The major activity of the year is our own exhibition each October. Each year one of the three club layouts attends in (rotation), and most of the other members help out with the running of the exhibition and giving demonstrations.
Each of the club layouts typically attends from one to three outside exhibitions a year, which is a good opportunity for the group to go away for a weekend and socialise outside exhibition hours. Often members of other scale groups come along to help operate. In addition some club members have their own exhibition layouts that may need operators.
But it isn't all modelling. As well as club outings to preserved railways and other one-off events, we organise annually for members and their partners a pancake evening, Steam-a-cue (barbecue & live steam railway), Mince pie evening, photo competition in conjunction with other local clubs, modelling competition, and a club dinner (black tie very optional).
