Might want to add the position of the 3mm hole between the long air pass and the cylinder rather than spend the 4 days depating it’s position.😉

Good to see SMEE will be using a metric engine which should be better for beginners to understand. But start them off with drawings that show what is needed. They can find out what ME drawings are really like once they have been hooked.

God  willing I’ll be  there ! Noel

I hope they put the shuttle bus to the station back on, taxi is not cheap and public service bus eats into the time at the exhibition

The Stagecoach service No.64 (to Rugby) from outside All Saints Church in Leamington will take you to the exhibition. The bus stop is a few mins walk from the station and if you have a bus pass it is free but, if you don’t, it will be a maximum of £2 each way. Turn left out of the station, walk under the girder bridge and turn left at the traffic lights (there is a snicket under the station signposted for the town centre but it’s six of one and a half dozen of the other as far as distance is concerned). The church and bus stop are about 200 yards from the traffic lights on your right.

The No.64 doesn’t stop as close to the showground as the shuttle bus will, again its a few minutes walk across the car park, but you can see the events centre from the bus stop near the roundabout. The return bus stop is exactly opposite on the other side of the road but there is no sign, (or at least there hasn’t been for the last two years). You can download the Stagecoach app to your phone for the bus times.

What’s the Parking like at the show?

A huge flat area that holds countless vehicles. depending on luck you may have a couple of hundred yards to walk but no problem. Noel.

The only problem you might have is if we a lot of rain prior to the event, parts of the car park can turn into a quagmire. Also drive very slowly as you go along the main drive in,  as the last few times I’ve been it was full of large potholes.

Hi, that should say Noel not Andrew in my post above.

Regards Nick.

As others have said, there is plenty of parking, but it is mostly on grass with hard surfaced drives between. When I went to the Garden railway show in March it was too wet to park on the grass so parking was alongside the roads with one side of the car on the grass. Some people seemed to have trouble with this!
