Other Attractions

Catering

A range of hot and cold snacks and drinks will be available in Hall 2.  The catering will be supplied by Herb & Spice Catering of Altrincham.  The exact menu is still to be confirmed  

 

The catering area also provides the space for visitors to eat their own picnics which they have brought with them or bought from one of the numerous fast food outlets near the venue.  

Society Sales

Once again, our popular second hand stall is back.  On sale are items donated to the Society by members of the public, and also items owned by present members who wish to dispose of them to raise money for other projects.  This stand will be in Hall 1.

MMRS Members’ Competition Stand

This stand,  in Hall 1, is an opportunity for visitors to see the models built by our members since last year’s exhibition.  You will see some exquisite work featuring not only the traditional craft skills, but also examples of new and advanced techniques, such as laser cutting and 3D printing. 

Don’t let the standard of these models dishearten you!  There is a great deal of enjoyment to be had by buying off-the-shelf models and running them on a simple layout!

This stand will also display some of our own collection of historic models, some dating back to before 1920.

The Demonstration Desks

The MMRS has always been in the vanguard of modelling techniques and is always ready to share their knowledge and expertise with others.  (Have a look at the “Technical Articles” section of this website.) 

The demonstration desks allowed some of our most experienced modellers to share their skill with exhibition visitors.  You could expect to see demonstrations using 3D printed items and laser cut components, as well as demonstrations of scenic effects and kit building.

The photo shows how laser cut plywood and card can be combined with 3D printed chimney pots and drainpipes to produce a row of shops.

The MMRS Membership Stand

Your chance to speak to one of our committee members and learn about the facilities we have at Dean Hall (our clubrooms in Sale).  Hopefully, you will want to join the MMRS.  We always offer a special deal on fees at the exhibition.

Parent Respite Areas

These two areas offer a place for parents with small children to have a sit down and rest.  They are Toytown Terminus (a reserved part of the catering area) and Junior Junction (in the entrance lobby).  There will be toys, games and drawing materials in both areas to keep the children amused.
