Title: St. Albans model exhibition 28th. 29th. September.
Post by: roycv on September 26, 2013, 08:53:48 am

Hi to all, anyone in the Hertfordshire area will be welcome to attend our annual exhibition.  We have had to change our venue due to a building schedule at the previous school.

We are now at The Townsend Church of England school, High Oaks, St. Albans, Herts. AL3 6DR

There is plenty of parking and light snacks and tea, coffee available all day.

Adults £4  Children 50p

Exhibits are mainly model boats, steam locos, general model engineering a few railway layouts and a flying show outside.
There are also small steam engines running from an air compressor, with technical members in attendance

We have several visiting clubs, Luton, Welwyn, Hatfield, Tamyia trucks.  If you used to have a Meccano set then we have some really big models on show from the West London Meccano Society and you can Meccano buy spares as well.  Gears pulleys etc.
We have a SMEE stand as well giving demonstrations.

Outside there is a small pool for RC boats and have-a-go boats for children.  A 5 inch gauge track gives free train rides with locos and traction engines on demonstration.

We have the RNLI and some local charities as well.  If you are looking to entertain some young ones over the weekend come and see us!

We fill the school with models, well you know what I mean!  We have been doing it for over 50 years now.
regards Roy

Hi all, I do hope some of you made it to our exhibition.
We had a record turn out of visitors nearly 1200 over the 2 days. It was hard work and we also had a nice letter from the school on how impressed they were.  In turn their caretaker could not have been more helpful.

We had all aspects of modeling with flying steam train rides traction engines and boats etc.  The school has ample parking which does make a difference.

So we shall be back there next year on 27th. 28th of September 2014.  And we will have a bit ore space as well.
regards to all, Roy
