This event is being organised by the Wessex Narrow Gauge Modellers group and follows on from previous Colehill shows of which Brian was the organiser.
As many will know, Brian died last year, and owing to the Covid restrictions in force at the time only a few were able to attend his funeral. We hope that as many as possible will be able to attend this event as a way of saying goodbye to Brian in a way which he would surely approve of.
Muriel may be visiting the show and there will be an opportunity for people to make a contribution to Prostate Cancer research, which will also benefit from any profits from the event.
The Society Sales Stand will also (of course!) be in attendance at the show.

QuoteMessage from the Open Day team;
In light of the recent increase of Covid Risk it is requested that all visitors and exhibitors at the show wear a facemask or appropriate face visor (when medically exempted from wearing a facemask).
It is intended to reduce the risk of transmitting Covid to an absolute minimum and your assistance in keeping the show as risk free as possible will be appreciated by all.

Sorry Iain, wasn't my intention to tread on any toes and I hope I haven't caused offence.
I was just concerned that the notice hadn't popped up on the Society's forum at the same time as on NGRM.
Just to add a note to say that unfortunately James Norris [A12] has had to withdraw from the show as he has tested positive for you-know-what.
We of course wish him well, and are sorry that he won't be able to come and share what he has to offer to members regarding his 3-D printing expertise and services.
If you're interested in what he does and want to see what he has on offer you can take a look at his website: jamestrainparts.com where you can also contact him.
Even though he won't be joining us on Saturday he will continue to offer his services to the Society in the future.

This week 009 Sales has received a fine collection of high quality 009 models, including some unusual locos and rolling stock, which will be on the Sales stand at Colehill this Saturday. We are holding them back for the show and will not put them on the online shop until afterwards, so if you can visit Colehill you will have a priority opportunity to buy these premium items.
Also available at Colehill will be the new 009 Society mugs - if you buy one there you will save on the shipping costs! (and tea and coffee will be available to fill them with). See the Sales thread for details of this new Society product.
