Driving the last spike… Canute Road Quay on the road in September and October

5 Comments

Canute Road Quay is appearing at a few exhibitions this month and next.

First up, on Saturday 30th September 2023, I will be exhibiting with my friends at  Risborough and District MRC and their small Haddenham Show at  Haddenham Village Hall, Banks Park, Banks Rd, Haddenham HP17 8EE.
Opening at 10am it will featuring seven layouts and a few traders. One of the other layouts attending is excellent High Wycombe and district MRS ‘Junior modellers’ layout ‘Mothecombe’ set in Devon and is a joint Southern/Western Region Branchline and is well worth a look.

Saturday 21st October 2023 sees Canute Road Quay at the Beckenham & West Wickham MRC exhibition in their new larger venue at Forest Hill Boys School, Dacres Road, Forest Hill, London SE23 2XN  where another 18 layouts will also be present along with Demos and traders. The venue is only 15 mins walk from Forest Hill & Sydenham Stations and has local bus routes.

Finally for October, and not an exhibition as such, but Canute Road Quay has been kindly invited to be on display at the Southern Railways Group AGM at the Cornerstone Centre, Camphill Rd, West Byfleet KT14 6EH.
The Group was formed over 40 years ago to study and disseminate information about the Southern Railway, British Railways (Southern Region), its successors and minor railways in southern England. It is well worth being a member by anyone with an interest, both historical and or modelling in the Southern Railway.

If you are coming along to any of the shows, please drop by and say hello.

p.s. the title is once again a nod to a favourite band of mine…

  1. Good luck with the shows Graham although sadly I’ll not be able to attend.

    Although I no longer drive, just a heads up (to anyone who may be affected) that Forest Hill is within the ULEZ charging zone.

      1. Hi Graham, found you at last, I was looking for Town Quay, erroneously.
        I help out with the tram restoration in Southampton, just round the corner from the real Town Quay, and we have an open day / model railway show next June 2024, and wondered if we could tempt you along ?
        thanks and regards, Chris Williams, Southampton
