Refreshments will be available and the club shop will be open, selling quality pre-owned N gauge at competitive prices. There will also be a silent auction. Entry is £1 for adults, children free.

Nigel Appleton, publicity officer, said: “As a club, we missed nearly two years of meetings and lost some of our members during that period.

“We have a small club shop but over the past two years, we have been inundated with a large amount of secondhand stock, which we need to clear as soon as possible. All will be on sale on March 5, along with a silent auction, just to make it a bit more fun.

“We are planning a full show at Shoreham Baptist Church in November, which was a success in November 2019.”
