I'm sure you all remember the reports at the time, but following the vandalism of the 2019 exhibition and 2 years of postponement due to Covid, the Market Deeping club are finally getting to put on another show. https://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/news/people/peterborough-model-railway-clubs-exhibition-returns-for-first-time-in-three-years-after-last-show-was-vandalised-3688533 We will be there representing American HO modelling with our layout: Padden Flatts Further details on their site: https://www.mdmrc.org/ Hoping for a good turnout and plenty of support. Here's to train shows!
Well safe to say it was a success from many sides. Quite a bit of press coverage: https://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk...exhibition-since-vandalised-2019-show-3696050 There were TV cameras there Saturday and made the local news Saturday night. Had visitors there Sunday that said they came as a result of seeing it on TV. It was hard for the club to judge what to expect number wise but hoped for 600-700 across the weekend but had achieved that before close of play on Saturday! We were the first layout most people saw and the first few hours it was 2/3 deep I snuck out for the quick pic above. There were 4 halls in total, I did get to lookaround briefly on Saturday afternoon in a lull but no pictures. There are numerous videos posted to Youtube by attendees: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyThkH3eL7I&t=0s&ab_channel=PhilipHolmes It was nice that it was so well supported by both modellers and families, hopefully some future modellers will come from it. No more shows lined up for us but a few potentials for next year.
