Displays of Guild members’ models at Guildex 2010 Nick Baines

15 July 2010
Displays of Guild members’ models at Guildex 2010

Flying Scotsmen
A number of Guild members are building Flying Scotsmen from the Hachette partwork. If you are one of them, this is your chance to display your work and meet some of your fellow builders. Bring your model along, in whatever state of completion, to the Technical Committee stand on Sunday. We’ll display it with all the rest, and there will also be a Scottie-builders get-together at the stand at 12 noon.

Past competition winners
Some splendid and inspiring models have been prize-winners in the modelling competition in past years, but most people will have seen them only briefly, and they deserve another showing. If you are a past prize-winner (no matter how long ago), bring your model along to the Technical Committee stand on Sunday and let everyone have another chance to admire it.

Please let us know if you intend to contribute to either display, by
emailing or writing to Nick Baines, 82 Waverley Avenue, Kidlington, Oxon OX5 2ND

Langley Show date confirmed for 31 October Malcolm Parsons, 6012

31 October 2010
Despite the misalignment in one of the listings in the newsletter, the LANGLEY show date is definitely Sunday 31 OCTOBER!
This year's show is the 24th presented by the West London Group. The date of Sunday 31 October is a little earlier than usual to fit in with availability of our usual hall and to try to avoid other local shows of O Gauge interest.
The venue is Langley Community College, Langley Road, Langley, near Slough, SL3 8BS; admission times 10am to 4.30pm, admission £4 (ladies and accompanied juniors free). Expect the usual mix of layouts and traders, bring and buy, light refreshments and, of course, the test track including live steam.
