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 2017 the dates will be Friday 23 June – Sunday 25 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.
