Our annual Exhibition is all set for 1st and 2nd of March 2025. We look forward to seeing you there!
Our club rooms are in Unit 12, Aqueduct Mill, Aqueduct Street, Preston. PR1 7JN (see here for the exact location and directions).
This is a comfortable industrial unit situated behind the Mill. Here the Society’s layouts are displayed and in use. We are fortunate in being able to have layouts set up permanently (if not at exhibitions!) and members are, of course, welcome to run their own stock on them.
There are refreshment facilities and toilets. There is also ample free parking, and a chair lift is available for those with mobility issues.
We currently have getting on for 50 male and female members. Everyone is welcome, however, junior members under the age of 16 years must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
If you are interested in joining, please drop in! We are happy for prospective members to come to the club a couple of times before they commit to anything.
The society meets each week on:
Mondays 7.30 pm to 10.00 pm
Wednesdays 2.00 pm to 4.00 pm and 8.00 pm to 10.00 pm
Fridays 8.00 pm to 10.00 pm
Note: Club rooms may not be open bank holidays; they will be closed the first Monday of October (for the AGM) and the Friday before the exhibition.
