Competition... Each year we hold an annual competition when members may submit examples of their skills in one of several categories.  To help members prepare entries for the competition and to further their skills generally, we hold occasional "Skills Clinics" when a member will demonstrate a particular skill or technique.  Recent clinics have covered the weathering of rolling stock, the construction of etched brass kits and, most recently, scenic modelling for less experienced members. For pictures of the entries to our last competition, visit  Guidance Notes 1. A competition may be organised annually at the discretion of the Committee 2. The competition will be judged by those members present at the competition 3. A Competition Organiser will be appointed by the Committee 4. Each entry may only appear in one class 5. An entry form must accompany each entry 6. The choice of class for each entry will be determined in conjunction with the Organiser. Any dispute will be decided by the Committee, whose decision will be final 7.
