Just to keep you up to date with the show and AGM.

The 009 Society AGM will take place in the Girl Guide Hall from approx.  1pm.
This will give visitors time to have lunch and then return to the show, once the meeting ends.
For those not wishing to attend the AGM, can continue enjoying the show and spending their money.

Refreshments will be available from 10am to 4.30pm

If you get there at opening time, the bacon toasties may still be available.

On the layout front,
James Hilton will have his  Creech Bottom in 009 alongside Grindley Brook Wharf by Tim Ellis.

Alan Catlow has now completed his model of the Glen Mooar Viaduct on his I.O.M. layout.

He has kindly agreed to bring the viaduct along to our Rainford Show as a static model.

Some of the materials used came via Chris Barker and his Todmorden Model Supplies and he will be there with his stand also.

The viaduct is a superb piece of modelling.
