Come see us at the Midlands Model Engineering Exhibition

Coventry Model Engineering Society will be exhibiting models built by club members at the 30th Midlands Model Engineering Exhibition which starts on the 12th October 2007 at the Warwickshire Exhibition Centre. This is your chance to see the models up close and ask members of the club any questions you may have.

We now have a new gallery of photos taken during the exhibition of the models on display built by club members

Last day of public running for 2007

This coming Sunday (30th September) will see the last time the railway will be open for public running in 2007.

As always the railway will be open from 1pm to 4pm so do not miss your last change this year to buy your ticket and enjoy a ride on our railway. The railway will re-open around Easter 2008 but it's a long time to wait.

An egg-citing start to 2007

At last following a heavy workload caused by the amount of rain we’ve had over the past months the weather was kind to us – Easter Sunday turned out to be a beautiful day, worthy of a 'Summers Day' and the crowds were out.

Ryton Pools Miniature Railway opened for its first day of the 2007 season with the new ticket office doing a steady trade throughout the afternoon, the station itself now had a name 'Ryton Halt', the new tickets were on sale and the track signals were working.

CMES win Best Stand at the Town & Country Festival 2006

Each year the Midlands Model Engineering Federation judge both the Stands themselves as well as the models displayed. This year, in addition to the four certificates awarded to individual models, our society was also awarded the MAC Tools trophy for “Best Stand”, this is awarded based, not only on what is on display, but also on how the people manning the stand interact with the public, answering questions or explaining about the Society. We last won this in 2004 so it was a pleasant surprise to once again be the recipients. The photograph show the presentation of the Trophy from Harvey Fisher of the Midlands Federation.

You can see a short video of our stand in the video section.
