  1. On behalf of all associated with the Lincoln & District Model railway club i would like to personally thank all those that exhibited, helped behind the scenes and the paying guests for making a great weekend....

     

     A special mention to the Tytton Hall Yard team hope all are well as they continued our exhibition precedence for having serious crashes en-route to the venue.

  2. Nigel, what time does the auto jumble finish on the Sunday? I assume that it will be OK to turn left off the A46, from Lincoln on the Saturday.

    Peter you will be fine on the saturday......The Auto jumble is only on the sunday with peak traffic inbound from 9.30 to 11.30 

  3. Greetings to one and all!

        A heads up on the travel for the sunday morning, As in 2017 the showground is hosting one of the autojumble sales which in 2017 combined with a road traffic accident on the A46/A1 junction caused some lengthy holdups for a while (Newark on a good day normally)

     However, the showground will do their level best to mitigate the effects at the planning stage. The autojumble organiser is reluctant to change the age-old  traffic plan for fear of causing even more confusion. So we like many other events are advising you take instead of the A46 towards Lincoln, at the A46/A1/A17 roundabout, take the first exit  down the A17 towards Sleaford then left along Drove Lane. Although slightly longer, it enables traffic to queue along Drove Lane before turning LEFT on to Blue Gate runway. The hold ups are caused by traffic coming off the A46 then turning RIGHT almost immediately on to the runway. It is further exacerbated by people stopping at the entrance to ask questions! And the stacking begins....

     

    Alternativley use the train and arrive by the free heritage bus from both Newark North Gate and Castle stations and save a pound on the entrance fee......
