connollystn Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Ah! You're going to miss a great day. All of the I.R.M. As will be on display, there'll be a couple of new announcements by them and you'll miss the chance to meet some of the guys off here but, I'm I'm sure you'll have a good day anyway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertRoche Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Update from WMRC Preparations are well underway for the WMRC Open Day this Sunday. We hope to see lots of you there for this first post-covid model railway show. In line with public health measures that will come into effect this Friday, COVID Certs/proof of vaccination will be checked at the door, face masks must be worn indoors including in the main hall and social distancing should be observed. There will be ample room for social distancing in the hall. The hall opens at 11am on Sunday. Donations will be accepted at the door for WMRC building extension and club funds. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRENNEIRE Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Just a short message as the show is getting close, given currents covid guidance, covid certs will be needed and will be checked by St Joseph’s front desk, masks and social distancing will also be needed, but given the space in the hall distancing should not be an issue, Look forward to seeing everyone 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irishrailwayman Posted October 22, 2021 Author Share Posted October 22, 2021 We had all hoped that the remaining covid restrictions would be lifted by 22nd October 2021 but it turns out to be just a partial reprieve. The good news is that there are no longer restrictions on numbers for indoor events but the bad news is that valid Covid Certificates and photo ID will be necessary to access the upcoming Open Day in Wexford.

Warbonnet Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Hi everyone, I will be there with my IRM hat on with some As, wagons and our buses for sale, as well as some nice accessory items and a couple of warehouse finds too. So, make sure you drop by, say hi, and check out what we have on the day. Will be fantastic to see some familiar faces after so long. Oh, and something new too (small but very nice announcement!) Cheers! Fran 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connollystn Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Hi guys! Miss this show at your peril. There'll be a more happening than the I.R.M. crowd want you to know. Really looking forward to Wexford - it'll be a great show. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dangerous Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I hope that somebody's gonna be streaming some of the show to YouTube. It'd be nice to catch WRENNEIRE beating up RimFix in a corner while stealing his 141's, and for those of us trapped in sunny paradise, it would be nice to catch the IRM announcement live in 4K while we take a breather in the shade. Any offers??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connollystn Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Was thinking of getting Warbonnet into a head-lock as to remove his I.R.M. hat but I don't fancy taking responsibility for a model of the next Irish railway prototype. As for streaming the Wexford show, just need to find the record button on my Nokia 3310 and Bob's your uncle. By the way, if anyone attending the show on Sunday want to know who I am, I'll be the 53 year old guy going through a mid-life crisis. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagles Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Looking forward to the Wexford show. Hopefully the IRM announcement will be the Beet wagon or the Ammonia wagons.

Well now, Mr Eagles - why do you need a RTR beet wagon? Pop along to the Provincial Wagons stand and buy my kit of the wagon from Lorna - who has taken on the great job that Anthony did for me. Her first outing with a Provincial Wagons "hat" on (sorry, Fran!) so give her some business. If you don't believe it's easy to make, ask Robert Roche of the local club. He made ten within a couple of days of getting them from me. The bad news is that Lorna only has ten of them to sell - thanks to the Little Englanders, moving stuff "home" ain't easy - working on it! Have a great day guys. Well done the Boys of Wexford for getting "exhibitions" back on the rails!

But all were good. Naturally, I came back with yet a few more Provincial Wagons......... Well done Wexford! 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
