Stan,
New to the Society, and the forum so forgive the "cold call".
Looking through the magazine gave me a 'trigger'. I recall exhibiting my 009 Layout "Llados" in Rainhill back in the early 90's / late 80's (I recall still being in high school, and am 48 now!). I'm sure (based on my memory and the photo's) it was in the same place!
Great to see the exhibition still happening!
Ian Mash (now in Sydney, Australia)
Thanks Ian,
Great to hear from you, yes the Rainhill exhibitions are still going strong with a 2 day show the first week of March and a 1 day show
the last Saturday in November.
There is a large connection between the Rainhill MRC and the Merseyside & SWest Lancs NG group as we have 9 or 10 Rainhill members
in the NG group
Rainhill Club have 009 and 7mm NG layouts and a number of their members have their own NG layouts.
Its all great fun and we all enjoy our group gatherings playing trains and eating cake.
Stan.
