21.01.2022 Important information to all members and guest regarding activities at the clubhouse over the next couple of weeks. This saturday (8 august) is our monthly running day where members can run their trains on the club's layout with visitors more than welcome to come along and veiw. This is one of the last chances we have to make sure locomotives and layouts are at high operating standards before carnival of trains in September. Saturday August 15, there will be no access to the club due to the Monster Trucks event at the showgrounds. Locomotive in the photo is lner d16/3 "claud hamilton", simmering away at jamestown main platform, waiting for the single line to be clear, possibly a branch line goods.

The clubhouse will be open to visitors on Saturday September 19 and Sunday September 20. Due to Covid, we are uncertain as to the number of visitors that we are likely to receive. Our clubhouse has a capacity of 40 persons, all exercising social distancing. On the other hand, If visitor numbers on the first two days are very low, we may decide to not continue the event after September 20. Hopefully, this will not be necessary.

06.01.2022 Due to lack of patrons through the door...we will be shutting the doors today at 2pm and we will reopen on thursday morning at 10am....we look forward to seeing you then

02.01.2022 For the first weekend of Carnival of Trains (Saturday September 19 and Sunday September 20) we had lots of visitors and got lots of positive comments from them about our clubhouse and layouts. People have been very willing to follow our Covid protocols and we have had a very convivial atmosphere in the clubhouse. We will be open tomorrow, Monday September 21 from 10.00am to 4.00pm, and based on the number of visitors we get then, we will make further decisions about our opening days for the remainder of the Carnival of Flowers (up to Sunday September 27). If there are subsequent days when we aren’t open, we will advise in advance by Facebook.
