Please find below a statement from the organisers of the Great British Model Railway Show re the cancellation of the event that was due to take place on 7th/8th November 2020.
"Following the recent government announcement and ‘The Rule of Six’, it has been decided, reluctantly, to concede defeat and cancel this year’s show in November. The venue, the British Motor Museum and organiser, Publishing Works Ltd., had been confident that they could stage a safe, enjoyable and Covid-compliant event with measures in place to protect visitors, staff and exhibitors that would more than meet current requirements. However, with restrictions increasing, rather than being relaxed and with the clock ticking, a decision had to be reached. The announcement last week had also led to a number of traders and exhibitors pulling out of the show, increasing the degree of difficulty at this stage.
We know that many people will be disappointed, especially those who booked tickets in advance, but we will be back next year with a bigger and better show for everyone to enjoy in a more relaxed environment than is currently possible. The show’s organisers would like to thank everyone for their support and encouragement and to let you know the dates for 2021 are 30th & 31st October."
