As a lead up to the show on 21/22nd Jan the Society stand made on outing to the Royal Priors shopping centre in Leamington Spa yesterday (14th ) in order to promote the show and the Society.

Lots of interest shown by youngsters in Steve Maddisons terrific American railroad layout which hooted and whistled and smoked throughout our time there - well done Steve.

We also geneated a lot of interest in the show, handing out fliers to young and old alike and I think we may even have enticed some lapsed modellers to come along to both the show and the Open Day on Sat 4th Feb. My thanks to Steve & Pat Maddison for bringing along their "Big Trains" to entertain everyone.

My thanks also to Dave Brice, Dave Hewett, Andi Nethercoat, Dave Osborne,  Ted Kent and John Tremlett for giving up part of their day to meet and greet and make the event a success.

Lookout for the Society stand at the show and come and say "Hello".
