Gillingham
On the 3rd and 4th September 2011 six SELMEC and one Holy Trinity Meccano Club/Runnymede Meccano Guild members exhibited their models at the Medway Modelling Club (MMC) Show at the Royal Engineers Museum in Gillingham.
The collage of pictures below shows the overall layout in the background with individual enlargements superimposed. We had an ‘L’ shaped arrangement of tables. Starting clockwise from the table at top left, the Meccano exhibitors were:
- Chris Fry
- Jim Cass
- Alan Wenbourne
- Andrew Couzens
- John Gay and Cathy Claydon
- John Cowdery
- George Foard
All of the exhibitors’ models
The consensus was that it was a good show and venue. We had fun and enjoyed contact and conversations with many of the interested visitors. Those of us with heavy models found the walk from the unloading doors to, and up the 20 steps to the mezzanine floor, enough exercise for one day! It was at my request that we were located on the mezzanine, because last year I was sited under it which was somewhat dark, but close to a mains power supply.
