Events
The guild meets in February, June and October (usually on the first Saturday of the month) at Liphook Millennium Centre. In addition to our meetings we also support some of the larger national gatherings:
The International Meccano Model Show
This is the UK’s largest Meccano exhibition, running for two days in May or 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.
Discover all of the Meccano events taking place in London at londonmeccanoclub.org.uk.
