Just to remind anyone visiting the Hazel Grove M R Club exhibition on the weekend of October 24 & 25 there is a change to the layout listed in the diary.

Tan-yr-Allt and Dwffyr Uchaf is replacing the Crummack Valley Railway. The Hazel Grove club has already amended the list of layouts attending their show.

Just to be clear: presumably the 009 Publicity stand is not the 009 Sales stand? - wouldn't want anyone to be disappointed not to find the Sales stand there!

David,

The 009 Publicity Stand is the stand that attends alongside our layouts at many exhibitions around the country and has done over many years.

It does what it says on the tin !

It has had the pleasure of enrolling many new members into the 009 Society over a long period of time, but it also carries some of the 009
Society kits, that Society Members can purchase at these exhibitions.

If you look on the Society Diary and we are attending an exhibition with a layout, you will also see the Publicity Stand advertised.

Stan.

Just to further Stan's explanation about the Publicity Stand etc for the benefit of members who may not be aware of how things are:

1. The 009 Sales is self explanatory and on the Society exhibition diary published on the website and in 009 News any shows that the stand is attending is marked with the Society badge as an avatar - outings in the near future are: 31 Oct ExpoNG, 22 Nov Weedon Bec, Northants NGM open day, 5 Dec Colehill Dorset "Brian's Dorset open day"

2. The 009 Society Publicity Stand that Stan refers to, frequently accompanies Roger and Stan's layouts to exhibitions mainly around the north and carries the "official" prefix "The" because it is run by the Society Publicity Officer, Bill Luty, normally accompanied by Garry Whiting. As Stan says, "it does what it says on the tin" - it is not a sales stand but has a display case, often there are modelling demos and often there may be a small demo diorama type test track/layout plus publicity materiel and a small selection of Society kits.

3. There are other Society Publicity Stands that frequently attend shows with the endorsement and support of the Society, run by Area Groups, notably Sussex Downs and West Midlands, with apologies to other groups who may also show Society Publicity. Many individual layout owners also carry Society publicity materiel and display this when they attend shows.

Hope this helps rather than confuses!

I think Mick meant to say "Sussex Downs" (not south downs)! Since Sussex Downs 009 Group will be busy exhibiting our Upsands Downs and Evaleight Railway, for the final time, at EXPONG - the 009 Society Publicity stand will perforce have to be manned by other Society Members!

I thoroughly enjoyed the chance to meet Stan and Roger and to admire tan-yr-alt from behind the scenes, almost being inducted in as a guest operator if my shopping list hadn't been so big. I can remember the layout as RM railway of the month a long time ago and it even more impressive in the flesh!

Also enjoyed llanfair caeririon, a beautiful representation of my favourite of the Welsh lines and had a good chat with Gary whitting which has definitely inspired a future purchase (or two).

Suitably re-enthused and with a wealth of helpful advice I hope to start modelling soon.

Many thanks
