26th & 27th September 2009

Saturday 10.30hrs - 18.00hrs
Sunday 10.00hrs - 16.30hrs

Admission for both days: Scalefour Society Members:£3.50;
Others: £6.50
Partners & accompanied children free.

  Planning for Scaleforum 2009 is already underway, and we hope to repeat the successes of recent years despite some challenging circumstances.

Our aim, as always, is to provide an event with an atmosphere of enjoyment, education and inspiration, and we invite you to attend both days if you possibly can. Due to changes at the venue a full range of catering is not expected to be available for this year, and the Society regrets any inconvenience this may cause to you. We can offer advice on local accommodation for those travelling from further away.
 

Scaleforum is much more than a typical model railway exhibition. There are:

 
Demonstrations covering topics as diverse as soldering to suspension

Inspirational layouts of all types and sizes

A "Society Area" where advice can be sought

The renowned “Bring and Buy” stand

An unsurpassed collection of finescale manufacturers and traders
