Surrey Support Group at Merstham Model Steam Show 21st/22nd May 2011

May

2011
The Surrey Support Group took their Sales Stand to the Merstham Model Steam Show over the weekend of 21st/22nd May. The show was not particularly well attended and our sales were only modest. Even with the benefit of being accompanied by Paul Gower and his second-hand books, by late Sunday afternoon it became obvious that after deducting the stand fee from our takings we had made only a very small profit.

The Surrey Support Group attended the one day Eastbourne Model Railway Exhibition on Saturday, 9th April. The stand raised a lot of interest amongst the visitors that will hopefully result in two new people joining the L&BR Trust. Sales were modest, the ‘Perchance’ DVD, ‘Thomas’ toys and the current issue of the L&BR Magazine were the main items of interest.
