A Trainz presence is now almost assured - and I am hoping to be able to provide TRS2006 and some add-ons for sale, quite possibly at discount. Watch this space!

Also the hall is in the confirmation stage. This should be confirmed by early December.

Any more details? This seems interesting. What about accomodation, is there any in the area?

If so, where can I keep my PC at night etc?

Hi Paul.

I will shortly be uploading a list of all of these details like accomodation. There is accomodation in the area, yes. Once the hall's sorted I'll list the closest B&B's etc.

Hope this helps

I am happy to announce that a hall in Amersham has been booked. The halls in Great Missenden are both booked and this one is as big. The facilities are the same. It is a 15 minute walk from the train station - although for about 45p you could take the bus as there is a bus stop right outside. Parking is also there.

Accomodation wise Amersham is much richer than Great Missenden as shown below:

B&B's

This B&B is rather good and just a 10 minute meander to the hall. It's run by friendly people (when I had a paper round I delivered their papers) - http://www.visitbuckinghamshire.org/sit ... ane-p48661

Other than that there is http://www.visitbuckinghamshire.org/sit ... ide-p80451 which looks reasonable although I have no idea who runs it I'm afraid.

And that's it - not that much other than double rooms or more - for these and others see http://www.visitbuckinghamshire.org/sit ... &x=84&y=11

Hope this helps. I'll be uploading FAQ sort of things later in the week and aim to have a complet exhibitor list not soon after.

More developments!

At the show we are discussing, not by my suggestion I have to add, a vintage car display with 6 or more cars from the 1930's - 1960's at any one time. Nice and easy to organise - a 1933 and 1969 car live in my garage! Also a 1940's Morris is just accross the road, and around the corner are lots of other vintage vehicles.

It is also expected that, if space is needed to be filled, our 7.25" loco 'Christine Mary' will be on display - not in steam - at the event.

Update e-mail list

An update e-mail system, in the form of .pdf's, will be available shortly. Please e-mail me (jon_potter@tesco.net) - not blank thouh or it will be automatically deleted - with your name, username and e-mail and you'll be getting one a month until the event, starting mid-December :)

Another post from me :)

Apparently UKTS are coming. First I've heard of it, but apparently so.

Right, ok. Thanks for the B&B information. If I came, I would have to bring my whole PC. Anywhere I can leave it?

Yes, simply. If you trust me ( :) ) you could dump it at my place.

UKTS are now provisionally down, and Tim Court will be over from America.
