RMweb Gold queensquare Posted February 4, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 4, 2014 Hoping to try and make it up for the day for this. We exhibited there last year as a guest layout and it was one of our favourite shows of the year. Jerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee Vee Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 thanks to the MRJ editorial team for the spread in MRJ. Hope Indomitable026 likes the pic.... Separately very sad to hear of the passing of Ewen Crosweller this week - he was a long time supporter of expo and regularly did a demostration on track building or soldering or kit building or whatever I was short of.... He will be sadly missed by his many friends in the hobby..... Graeme Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andytrains Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Also of mention is the EMGS Trade Stand. Also the Members Sales stand, upstairs overlooking the main hall for bargains galore! (This is cash only). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenton Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Also the Members Sales stand, upstairs overlooking the main hall for bargains galore! (This is cash only).You do not have to be a member to buy, just to sell, right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Pannier Tank Posted April 29, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 29, 2014 You do not have to be a member to buy, just to sell, right? I believe you are right, however, anyone that pays for entry to the Expo becomes a member of the society for the day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekEm8 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I believe you are right, however, anyone that pays for entry to the Expo becomes a member of the society for the day. Whilst the 'Day Membership' comment is correct the Members Sales Lists (that are distributed to members and used for members sales) Require the owners EMGS membership number to be entered. So only sales by EMGS members - but anyone can buy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Woolford Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Just had the latest newsletter come through yesterday with the details. I thoroughly enjoyed last year which was actually the first exhibition that I went to and I can honestly say that I don't think I've ever met a bunch of chaps more helpful and inviting as the EMGS guys were. If you haven't been before then I suggest you get yourselves down there, an excellent display of models, trade and advice from the demonstrators. Shame I can't attend this year as I will be working on the real railway in Doncaster. I do however, plan on going to Manchester in September. A long journey but I'm sure it'll be work it.

MartinWales Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 You do not have to be a member to buy, just to sell, right? Why not join the EMGS at Expo and enjoy the benefits of the oldest 4mm Finescale specialist society? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenton Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Why not join the EMGS at Expo and enjoy the benefits of the oldest 4mm Finescale specialist society?If I joined every scale and gauge society of every scale and gauge I model in I wouldn't have enough money left to model! There has to be a line drawn somewhere. I attend EMGS show in Bracknell because it is only a short distance away AND probably more important is always a good show with excellent trade, layouts and atmosphere. Paying more for entry is not a problem. As a show - 2nd only to RailEx (further but covers everything) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andytrains Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Whilst the 'Day Membership' comment is correct the Members Sales Lists (that are distributed to members and used for members sales) Require the owners EMGS membership number to be entered. So only sales by EMGS members - but anyone can buy. This is correct. Members only can sell as we need a membership number on the item and the members sales list.

Gee Vee Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 Pressures on not to disappoint following warm comments above...... thanks guys. And I have even got the support of the FA this year who very considerately proposed to kick off the Cup Final at 5pm so I only need to find a stand in exhibition manager for the final 30 minutes of Saturday's expo..... Been a bit hectic over past couple of weeks and not yet sent final instruction to the layout owners etc. I,m aiming to send out this weekend.
