Exhibitions Start Again

We are pleased to announce that we have been invited to be part of the Bognor Regis Model Railway Club Exhibition, taking place on the weekend of 15th and 16th January 2022. This is the first exhibition that many of us have been involved in for some time and comes as a welcome return to the wider world of model railways. The layout we will be exhibiting is one of our larger layouts called Forleigh. This is a layout that we inherited from the Fawley Power Station club some years ago, hence its name. You can see more details on our layouts page. Over the time we have had it, we have refurbished it and created a modern image layout with heritage railway branch.

The layout has been taken out of storage and reassembled for checking and cleaning. Like any layout that has been stored for some time, there are always things to repair and replace, but we will be ready and keen to run in time for the exhibition. We look forward to seeing you there. Why not come along, ask us about Forleigh, and maybe about our club too. New members are always welcome.

For more information the Bognor club’s website can be viewed here.

2021 AGM

This was the first AGM that the club has held under our new constitution of Charitable Incorporated Organisations (CIO).


As required by the charity commission, new trustees were elected to serve a minimum of one year. The club has opted to elect 4 four people to the trustee position.


In addition, the new committee was also elected, and we were able to fill all the positions required.


Twenty-one members attended the meeting with several apologies. The membership secretary reported that we now have a membership of approximately fifty, and several new people have shown an interest in joining.


The treasurer reported that the club’s finances were in a healthy position and that although members had been offered a subscription holiday last year due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, most members continued to pay their annual subscription. The chairman commented that this was greatly appreciated.

However, please keep an eye on the RailEx Page as we are in the early stages of planning RailEx 2022.
