SWING 2010

Swing, an acronym for "St Wilfrid's Industrial and Narrow Gauge", is the Annual Model Railway Exhibition held by the South Downs Area Group of the 7mm Narrow Gauge Association.
Our second exhibition was be held on:-

Saturday 1st May, 2010 from 10:00 to 16:30 at

St Wilfrid's Church Hall in Bognor Regis

We had 11 high quality layouts following the Industrial and Narrow Gauge theme in a number of scales.

There was, as usual, anticipate excellent trade support as at our first exhibition together with society and local railway related organisations.

Refreshments were available and the Hall was suitable for disabled access.

We were extremely saddened to advise that one of our groups key members, John Hayward, passed away on Sunday 12th February. Despite severe health problems he remained an active modeller, served as the host for many South Downs Area Group meetings and was the inspiration behind that group's successful "SWING" exhibitions. This was far from the only area of activity for a man who lived life to the full. He will be greatly missed. You can learn more about his life and his many achievements here.

In his memory we decided that a "Best Layout of show" award would be made entitled the "John Hayward Shield". At this, its first show it was won, despite stiff opposition, by Keith Smith's superb rendition of the Selsey Tramway.
