Well Rainhill is over and now we look forward to our Rainford Show on Saturday 17th February 2018.

If you missed some of the superb layouts yesterday, you will have a chance to see some of them again in February 2018.

Please make a note in your diaries or on your calenders of the change of venue ( due to building work ).

New Venue,
All Saints Parish Hall, Stockley Room, Church Road, Rainford, Nr St Helens, Merseyside WA11 8HE.

The sales tables proved a great hit and looked rather empty towards the end of the day.

Not to worry though, as we plan to have lots more available by February.

Hopefully we hope to have a Vintage Bus doing trips around Rainford Village on the day.

Refreshments and plenty of Free Parking around the Hall along with overflow car parking.

Hello Stan, I'll give you ten out of ten for effort, this must be the most advertised venue on any forum representing railway modelling.

I've enjoyed your last two exhibitions in Rainford, and expect to enjoy your next offering on the 17th all being well.

So, with any luck, and a fair wind from Yorkshire, I'll see you on the 17th, and there'd better be some bacon butties left when I get their. ;D

Regards,

Brian.
