East Anglian Model Railway Exhibition –
Important Updates
8th & 9th
June 2019
40 layouts,
30 traders, 6 demonstrators and 11 societies / clubs attended the exhibition
this year. The attendance figures show that we had just over 2000 attendees
this year. The numbers were lower than in previous years but having changed the
venue and time of year, we have to treat it like a brand, new show which has to
grow.
Overall
feedback was positive from the visitors and exhibitors and the date was
advertised for 2020.
13th & 14th
June 2020 – Cancelled
Having
had a break in July, it got to August when the whole process of organising the
Exhibition starts again and I realised that after 10 years as Exhibition Manager,
it was time for me to hand over the reins and have more time for me and
modelling.
As many exhibition managers know, organising such a big
exhibition does tend to take over your life.
Unfortunately, none of our members can give the time to
organise the 2020 exhibition so that has been cancelled and any traders and
exhibitors have been informed. Any Please 2020 flyers you may have should be
destroyed.
I also notified the exhibitors booked for 2021 and 2022
about the situation and explained to them all, that if things changed, we would
be in touch but I have also stated that a new exhibition manager may want
different exhibits so, there are no guarantees about future bookings.
2021
onwards
The good news is that Charlotte Saunderson has now been
appointed as Exhibition Manager with a view to forming a team of people who
will organise the exhibitions for 2021 onwards. The fact that I have spoken to
everyone that was booked previously means that Charlotte can make a fresh start.
Thankyou
I wish Charlotte the very best for the future and would like
to thank everyone who has supported our East Anglian Model Railway Exhibitions
and especially, thank you to all who have helped me in my role over the years

Charlotte Saunderson Exhibition Manager
Introducing, Charlotte Saunderson the new Exhibition Manager of East Anglian Model Railway Exhibition.
Charlotte joined St. Neots MRC in 2016 and instantly became involved with building a new layout as well as organising social events and joining the committee.
A keen railway enthusiast, Charlotte likes both steam and diesel locomotives and regularly attends galas and open days to see her favourite locomotives. She also attends exhibitions with her and her partner’s layout, Passage Lane TMD.
When not involved with trains, models or life size, Charlotte enjoys crafting and reading, Jane Austen especially.
Charlotte is looking forward to working with her exhibition team and bringing her bubbly personality into the new role.
