Ulster Model Railway Club to host grand open day at new Dundonald home
Ulster Model Railway Club will be hosting a grand open day on Saturday April 25 at its new home at the Inspire Business Park in Dundonald.
Everyone is welcome to attend the special event to find out more about the club.
A spokesperson for the Ulster Model Railway Club explained: “We are a Model Railway Club established over 60 years which has just recently relocated to the Inspire Business Park based in Dundonald.
"We have 43 members and meet on most Monday and Thursday nights between 7.30pm and 10pm. We have recently also started opening during the day on a Tuesday from 11am until 2pm.
“Members are welcomed over the age of 18, no matter your experience, as we have opportunities for everyone to get involved, running, building and learning skills and techniques to build their own railway.
"We model in 'OO' and 'N' gauge scale with exhibition grade layouts which tour Ireland and next year to mainland UK.
“Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council Mayor, Alderman Amanda Grehan, will be coming to visit us on Saturday, April 25, to open our new premises at 12noon.
"We would like to welcome anyone to our Grand Opening Day who has an interest in model railways and would like to get involved.
"We will be open from 10am until 2pm for anyone who would like to visit the Ulster Model Railway Club.”
The Club was founded around 1963 by a small group of like-minded individuals in order to promote interest in, and knowledge of, railway modelling in its various forms.
