16 May 2026
Happy 2026 from the Thamesiders! We are excited to announce our annual Open House event, which also serves as the NMRA BR Summer Meet, taking place on 16 May at St Osyth, located in the Clacton on Sea area.
Event Timing
This year, we have moved the event back to May. Our aim is to offer members and visitors a better opportunity to attend, as June has historically been a busy month for many.
What to Expect
- Enjoy the chance to visit us and take advantage of our catering options.
- Experience model trains in N, HO, or On30 scales.
- Browse offerings from the local model shop, which we hope will be in attendance.
- Discover bargains at our club’s second-hand sales table.
Explore the Area
If you have not visited the region before, the Open House provides an excellent opportunity to experience what Clacton on Sea and the surrounding area have to offer. Some local highlights include:
- Swimming at the Brightlingsea lido
- Caravanning at one of the many nearby caravan parks
- Walking along the Clacton pier
With the Open House at the centre, it promises to be a memorable weekend.
