Annual Model Making Competition
The N Gauge Society held an Annual Model Making Competition that took place during the exhibition that precedes the Annual General Meeting. However due to a combination of logistical difficulties and the resignation of the then Competition Co-ordinator, together with the advent of Covid, there was no AGM and no competition in 2020, and in 2021 the AGM was held online and thus, again, there was no competition.
For the time being, the competition has been replaced by a regular ‘Members’ Showcase’ feature in the Society journal. However, if any member feels that the competition could and should be revived and is willing to volunteer for the position of AMMC Co-ordinator, please contact the Chairman.
