We Have A New Home!

After many happy years in Rock Village Hall it was time for us to look for a new home. Rock Estates have been good landlords but unfortunately the floor in the Old Village Hall needs essential and significant work to make it safe and secure for the future.  To enable this work to take place we needed to remove Rock Junction from the hall.  Sadly this meant the complete dismantling of the the layout.  Many buildings etc. have been preserved but sadly the layout is no more.   Don't be sad this event has opened up a new chapter in the life of Alnwick Model Railway Club.  You can follow the development of our new layout on this site.

Newbiggin Sailing Club to the Rescue

After much hunting and a number of false starts we have found a new home in a dedicated room at Newbiggin Sailing Club. We held our last get together at Rock on Wednesday 14 August 2024 and held our first informal meeting at Newbiggin by the Sea the following week.  From now on it is expected that there will be some of us in the club room at least once a week on a Wednesday evening from about 7:00pm.

Our first steps at our new venue will be to unpack the boxes of kit we have moved over to Newbiggin in to various storage cupboards we were able to bring with us.  At the same time there will be significant discussions on the shape and nature of our new layout and we hope to start building our next layout in the not too distant future.
