RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted March 14, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) Once again, on behalf of the organising committee, I am pleased to announce the line-up for the 11th Annual RMWeb Member's Day at Taunton on Sunday, 28th April 2019. As ever, the venue will be Staplegrove Village Hall, 214 Staplegrove Road, Taunton, TA2 6AL. Doors are open at 10:00 until 16:00 and entry is restricted to RMweb members and their guests, and members of the Taunton MRG. Layouts Bleat Wharf - Rob Gunstone - another masterpiece in the making by the Sheep Bloke from Cardiff. Pomona Works - Arthur Ormrod - Taking a break for organising the Module layout, Arthur is bringing his Cameo layout DM4MS - Yep, another pile of implausible nonsense from your’s truly. Loughborough Road MPD - Part of Alan Paley's larger layout, he & Simon are bringing just the MPD section Proto Z - Mini-zob - The return of the trackwork maestro, Brian Harrap, with the ever-popular layout on an ironing board. Rosamund Street Sidings – A first visit to the event for Brian Rolley and his excellent layout. Sandy Shores - Similarly, a first visit for Jam (Jamie Warne) to Taunton with his exquisite 009 layout. Upwell Drove - Alex is bringing his 1960s Fenland layout Wheal Imogen - Rich Peddar's P4 layout, set in the China Clay region of Cornwall. 2018 & 2019 Q1 Cakebox Challenge dioramas We'll have a separate display table just for Cakebox Challenge entries - please bring yours along to add to the display.

Bring & Buy We also have the very popular Bring & Buy stall - further details will be published soon, but you can make a start sorting out all those items SWMBO says you don't need. Catering Pies & Pasties have been personally checked by Captain Kernow and deemed suitable for consumption. Cakes - we've had a few offers of cakes, but there is always room for more. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saturday 27th April This year the majority of the Saturday is free for those who wish to come down to Somerset early, to spend time as they wish. Heritage railways such as the West Somerset Railway and the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway are close by, for example. I can also confirm that Taunton MRG have once again agreed to open their clubroom at Bishops Lydeard station specially for us from 1700 to 1900 hrs on the Saturday, with the usual warm and friendly welcome. After visiting Taunton MRG we will continue to The Lethbridge Arms, Bishops Lydeard. More information on the evening meal can be found here. Please respond to Graham Muz by Saturday 13th April. Sunday 28th April Doors for setting up layouts open at 8:00, prior to that we'll be laying out the floor plan. Doors for members to visit open at 10:00 and close at 16:00. We look forward to seeing you there !! Update 1 : Added Mark Forrest as EM / P4 demonstrator Update 2 : Unfortunately, Simon & Titfield Thunderbolt are not able to attend this year Edited April 5, 2019 by Stubby47 . 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted March 14, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 14, 2019 Does Taunton have Premier Inn by any chance?

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted March 26, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 26, 2019 With just over a month to go, don't forget we have a superb Bring & Buy stall for your unwanted items, as well as Lord & Butler and 247 Developments - get your postage free orders into them & collect on the day. If you have any weathering questions, Mick B will be happy to demonstrate - bring your own rolling stock along and have a chat. Paul R will have his 3D items to show and some for sale. I'm not sure Chris T is intending to make you a building on the day, but he too will be happy to chat about how to mangle plasticard into very believable wood, stone and roof coverings. Did I mention we'll have Pies, Pasties & Cake as well ? 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted March 26, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 26, 2019 Whats the donation on the bring & buy? Ideally I'd like to write a list, share it in this thread, then bring along those items that have sold to settle payment (and pay the x% donation on the day) rather than lugging a whole bunch of extra stock to and from Taunton in addition to the layout. Will likely be a bunch of modern image wagons, including a handful of Bachmann intermodals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I mention we'll have Pies, Pasties & Cake as well ? Chris is certainly not going to be able to start and finish a building in one day! As Stu says I'll be bringing along a selection of the 7mm scale buildings from Pencarrow which are in various stages of completion and will be aiming to demonstrate how I achieve some of the finishes, the materials used and construction methods. Shout if there's anything in particular you want to see. 5 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the avoidance of doubt and to inform those not in the know, I should say that the right honourable Captain has his spyglass the wrong way around. The shots are of 7mm buildings. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
