EXEGOG 2025 SHOW & OPEN DAY

Sunday 27th April 2025

We had a great day for our show: the sun shone, all the planning worked, and all the visitors enjoyed themselves. We had folk from the Wimborne area (Central Southern Area of the Gauge O Guild), Bristol and Plymouth. Our wonderful members turned up trumps and worked like Trojans both in the set-up of the hall on the Saturday, the running throughout the show, and the clear-up afterwards: a real team effort, with lots of laughs in between times. A very special shout goes out to the ladies who catered for our inner needs not only on the day but also during preparations on Saturday evening.

Here is a collection of photos from the day, with the emphasis on people rather than specifically on the layouts.Click on images to enlarge.
