activities the other forming a small social area. With good amenities, lighting and carpeting the venue is focal
point for those members interested in railway modelling.
Various scale/gauge sections of the Club meet at different times during the week, both during the day and in the evenings. Section times are as follows:
4mm/ft 00 Section - Monday Morning
7mm/ft 0 Section - Tuesday Afternoon
4mm/ft P4 Section - Tuesday Evening
British N Section - Wednesday Evening

However with access to the Clubroom being available 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year, it is
common to find activity taking place at other times of the week including weekends when preparation for events
such as exhibitions is required.
Modelling activities revolve around the main front room where the layouts are constructed and operated.
The space allows for several layouts to be erected at once to be worked upon, with others stored until required for an operating
session or to be prepared for an exhibition appearance. Extensive adjustable wall shelving allows items to be stored maximising
the floor area for modelling activities.
The back room provides a social area where members meet and discuss topics of the day, including
railways! The Club's library of prototype and modelling books/publications is also located here, as is a table for
small scale modelling.
There are basic catering facilities, with the all important urn for coffee and tea.
