Display
Time: Early setup – 8:30-9 AM Saturday, May 24th,
Display – 1 PM Saturday, May 24th to 4 PM Sunday May 25th
Location: WMC 3253
Format: The display is your opportunity to participate in the meet!
To participate: Bring your models! Complete a model display form in advance if you wish.
The Display will be at the centre of the live meet activities and we invite you to show your model railroad projects, whether partly underway or complete. All are welcome, from those taking their first steps in the hobby to those who’ve been at it a very long time, and everyone in between.
Bring any project that will fit on the bus or in your vehicle, including models (structures, locomotives, rolling stock, track work, scenery, etc), photos, drawings, prototype track and layout diagrams, and any other projects (circuits, signal systems, tools, etc) related to the hobby.
Please let us know in advance if you are bringing something that will have special space or power requirements. Emails can be sent to the Display Coordinator. Your email will help us plan the space effectively and will ensure your projects are displayed as attractively as possible.
Meet the Modeller
Time: Sunday, May 25th
Location: WMC 3260
Format: Short, informal presentations
We are also pleased to announce that we will hold Meet-The-Modeller in person in the morning on May 28th. Meet-The-Modeller is a highlight of the meet for us and gives a low key way to meet other modellers, learn about interesting projects and to ask a few questions. Each of us displaying models or other projects is given a brief chance to introduce ourselves, answer questions about the project we’ve displayed and chat with like-minded folks.
Come as you are; you do not need to prepare any speaking notes. It is relaxed and friendly, and uncompetitive. Everyone is welcome and encouraged (but not required) to participate. Even if you don’t bring something to display, join the audience and get to know the other attendees a little better.
