G0SH (Gauge 0 at South Hants)
G0SH the Gauge 0 Group of the South Hants Model Railway Club (SHMRC), based at Fort Widley, Portsdown Hill Road, Portsmouth
A group of about ten 0 gauge modellers in a sea of EM & P4 types.
To us railway modelling is for fun, not rivet counting. We do the best we can to achieve a realistic impression of the prototype railway, which we can run our stock on regularly, not just at shows. We encourage each other with lots of banter, coffee & Tunnock Wafer biscuits.
We meet at the South Hants clubrooms on Wednesdays between 11-00 & 15-00 & on Thursday evening (SH club night) between 20-00 & 22-00hrs, to work on the Durbridge layout.
The layout was exhibited at the South Hants MRC Show in March 2008 and will be at the new Fareham & District MRC Show at Wickham (Hants) on the 4th 7 5th October 2008
We welcome visitors, but please contact us first to arrange a visit.
To join this group you also have to be a member of the South Hants MRC. & we have a voluntary sub for each Wednesday session. Most of the group are members of the Gauge 0 Guild, but it is not mandatory.
Membership of the club, which is by invitation, costs £30 per half year, payable in January & June each year. The group operates a £1 fee per Wednesday meeting attended, which is used for additional funding for the layout, over and above that contributed by the SHMRC.
The group is affiliated to the Gauge 0 Guild and reports on its activities appear in the Guild News. All current members of the group are G0G members; membership of the Guild is encouraged, but not obligatory.
