We are pleased to announce that this year our exhibition will be joined by Eileen’s Emporium. https://www.eileensemporium.com/

We welcome Derek and Anita and hope they enjoy our exhibition as much as we do.

We are very pleased to announce that the 2022 Poole Model Railway Exhibition is on the 16th Of October. After two years away we are very pleased to be back.

We are sorry to say that the Poole & District Model Railway Society’s 2020 exhibition on the 18th of October has been canceled. Given the current situation, I’m sure you understand.

We are however fully engaged for 2021 and hope you will be able to attend next year.  Once we have more information it will be posted here.

Keep safe,

Poole & District Model Railway Society.

Due to the current situation, the Poole and District Model Railway Club will be closed for at least one month.  We will monitor the situation closely and will reopen when it is advised safe to do so.  We will post here when the club will be open again for club activities.

This Bank Holiday Monday is the Grand Donkey Derby, Dog Show, Exhibition & Fete at Pelhams Park in Kinson.  And this year, for the first time, they are putting an a Model Railway exhibition and one of our layouts will be there!  The event is hosted by the Bournemouth North Rotary Club and its all for charity.

One of our regular visitors to our Exhibition is Keith Tucker and he has made some great videos capturing all the main layouts at the show.

Thanks to all members who came and helped at a very busy show from the Committee.

Our special thanks go to Jame’s for all his hard work done in the arranging and organisation of the show and our special thanks to the boys at Model Railway Solutions for bringing their fantastic layout Bournemouth West to the Exhibition which also won by a long way best layout at the show.

Also a special thanks to all visitors who made this one of the best attended shows we have ever put on.

So to all those involved goes a big Thank You from the Committee.
