WE WILL ALSO BE HOSTING THE 7MM NARROW GAUGE ASSOCIATION AGM - but don't worry if that's not your thing.

As usual we will have top quality layouts in a wide variety of scales and gauges so you will all be catered for!

We have a tradition of awarding the "John Hayward Shield", in memory of one our group's key members who passed away early in 2010. This award is for "Best Layout of Show" as adjudged by you, the visitors. There is a similar award in memory of another departed member, Ernie House. This is voted for exclusively by other exhibitors and traders.

Follow the links to Layouts and Traders under Exhibition in the menu above to see the lists of layouts and traders which we will be updating closer to the event as details are confirmed. You will also see other societies and organisations listed on the traders page together with a number of demonstrations.

We offer support to a number of charities. Details of this years will be given when confirmed:-
