Title: Narrow Gauge North 2015
Post by: Stan Williams on November 25, 2014, 13:46
I have just received news from Peter Kirkby that Narrow Gauge North will not take place in 2015.

Hopefully they will be able to get back on track for 2016, otherwise it leaves a gaping hole in the North of England for Ng modelling.

That's sad news.

Verified on the NGN web site.

Tried to look on the website this morning but it appears to be down.  Can anyone who has seen the website provide more information?

NGN 2015 is definitely cancelled,  almost endless problems with the site management left the organisers with no other option.

There will be an announcement in the next issue of the News, but essentially it will say what's been said here - it's cancelled for this year.
Peter is emailing me a statement in the morning, it may provide more info, if it does i'll try and remember to replicate it here.

This is the statement I mentioned above which provides a little more info:

Narrow Gauge North, a model railway exhibition, is an annual event that was first held in 1994 at Lawnswood School in Leeds. It was organised by members from a number of model railway societies with the intention of raising funds for the local hospice

With the loss of Peters show in 2015, we will be extending our North West NG Event and 009 Society AGM and will incorporate some of the

exhibits and traders that Peter had booked for NG North.

This will be your chance to visit a large NG Event in the North of England during 2015.

I hope you will give your support in coming along on the 18th April 2015, to the All Saints Parish Hall, Rainford, Nr St Helens, Merseyside

If you have not before visited our show, please put this date in your diary.

Stan.
