ENGINEERING IN MINIATURE FOLDS
Engineering in Miniature has published its final edition. May of us remember the excitement caused in 1979 when the late Chris Deith published the first issue with super subjects, great contributors and exemplary drawings printed on really good paper. And so it continued under his direction for decades until being sold to its current publishers, Warners Group.
Editor, Andrew Charman, writes in the final issue: “Many readers have got in touch to offer such kind comments of the magazine and their regrets on its departure - your words were much appreciated.”
MIDLANDS EXHIBITION
Another part of the Deith legacy continues in the shape of the Midlands Model Engineering Exhibition.
This year its from Thursday 17th to Sunday 20th October 2024 at the Warwickshire Event Centre.
More than 30 clubs and societies will be present, displaying hundreds of exhibits covering a wide range of modelling skills at this last surviving major show.
There will also also be up to 40 of the leading model engineering specialist trade suppliers,
The competition and display classes are open to all from beginner to experienced modeller. They are free to enter and all entrants receive two x 1 day passes to the exhibition.
