Great things about

One of Britian’s leading TV and theatre writers, Billy Ivory, famous for the film Made in Dagenham has now penned a play about Market Deeping Model Railway Club whose ill fated 2019 Show was vandalised causing thousands of pounds of damage. The Club were overwhelmed by the outpouring of generosity by an enraged public and have risen phoenix like from the ashes with a new Clubhouse in Essendine and are on the verge of staging another Show on 13th & 14th May back at the Stamford Academy. The Club now have over 70 members and are keen to attract younger members to make sure that skills are kept alive. The Club have also been commissioned to publish a series of six books by Pen & Sword Publishers. How to Build a Model Railway is already out and another is due to be released in July.
