In addition to our meetings, the guild also supports some of the larger national gatherings:

The International Meccano Model Show

This is the UK’s largest Meccano exhibition, running for three days usually over the first weekend in July each year (although in 2018 the dates will be Friday 22 June – Sunday 24 June). The venue is the Embassy Theatre on the seafront in Skegness, Lincolnshire. Our members take around 40 feet of table space at this show and our members are always in the top five list of competition winners.

The Henley Gathering

The guild is invited every year to this exhibition which is organised by the Henley Society of Meccano Engineers. The event takes place on the first Saturday every September in Henley-upon-Thames, which many see as the home of Meccano.

The Hainault Hangout

Whether you are a Meccano modeller, or someone simply looking for a great family day out, we invite you to come and hang out with us at the North East London Meccano Club’s annual Hangout!

For one day only, we're taking over the entire Hainault Baptist Church complex and filling it with amazing Meccano models of all types and sizes.

Once you've been inspired, enter our competitions and raffles for the chance to win new Meccano sets, generously supplied by Meccano themselves.

Refreshments will be available and our friendly dealer Dave Taylor, along with his long suffering and amazingly tolerant wife Marylyn, will be in attendance should you wish to stock up on even more shiny Meccano!

The admission fee will be just £4.00 for all visitors, and accompanied children will be admitted FREE. If you bring a model you'll receive our Exhibitor’s Pack containing FREE tea and coffee vouchers, plus one FREE draw ticket for our special exhibitors-only prize draw!

Midhurst Modellers Exhibition

Sunday 10 February 2019, 10:00am – 4:00pm

The annual Modellers Exhibition at the Grange Leisure Centre in Midhurst is one of the biggest displays of models to be found in the South. From relatively small beginnings in 1983, it has grown steadily in size.

The main hall will be devoted to model railways, including numerous layouts, together with trade and society stands and demonstrations. Other halls will house a wide variety of further exhibits including cars and other vehicles, dolls houses, engines, helicopters, planes, Meccano, military models and boats of all shapes and sizes.

The thousands of models on show, together with a wide selection of trade stands, will provide something for everyone, young or old, serious modellers or casual viewers.
