sales, EDM Models and Port Wynnstay Models. Anyone wishing to bring a layout, model display, demonstration, items for sale etc should contact Mike Bellamy by email mike.bellamy@btinternet.com with their details. Please offer us something to fill the hall otherwise we'll all be rather lonely !

RMweb Gold NeilHB Posted December 31, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 31, 2016 Just giving this a quick bump to remind folks that the Mickleover open day isn't that far away...in fact this time in 3 weeks it will all be over! I'll hopefully have a display of prototype photos and maps for my Burneside project, and maybe even some of my narrow gauge stock too! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now have a plan - and it all fit's in the hall. Just back from Tesco after buying a ton of bacon - just hope you guys are hungry in the morning ! Off in a few minutes to collect tables from the clubrooms and meet the first arrivals. See you in the morning . . . . . . . . . . . . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
