Exhibition 2009

Loftus Road 

Thanks goes to all the exhibitors, traders, club members and visitors who helped make the 2008 Worthing MRC exhibition a success, we hope you enjoyed the show!

The 2009 show is set to be held in the same venue, and is likely to build on this year’s excellent selection of exhibits by featuring layouts such as Paul Wade’s 1990’s ‘Tonbridge West Yard’ layout, as well as the usual good trade support.   DEMU Roadshow Stand 

At the 2008 show, Diesel and Electric Modellers United attended the show for the first time with a Roadshow stand offering regular demonstrations about DCC and weathering, amongst other topics, and had full details about how to join the society.

Round The Bend

There was plenty of action to be seen on Worthing MRC’s ‘N’ Gauge layout ‘Round The Bend’, which provided visitors with a chance to drive trains themselves over the weekend!

Access for disabled visitors is very easy and there is free on-site parking.

By car:  The easiest approach to the venue is from the Westbound A27.  Eastbound A27 has no immediate right turn access to the venue, instead head to the next roundabout and head back West.

 By Bus: From Worthing, you can now catch either the No.7 and alight at Manor Parade and cross the A27 to the college via the footbridge, and from Lancing station, the No7 heading to Worthing and alight at Manor Parade.
New service “THE PULSE” from Worthing and alight at Cokeham Road/Upper Boundstone Lane, and walk up Upper Boundstone Lane to the college. “THE PULSE” also runs back to Worthing from Lancing station and the alighting point is as before.

Light refreshments will be available throughout both days.
