With all the best will in the world I don't think the January 2021 Train Show is going to happen. But not to be defeated I have decided to do a Keith's Bits & Pieces POP UP Shop in Weston High Street, for the whole month of December. At this stage all of Keith's Bits & Pieces will be on sale with a 20% discount across the board with 5% of takings will go to Weston Hospicecare. I am still short of some £18,000 to reach my £75,000 target. This will also give me the opportunity to put a larger than ever Alan Ward Collection (The Late). Wildlife, Landscapes & Trains ofcourse. Limited Edition Prints from as little as £20.

I am sorry for the delay on bring you up to date with the Weston Train Shows. I am in the middle of chemo again, I must have a welcome mate because this is my 4th lot of cancer. To business the January 2020 show was again very successful making £5,025 for Weston Hospicecare bring their total to £55,875. Again its thanks to my sponsors and you the general public.
The Castle Kids Club, their total stands at £9,249, not bad for 1/2 share on 5 September Shows.
As many of you know already I have been forced to give up the September shows because it's too much with my health and age against me. January shows will continue as long as I have breath.
Weston-Super-Mare Model Railway show was originally started to raise funds for Weston Hospicecare. Keith and Joyce
Price organise it between them. Keith looks after the layouts and traders while Joyce does most of the official paperwork and typing etc. The guide is printed by C&S Price Services, Keith collects the information and the advertisers while C&S do their part in laying the guide out. Between all of us, it works well.
Keith tries to bring in layouts that are new to the area and have not been seen before in the South West. This means that he goes to shows as far away as Manchester and Wigan but it does mean that he has a nice variety of layouts at the show.

Our next show is on Sunday 17th January 2021. This is to be held in the usual place at the Campus (behind Morrisons) in Worle, Weston-Super-Mare. There will be a minimum of 25 working layouts with trade support. Disabled friendly venue. Light refreshments served. The Campus is 3/4 mile from jnt.21 of the M5 behind Morrison. We now have an extra 65 car parking spaces at the Campus, 10 of which are additional disabled parking. There is a 4 hour parking time limit on all Campus parking. You can still use the Boots car park with a walk down the side of Boots leads to the Campus. A safer option is to use the over-spill car park on the south side of Worle station. It is well sign posted by me with the Campus 5 to 10 minute walk. The cost is £2.00 all day. We hope to see you there!
The January 2021 admission prices are:
Adults £7.50. OAP £7.00. Child £2.00. Family £16.00.
Year on year we have been able to tweek the show to iron out any potential problems. In the pass, it was all about the queues to get in. We have moved the pay desk into the main foyer and this will enable us to have 2 pay desks to get people in quicker.
We are finishing the advanced ticket sales and instead we are going back to the Early Bird Entrance at 9:30am at £1 extra, payable at the door.
