No Bus Rides

Posted on 2 July, 2011 by

Each year the Sydney Road Transport Museum has provided vintage bus rides in conjunction with our event. Unfortunately this year this popular attraction won’t be available due to circumstances beyond the control of SRTM. SRTM and HMHS apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Exhibitor List and Plan Updated

Posted on 22 June, 2011 by

The exhibitor list for the 2011 show has been kept up to date on a regular basis but a new feature has been added. The hall plan is now available. It shows the approximate location of all the stands in the hall. The stand numbers have been added to the list too. The stands with numbers over 47 are in the grounds and so aren’t shown on the list.
The usual fine print that although correct at time of posting the list and layout may change (and often do!).
Go to the 2011 Exhibitor List to access the plan.

Back on Track

Posted on 20 June, 2011 by

It was announced earlier that the Friends of Australiana Pioneer Village were to be the major recipient of the profits of this year’s show. At a recent meeting between representatives of both organisations it was agreed that the donation should be directed to a specific project. The nominated project was the restoration of the railway. The train was a popular attraction in the past and restoration to operation would be a welcome event.

This is a large project that will require a lot of time and money but it is hoped that the show will get the project off to a great start. We are excited to be involved.

The Friends of the Village will have a stand at the show and will be able to answer any questions you may have on the village and the railway. There some photos of the Village including an aerial show showing the railway here. (Unfortunately the building used as the station is mislabelled as Kurrajong Railway Station when it is in fact the former Kurrajong Goods shed.)

2011 Blokes Day

Posted on 10 June, 2011 by

Part of the HMHS display at Blokes Day

Our HMHS stand at Blokes Day was a great success. We set up in the hall and had some great displays that attracted much attention. The stands only gave a small preview of what will be at the show but they still generated much interest for us.

We handed out several hundred flyers over the day. A couple of our exhibitors also had stands there and they took some flyers to distribute too.  We also made contact with some potential exhibitors for this and next year’s show. There was also a request for us to do a display at an event later in the year. We will look into it after the show.

Thank you to all our members who helped by contributing to the displays or giving us a hand on the day.

This Year’s Exhibits

Posted on 17 April, 2011 by

There are several new displays comings to this year’s show. There will be displays of Scout’s Badges as well as Railway Fettler’s Trikes.

This year’s show will have more model railways than any previous shows too. Many have not appeared at Hawkesbury before and at least one will be making its debut there.

A full list of all exhibits that have booked so far is on the 2011 Exhibitors Page. It was updated only a couple of days ago. Remember that there is still time to book if you would like to be involved. Applications close at the end of April. Any applications received after that will only be considered if there is space or a cancellation.
