Convention 29 - 2012

The date for the 2012 Modelling the Railways of NSW Convention will be Saturday the 28th July.

The venue remains at Loftus TAFE.

Gates will open at 8.30 am.

The organising committee are in the process of putting together a program of speakers and demonstrations on various subjects relating to modelling the NSW prototype.

As always we are keen to hear from people who may be interested in contributing to the convention. Without input from the modelling fraternity the convention cannot function, it's that simple !

For many years presentations have been provided by a small but dedicated pool of modellers with new presenters coming onto the scene only on rare occasions. The committee would like to be in a position each year of having a surplus of presenters in order to provide the widest scope of subjects possible. The reality is, each year we usually just make it !

The other reality is the decline in attendees over the last few years. Obviously there is significant cost in putting on an event such as the convention. This cost is covered by paying attendees and, to a lesser extent, but just a important, the commercial traders.

At the risk of sounding a bit 'cliche' ish, it's your convention - be a part of it!

If you are interested in presenting or demonstrating, even if you're not sure and would like to discuss it, you can leave us a message in the comments area. If there is a particular topic you would like to suggest, then let us know, we may know someone with the knowledge or advertise what we are looking for.

Further details will be posted as they become available.
