Exhibition Report

Ilford & West Essex (Romford)
2nd / 3rd October 2010

Having missed this exhibition last year, it was a pleasure to return on the clubs 80th Anniversary year and 55th Exhibition weekend. A change of location this year from the main hall to the hall adjacent to the refectory. Setup on Friday evening followed by finalise setup on Saturday morning. The weather was not as bad as it has been on previous visits to this show, nevertheless WET.

A good exhibition, albeit spread across 3 halls. Layout quality and variety was also good with trams in 4mm and 7mm, a couple of large American layouts in 2mm and 4mm and a host of UK outline in various scales. A good selection of traders and plenty to see and buy.

Our thanks to the Ilford & West Essex Model Railway Club for the invitation, refreshments and location. Our thanks to all those that gave of their time to help us demonstrating, to those who dropped by for a chat and to the members of the public who visited the exhibition over the weekend. Short crew and illness meant that only a limited number of photos were taken.
