Tony Gray Visits the Club

Current club president John Kinson (L) with life member and past president Tony Gray ®

One of our longest serving members Tony Gray (a life member of the club and past president) paid a visit recently to see all the recent progress that’s been made. Tony joined the club in 1983 and has been a very active member ever since until his deteriorating health has forced him to ease back on the regulator!

It was great to see him back in the club-rooms that he helped build!

2022 Mini Model Railway Exhibition

Sadly the annual WA Model Railway Exhibition at Claremont Showgrounds over the June long weekend has been cancelled for the third year running (due to uncertainty surrounding public health restrictions), so Rail Heritage WA in conjunction with the WAMRC are taking the opportunity to hold a ‘Mini Model Railway Expo’ on Sunday 5th June.

This event was a big success last year and is sure to be even better this year!
