BEXLEYHEATH MODEL RAIL SHOW Sun 15th Dec 20 layouts & 17 Traders
FREE MEMBERSHIP! Yes that is correct, One of the first model railway groups in the UK to offer its members FREE MEMBERSHIP. All we ask in return is you give up one day a year to help show some of the groups layouts at community events, retirement homes, charity events and help promote this great hobby. You don't need to own a model railway layout, come and join and help on other members railways or help with the clubs three layouts at events. Most of the community events happen over the weekdays and evenings and we have been asked to attend special events at primary schools to help with projects and at present actively promoting secondary schools into starting their own school model railway clubs. We also plan group trips to model railway exhibitions and days out to real preserved railways and transport rallies. We have our own van built to carry three layouts and we raise money at some shows we run for the upkeep and insurance of this van and the build of new layouts and publicity and to promote this hobby and extend the membership. This year we have visited 16 Care homes, 3 fetes, 12 schools and acted as a go between for peopel wishing to donate layouts, stock and track to community groups with layouts going to a youth group in Cardiff, and 4 schools in London and Kent. |
