Email scam – We are aware that an email scam was circulated around the date of both the 2023 & 2024 shows ostensibly offering readers purchase of our attendance list. As no such list is compiled it cannot be sold! (Updated 23 May 2024) Please forward any you receive to report@phishing.gov.uk
2025 Show
17 Dec – Minor change on the layouts for 2025 page. One track gauge error corrected and one layout has been withdrawn.
Several other pages updated again as for some reason the updates done a few months ago had been replaced by the versions for the show held at Easter 2024!
4 Dec – (1) Additional layout (Penrhyn Quarries) added to the attending layouts list.
4 Dec – (2) The Box Office page updated.
14 Nov: Update to the expected Traders listing.
7 Nov: Updates to the expected Traders and Societies listings. Also updated the Layouts list (Minor revisions to layout names) and the first listing of the expected Demonstrators for 2025.
18 Oct: The listing for Layouts due in 2025 now updated to 43 layouts. Minor text revision to the Layouts page to make the link to 2025’s listing more obvious. One update also made on the Traders listing page.
The Traders, Demonstrators and Societies expected pages remain work in progress and will be further updated as the exact status of attendees for the 2025 Show becomes confirmed.
4 Sept: The Box Office at Eventbrite is now open for 2025 Show tickets. The header to our website page has been updated with the direct QR code link (See above). The Pre-paid bookings page will be updated as soon as possible; the agreed prices and times are already live. The final updates today were a back office upgrade to the system software (WordPress). We are unaware of any glitches as a consequence of this upgrade but please do report any you find so we can fix them.
The count down to our 2025 Show is now moving forward even faster.
17 Jul: A further step towards the 2025 Show is the first update to the Layouts for 2025 page. There will be more to be added over the coming months. The main menu plus the listing on the Layouts page also updated today with the addition of the Layouts 2025 page links.
23 May: (1) The initial site updating for the 2025 Show has now begun and will continue throughout the year. Prices are not yet determined; however, the dates are set (see header above) and the entry times for 2025 are unlikely to differ from those of recent years. Pre-paid early bird tickets for 2025 will be via Eventbrite as per the 2024 show. A new link will be added when the Box Office reopens.
23 May: (2) Only one item of lost property remains unclaimed (a ladies ring), all other items we had handed in have now been reclaimed.
