Hunt for a new home
After some 30 years in the same premises Tonbridge Model Railway Club (TMRC) finds itself in need of a new home.
We have recently found temporary premises but these do not offer storage for our layouts so are not ideal.
Our new home would ideally be in Tonbridge with parking and public transport nearby along with a space to store our layouts and other modelling supplies (we have our own shed). We rented our previous venue.
If you can assist we'll happy to hear from you. (use the footer on this page or the 'contact us' section)

Stop Press
1. 2023 exhibition
This appears to have gone well with several positive comments received from traders, exhibitors and members of the public. Thanks must go out to all members (including wives etc!), angel centre staff, exhibitors and traders that helped make this a very successful though very tiring few days.
2. Premises update
After the unexpected sudden loss of Age UK's hall we have successfully found (yet another) alternative meeting place near by at Christ Church Hall in the High street. It's much larger than the Age UK one so we should be able to fit more layouts etc. at one time. Address details can be found on the Contact us page.
