Leander Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 This is the 53rd exhibition organised by the Rochdale Model Railway Group and the fourth to be held in Littleborough, following the success of our first three shows at the Coach House in April 2014, 2015 and 2016. In the style of our early exhibitions, showcasing the finescale modelling of our members and friends, this is a small, low-key but high quality event featuring a selection of top quality exhibits. Littleborough Coach House is a disability friendly venue with Lift access to upper floor.The Exhibition is located in the Harvey Room on the upper floor of the Littleborough Coach House, a Community Hub in the heart of Littleborough, nestling in the Pennine hills above Rochdale. The Hall used for the Exhibition has access by both stairs and a lift. Facilities include: • A Heritage Centre • Tourist Information • Local interest books • Local arts and crafts • Regularly updated arts and crafts exhibitions In addition to drinks and light refreshments sold by RMRG, the Cherry Tree Cafe is located downstairs and is open from 9am to 4pm (Saturday) and 9am to 3pm (Sunday), offering breakfasts, lunches and light refreshments. There is plenty of free car parking in the vicinity of the Coach House and Littleborough Railway Station is a 5 minute walk away. The journey time from Manchester Victoria is under 30 minutes and the station is served by a half hourly service. Alternate trains go to Blackburn via Burnley and Leeds via Dewsbury. On Sunday the Leeds trains go via Halifax. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really wanted to come and see your show, but have 'family celebrations' to attend, hmmm! I think I'm too old for 21st birthdays. I've had far too many of them myself!

Leander Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share Posted April 8, 2017 The sun is shining brightly in Littleborough and we're open for business. Northern Trains is running a limited hourly service from Manchester Victoria so it is possible to get here by public transport. There's plenty of free roadside parking in the vicinity of the Coach House too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leander Posted April 9, 2017 Author Share Posted April 9, 2017 The sun is shining on Littleborough once again this morning and we're open from 10.00am. At least it makes a change from the snow we used to encounter in February! The farmers' market is on in the town today too and the bunting's up.
