11.00 - 1600

The Symposium date has been changed from February to July in order to have fewer clashes with other events.  

The format has changed somewhat with more emphasis on displaying what the Club is about rather than making it a mini exhibition.   There will be a few traders, those who are Club members being invited, a lot of layouts and demonstrations of modelling skills and techniques.

Refreshments will be limited to drinks and snacks but there are a number of establishments offering more substantial food close by.

Admission charges will be £2.00 for adults and £1.00 for children.

Do come along and see us ‘at home’ where you will find a marked difference from our annual exhibition at the NEC., where most of us have little time to just chat about the Club and its activities.

The following groups are currently active within the Club and all will be present at the Symposium:-

N Gauge
OO Gauge
EM Gauge
7mm Narrow Gauge
O Gauge
Scale 7
G Scale
In addition we also have an active younger members section who currently model in OO Gauge

If your interest is outside these groups why not come along and talk to us about your modelling preferences – there is probably someone else in the Club who does the same thing and a new group may well be formed.

Additionally in the board room there will be a display of the club competition entries, together with an opportunity to buy surplus library items, as well as the chance to discuss and possibly even apply for membership.

So I hear you ponder or otherwise, what the *** is a Symposium

Oxford English Dictionary: Symposium noun; a conference or meeting to discuss a particular academic or specialist subject.

The following article about the 2009 event appeared in the Express and Star.  This is the club's local evening newspaper, with which we enjoy a very good relationship.  We would like to thank the Express and Star staff for their ongoing support:-
