The Gauge O Guild Summer Show at Kempton Park.

[Lancastrian]

This show is back by popular demand. A Southern Show was requested for many years and preparations for June 1st 2024 are progressing well .

This year Tony Andrews, Show Manager, has booked eight layouts including the East Midlands Test track.
A good range of demonstrators will be on hand to share their skills and numerous traders have booked to attend. Full details can be found here:

The Gauge O Guild

The Gauge O Guild is one of the largest single scale model railway societies in the world.

Kempton Park Racecourse is not in the ULEZ zone, it has ample free parking and it has its own railway station with trains direct from London Waterloo. If you are in any doubt about routes or hotels and ULEZ, it is easy to put a postcode into the ULEZ Postcode Checker sites found via Google.

So, there is nothing to deter you from attending and, after so many requests to keep the show running I hope you will come and support us.

A reminder, tickets admit your partner as well as yourself. I know this gets a mention in the small print, but I wasted £10 buying an advance ticket for Marion at Kettering

I really enjoyed the exhibition at Kempton Park last year, a great venue with loads of free parking. The only downside for some was that the trains were on strike, so hopefully this year the attendances will be up, and this venue will become a permanent fixture.

A nice short video showing the set-up day at Kempton Park Racecourse, as well as the venue itself...and even the railway station! Look out for "trolley cam"

 

[Arun Sharma]

It was a good show - well organised, well attended by traders and demonstrators. Laid out in a site very reminiscent of the UWE site that B0GG used to have their January 7mm show at by Bristol Parkway. The catering was brilliant as well.

Second vote for the catering, much better than last year.

nice to catch up with a few Thunderers, (and Chaz of Dock Green fame)

 

[Dan Randall]

An excellent venue and as Arun said, very reminiscent of the much missed Bristol exhibition.

The video just goes to show the amount of work that goes on before (and after!), each event, for our pleasure - well done to all concerned and I hope the trade support did well from today’s show.


Regards

Dan

Well the trade did well from me! The bring and buy stand brings a beguiling confidence that a sale of a modest loco will cover all kinds of odds and ends for the current project. This works especially well with the "drop while you shop" facility, so the truth only becomes apparent after emptying bags and pockets (and wallet) on the train home

Great show, nice to meet a few more folks from here. One very happy customer and lots of chatting. Great venue as well.
