But you do the maths and predict how many cases there will be in a few weeks time. You are a real Senna the soothsayer aren't you. Do you oft go around wringing your hands and proclaiming "Beware the Ides of March"? Pack in with the omens of doom, and tell us when the Auguries are good...

Nope.. and, strangely enough looking at layouts attending over the years Mike tried to have a variety. Problem was getting to build good exhibition layouts which werent GWR for a long time. He did include Winton, layouts from Dave and Shirley Row, mike sharman, Ian Futers, tGordon and Maggie Gravet, trams, o gauge American..so you obviuosly missed those non GW layouts.... And never forget that Mike had been brougt up with the LNER..hence..Sinnington... Baz 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post john new Posted March 17, 2020 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2020 It is with considerable reluctance that the Directors of the York Model Railway Show have decided that it is no longer viable to run this year’s Easter event. The continuing uncertainty concerning Covid-19 meant that this decision was inevitable. We regard people’s health and safety of paramount importance. We will be returning next year when the virus crisis has been (hopefully) resolved and I intend to operate the 2021 Show as 58th (Mk2) as near as possible. To any intended participants of this year’s Show please bear with me and I will be in touch on an individual basis as soon as possible.

RMweb Premium 60027Merlin Posted March 17, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 17, 2020 With regard to the advance tickets would it be feasible to give an option for those wishing to attend next year just to keep the 2020 tickets as a substitute? This would cut down the amount of work for you, which is no doubt very time consuming, plus the expense of return postage costs. All the best for dealing with the extra admin. etc. however the wisest decision was made. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My current understanding is that this will be one of the options offered when Peter contacts purchasers in due course as part of the follow up actions we now need to be implementing.

RMweb Gold john new Posted March 17, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) In response to a query received this evening via social media the Show website has been updated. Anyone not seeing the site notices needs to do a forced refresh to clear the cache - it was definitely updated this morning and also a blog post made with full details. Updated Nov 2022 - Images were lost from this post. As this thread is long dead NONE of my images posted in to it will be reloaded.

peterl Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I think that I have contacted all the advance ticket holders that I had email contact details for. If you have not heard from me and wish for a refund please contact me. If you wish to keep the tickets and use them for the 2021 Show then there is no need to get in touch. The tickets are valid.
