QUORN FOLK DANCE CLUB

Quorn Folk Dance Club welcomes any newcomers. We meet every Wednesday evening, usually at Rawlins Community College, but we do use Humphrey Perkins High School & Community Centre for occasional club evenings and for our major dances (3 or 4 times a year).

All dances are talked and walked through for the benefit of everyone. Although most dances are partnered, you do not have to attend with a partner - indeed many dances Œprogressà so you will meet other people during the run of a dance.

We also organise country walks and arrange short holiday breaks both in this country and abroad. It is an enjoyable and sociable way to get some gentle exercise.

So why not come along and try it out.

Day: Wednesdays

Venue: Rawlins Community College (and Barrow for occasional club evenings and major Saturday evening dances)

Time: 7.30 Á 9.30 p.m.

THE HEATHCOTE ŒOÃ GAUGE SOCIETY

The Heathcote ŒOÃ Gauge Society is an informal small group of friends, all interested in Model Railways (and ŒOÃ Gauge in particular).

Our sole aim is the staging of two Model Railway events. The first of which is a two day Model Railway Show which covers Railway Modelling in all the major scales, with full trade support from both specialist manufacturers and Model Railway Shops.

The second is a one day event for modellers interested primarily in 7mm (ŒOÃ Gauge) railways. We also exhibit our own layouts/models all over the country and visit other shows. Because of this we are an adult only group, although young people are more than welcome as visitors to either of our two events.

IVANHOE MODEL RAILWAY

The Ivanhoe Model Railway Society was formed by members of the Roll-Royce Model Railway Group, when Rolls-Royce at Mountsorrel closed in 1994.

We are a small band of modellers, in many scales who meet to build Model Railway Layouts, have friendly discussions and eat chips. We also run three Die cast Toy and Train Fairs in February, June and November each year.

Modelling or collecting, they are an ideal way to buy, sell or swap models and toys.
