The Guilds contribution to the hobby is excellent, over 550 videos including hundreds (?) of the 'An evening with..' series that must cover everything a modeller could want to know. They're on the Guilds YouTube channel linked in Rob's post above.

Join us for the day next Saturday to enjoy the live demonstrations and Q & A sessions.
Unfortunately the Management Committee session has had to be cancelled but members have numerous options for contacting the MC via the Forum, at events and at the AGM
There are several layouts videos and demo videos to view and numerous trader adverts to peruse
Many of the layouts will not have been seen before as they are located at people's homes or in the shed so cannot or have not been on the exhibition circuit.
The live sessions will be recorded on 1st Feb and everything is available via the Gauge O Guild website via the front page portal.
The countdown clock starts tomorrow

Sit back in your favourite armchair, make sure you have some refreshments to hand and enjoy. It is totally free of charge for all.

Interesting to see so many videos in that channel. A little constructive feedback though ... On the "An evening with..." videos it would be useful to have a topic description as well as the name of the person. Looking through the list I have no idea who the majority of the names are, so no idea what topic they will be covering.

Chris, the new title graphics have all that included

Looking forward to catching up with the videos, especially the Bowaters Paper Railway Layout next week sometime as busy on Saturday, operating my layout at the 7mm NGA Trent Valley Group’s January Modelling Day (yes we know it’s February).

So shall get the best of both worlds, a day playing trains fuelled by bacon sarnies and cake. Followed by the virtual show in the days after.



Cheers
Andrew
