We don't actually keep a visitor list at York Show! So we would be hard pressed to let anybody have it!!!! Getting email addresses is apparently very easy. I still get emails from my Brother in Law who died some 4 or 5 years ago! That's modern technology for you. Peter

Just a quick update re the 2021 Show. We are awaiting further information from the venue and, of course, Boris J et al. We anticipate that we will, hopefully, be in a position to give a definitive answer about the 2021 Show in early January. Details will be posted on the website and, of course, on here. Please bear with us and ignore various comments like 'York has gone into lock down' etc. That is NOW not next Easter!!!!! Watch this space. Peter

Does 7mm/ft using 9mm track count as unconventional? Represents a 15inch miniature railway in !:43 scale. Peter

Probably worth remembering that the only thing that you can be sure about a forecast of any sort is that there is a high probability that it will be WRONG! Peter

The 2021 Show is penciled in for the 13th & 14th November 2021 Peter

The Hull Show scheduled to take place on the 7th & 8th November has been cancelled. Hoping to organise it for 2021 Peter

If you have not done so might be worth asking on Narrow Gauge Railways - on line Peter

Just need to find where I parked my car and load the empty cake boxes into it. Maggie and I did the Virtual civic tour yesterday but in reality Sheila and I are eating the cinnamon cake at home. At least I do not have to load and then unload the layout when I get home. Mal has done his usual great job in organising the Show helped by Ken and the rest of the team. Next year we start work on the Show on the 1st April, worrying But we look forward to seeing everybody on the 3rd, 4th and 5th. Take care and as Mal said hopefully the virus crisis will be way behind us by then. Peter

Only one more to go and then back to reality! Peter

So how many did we get through the door? Has Mal finished his coffee yet as we are going out this evening. Well I can dream can't I? Been digging the garden, cutting the grass, And other odd jobs. Must do some modelling at some time but the weather is too nice to be stuck inside. Tried to work out how many York Shows I've been involved with. Must be about 20. Can anybody remember? Peter

Monday is usually the quietest day with Saturday being the busiest. So usually, to miss the crowds don't go on the Saturday. Afternoons also tend to be less crowded as well but that does restrict your time to get around the 3,000 sq. M of the Show across three floors and the two mezzanines. Advance tickets can be used on any one day of the Show and will be available to purchase from October. Provided we are out of the lockdown! Hope that helps Peter

Sorry we can't get the Lemon Drizzle cake onto here. Peter & Sheila

I think that I have contacted all the advance ticket holders that I had email contact details for. If you have not heard from me and wish for a refund please contact me. If you wish to keep the tickets and use them for the 2021 Show then there is no need to get in touch. The tickets are valid. Peter

I have started to send out the emails about the Advanced tickets. Have sent out about 30 so still quite a few to go. Just having a break!!!! Peter

Quick update re advance tickets. If you have purchased advance ticket you may hang onto them and use them for the 2021 York Model Railway Show. They are not dated so there will be no problems. If however you wish to be refunded the purchase price we will be in touch within the next 5 to 7 days. so you will be able to respond then. These details will be posted on the website but not until probably late tomorrow.

Chris you will not be the only one. If you could let me have your contact details and the ticket numbers I will be able to sort. Either PM me or email secretary@yorkshow.org.uk Many thanks Peter

Just to confirm I will be contacting advance ticket holder over the next 5 to 7 days. We will offer a number of options. Just to add if you have not heard from us by the 26th March could you then please contact me either via the secretary or advance ticket link on the website or write to me at the address from which you originally ordered the tickets. Your help and patience is very much appreciated. Peter

Well done Andy. For some reasons my original membership was lost when you switched to a new set up some years ago so. But hope all is well for the future. Peter

Pretty well all sorted now. Keep a watch on the website in case there are any modifications. Peter

Baz will be missed by all the gang that organise the Show. RIP Baz

Think I would leave that to either the owners or project leader for each layout. The layouts are listed by scale/gauge on the layouts page on the website. Peter

Yep; we are watching. But with a UK population of 60+ million and 23 cases. ???? Peter

Don't forget that the advance ticket office closes on the 26th March 2020. Peter

Are the faces on permanently or can you remove them? Peter

The advance ticket office seems to be working OK. Off to get some more postage stamps tomorrow. Hopefully my wallet hasn't gone and hid itself Peter
