Jurassic Halt and Fudge Town at Silver Fox club Exhibition
Both layouts were on show in Milton Keynes on Saturday (16th August) and attracted much interest, albeit after a few problems. Much to our surprise and delight ‘Jurassic Halt’ at its first outing was awarded ‘Best in Show‘. We had several expressions of interest for future Exhibitions too.
Lincolnsfield Open Days
The next Open Day is on Sunday 30th November and we always hope to have at least two layouts up and running to show to visitors. Volunteers are requested to add their names to the attendance sheet on the club notice board for availability to ‘man’ the clubhouse on the open days.
2025 Annual Exhibition
This year’s Exhibition was held on Saturday 10th May at Queens’ School, Bushey.
In the sunshine, we welcomed over 400 family members and regular enthusiasts for a very successful day.
‘Back to Basics’ sessions
These are aimed at beginners who want to broaden their knowledge but as there are a wide range of topics (such is our hobby) many members may like to attend 1 or 2 of the sessions.
The format will be in groups of 3-4 and will include a ‘have a go’ section where attendees can ‘get their hands dirty’. Sessions can be repeated if numbers interested exceed the small group size, so no one will miss out.
The current schedule for sessions is : –
Back to Basics 2025 Proposed Programme
Morning sessions run 11.00-12.00
Evening sessions run 20.00 – 21.00
