I am pleased to announce the 1ST MODERN IMAGE EXHIBITION to be held in Scunthorpe. This will be held on Saturday May 21st 2011 starting at 1000hrs and closing at 1630hrs. There are 7 layout booked to appear plus hopefully the layout being built by the Scunthorpe Modern Image Group formed in Dec last year. There will also be a good spread of 7 traders covering all ranges of stocks and secondhand stall as well.

 

The theme of the exhibition is 'home layouts' by this we mean to show a selection of excellent exhibition layouts which are sized to be able to fit into a home. There is a mixture of both N gauge and 00 gauge layouts, Dragonby being the one of the main stars of the show.

 

This is being held at Saint Lawrences Church Hall on Church Lane in Scunthorpe postcode DN15 7AE. There is parking on Church Lane outside of the Hall, but also parking is available in the streets around this area. If travelling by train we are situated 150 yards from this and there are ample bus stops on Oswald Road to arrive. This location is 5 mins from the M180 to M181 exit into Scunthorpe.

 

This exhibition is being held by The Scunthorpe Modern Image Group which is a new group is Scunthorpe.

 

If anybody would like more information please feel free to message me on this thread or to contact me direct.

 

Kind Regards

Set up day is upon us, cars are loaded ready, fingers crossed,

 

Just a note to all if using Sat nav and using the postcode it says youve arrived at destination when your only halfway down the road, just carry on as you will see a set of traffic lights ahead of you if coming past the hospital into Church Lane, the hall is jsut before the traffic lights

 

 

Hope to see you tommorow, Im on Dawes East so please feel free to say hello

Look out for the annoucment for next year which is aimed to be a 2 day event with new layouts to come.

We enjoyed it - it was the first show I've taken my little boy to too! He seemed to enjoy it too!

 

we will try to improve the signage next year (council permitting!!!)

That was the only thing we'd have mentioned. I know Scunny from when I worked there so we found it no problem - and it was nice to park right outside too!

 

EDIT: Some photos from the show appear on my blog here -
