Always an excellent event. Well worth going to - if you’ve never been before you’re unlikely to be disappointed! 😁

Terrible news tonight. Thoughts with those injured. How could this happen on a modern railway. 🙁

News is still emerging following the incident between Luton and Bedford that has brought all lines to a stand.

For now, we’re simply hoping everyone involved is safe and receiving the support they need.

SHGP Media has started uploading a few good videos to his YouTube Channel recently, all edited from clips taken at our Ely & District MRC Sat 16th May 2026 Exhibition.

Note: Our 2027 Exhibition will be on Sat 15th May - we are always the third Saturday in May. Save the date!

UPDATED: Thank you to everyone who came to our exhibition on Sat 16th May 2026.

The adult public vote for Best Layout was won by Bottom of the Barrel. Congratulations on receiving the Malcolm Hine Memorial Tankard! Very well deserved.

The pictures show how unique this lovely little layout is and it would have certainly made dear Malcolm smile as he sure liked his ale! 😎

The (very close!) runner up was Braughing and Stanton. Central Works came third.

In the children’s vote it was a very close run thing too. Donnersbachkogel got a lot of votes but in the end Bottom of the Barrel was the winner.

Shows going well so far. One layout seems to have a wiring problem - but we hope they can sort that out soon. 🤞

Here is a new video we are showing on the big screen in the main hall of the Exhibition all about the Club as we approach our 50th Anniversary year (we were formed in Nov 1976).

Enjoy!
