SWING EXHIBITION

[pic]

Welcome to our Seventh Exhibition.

Our biggest (and we hope best) show to date! This year sees us in a new venue giving us more scope to present you with a wide range of high quality layouts in differing scales and gauges based around a Narrow Gauge, Industrial or Light Railway theme. These we hope you will find both entertaining and inspiring. Another new feature is our “Ride & Drive Zone”. A chance to see modelling demonstrations and to get hands on. We will be more than pleased to hear any comments you might have to offer. On behalf of the South downs Group I should like to thank all those who have contributed to the event, layout owners and operators, traders, and society supporters. Lastly I take this opportunity to thank all the members of group, partners and families for supporting the show and our other activities. Richard Rundle - Exhibition Manager

To enjoy your visit please remember…

• In the event of an emergency evacuation leave the building via the nearest emergency exit. Make your way to the entrance to the Arun Leisure centre. Do not re-enter the building until told it is safe to do so.

• If you require first aid please speak to any South Downs group member (Maroon polo shirt with logo).

• Please ask permission before taking photographs (if possible avoid using flash).

• Please discourage younger visitors from touching the exhibits. What takes many hours of love to build can be destroyed in seconds by careless hands. Instead head to the “Ride and drive” zone .

• Please take care with bags and rucksacks, especially to avoid these swinging into the path of other visitors (particularly those in wheelchairs/buggies).

Most of all though - enjoy your visit!

Each year we make two awards in memory of two former members. These are:-

The John Hayward Shield We will again be awarding this to the layout which you, the visitors adjudge to be the best – by whatever standards you choose to judge by. Please remember to complete the ballot form and post it by 15:00 for the result to be declared at 15:30.

The Ernie House Trophy. Awarded in memory of another long-standing member, Ernie House, this will be awarded to the layout adjudged the best by the “experts”, i.e. the layout owners, exhibitors and traders.

Don't forget to visit Buffer's Bistro in the Refreshments area for snacks and beverages!
