As far as I know this is a new exhibition. It was organised by the Mudgee Miniature Railway. However it was held in the Public School and not at the Railway's site. All proceeds were for the school's Special Education Unit.
The venue was quite OK. Most displays were in the school hall with a few in a classroom nearby. The canteen is adjacent to the hall so food and drink was easily available. There were signs on the main street so the venue was easy to find.
The displays ranged from basic to quite advanced however most had been seen before. Dungog has been around for a while but is always worth seeing. Duck Creek is another quality effort. Most were of Australian prototype but Croft Junction was British and one of the few I haven't previously viewed.
Most of the exhibitors commented on how quiet the morning had been. I don't know how well it was promoted locally, that seems to be essential for a show to succeed. I wonder if a change of emphasis to a hobby show as discussed in the last post would help.
It is a fine show for a small regional effort and deserves to be a success. But was it worth the drive from Sydney? Well not really but I haven't been out that way for a few years and the weather was great so it was an enjoyable day out.
