Saturday, January 12th, 2008

Liphook and District MRC achieves another milestone, when it’s N Gauge layout Cottleston Park, makes it’s third exhibition appearance of the 2007/8 season,  at the Worthing MRC show on Saturday 13th & Sunday 14th September 2008.

The exhibition will be held at the Boundstone Community College, Upper Boundstone Lane, Sompting. Lancing BN15 9QZ

This is the first time the L&DMRC has exhibited at this annual show and we look forward to showing our N Gauge layout to a new audience. It might be worth coming along on both days, as on each day there will be different era stock running.

Unfortunately the writer will be not be part of the exhibition team, as he is playing boule in France on these dates; perhaps the operation will be improved as a result.

Cottleston Park to appear at South Hants Show

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008

After receiving an initial enquiry, nothing was heard from South Hants MRC, so it was thought that we weren’t to be invited.

Just before Christmas, layout leader Nick has received a firm invite, albeit after agreeing to a smaller team to operate.

That means that the Liphook and District MRC will be exhibiting N gauge layouts two weeks running - ie on Sunday 24th February 2008 at Midhurst with Vierbrucken and Saturday1st March 2008, with Cottleston Park, at the South Hants Show.

We hope to see many local enthusiasts at both shows!

The South Hants MRC Show will be held on Saturday 1st March 2008 at Crookhorn College of Technology, Stakes Hill Road, Waterlooville. See full details in the major railway modelling magazines and local papers.
