BEACONSFIELD MODEL RAILWAY CLUB 51st EXHIBITION [SAT 7th JULY]
LOCATION:
The Beaconsfield School,
Wattleton Road, Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire HP9 1SJ
OPENING TIMES: 10.30am - 5pm
ADMISSION: Adults £5.00 Children £2.50
This will be the clubs 51st Exhibition, being held once again in it's now regular 'first weekend of July' slot. As usual there will be full signposting to guide you in from whichever direction you are travelling from. Generous free car parking capacity. Free programme (while socks last).
There should be 18 layouts on show, covering all the popular gauges and as well as the usual UK railways, representing both the American and European Continents . We should also have at least 14 Traders, offering a wide range of products, who should be able to cater for most of your needs. The club's popular own secondhand sales stand will also be in full swing. Because we are using the stage area this year, wheelchair users will be admitted free to recognise their lack of access to the stage (reached via steps). Access to the rest of the exhibition should not prove to be a problem. We have links with the Bekonscot Model Village (the oldest model village in the world) which has an extensive Gauge 1 outdoor railway. This will be open all day on 7th July and is only a short drive away from the exhibition, allowing a full day out for the family by visiting both events. Discount available for those visiting both the exhibition and model village. Our extensive professional catering is well known for it's quality and wide choice of food on offer.
