This is one of our informal quarterly meetings where our members show off their latest Meccano creations.
Light refreshments will be available and our resident Meccano dealer Ted Muggridge will have new and used parts for sale.
At around 2:00pm we will have a short committee meeting, followed by the Model Tour in which members are invited to give a short talk about their models — in particular their entries for the Secretary’s Challenge!
You are welcome to come along to view the models and chat to our members. If you want to bring along a model of your own, we’d love to see it! Only if you attend our meetings regularly will you be asked to pay our annual subscription charge.
The Railway 200 Secretary’s Challenge
This year sees the 200th anniversary of the opening of the Stockton & Darlington Railway on 27 September 1825. Railway 200 is a year-long nationwide partnership-led campaign to celebrate 200 years of the modern railway.
The Challenge for this meeting is therefore to build railway models such as locomotives, rolling stock, wagons, station buildings, signal boxes etc. which can also be displayed at our Meccano Show.
