Gweiadur Junction

So, a year on from our last post, a lot has happened. The purpose of this post is to update on the occurrences of 2024, and look ahead to 2025 and beyond.

Enough progress was made on the layout to take a WIP version to the Hucclecote in June, which was well received by all, and which the Juniors seemed to enjoy very much. The expected follow up exhibitions unfortunately didn’t materialise so the section was left to move on with a view to repeating Hucclecote in Jun 25 and attending Cheltenham in Oct 25.

Consequent to the Hucclecote exhibition however, circumstances changed significantly within the section which resulted in the Section being put into abeyance in the last quarter of 2024.  It is intended that the Section will be revived at some point in 2025 but it has been decided that the rules and procedures that govern the Section need to be tightened significantly to prevent a reoccurrence of the events that led to the shutdown.

In the meantime, members of the GMRC have continued work on the layout and progress reports will continue to be posted. The aim is to meet the exhibition dates for both Hucclecote and Cheltenham in 2025 and then further exhibitions in 2026.

For those who are interested quarterly updates will be posted in 2025.
