Bentley Model Railway Group are planning to hold the next Calne Model Railway Show (the thirtieth) at the Calne Community Campus, White Horse Way, Calne, Wiltshire, SN11 0SP, United Kingdom. For those not familiar with Calne the Community Campus is NOT the Beversbrook Sports Facility. It's the original leisure centre adjacent to the secondary school at the Quemerford end of the town.

Once again as well as in the Main Sports Hall there will be exhibits in the adjoining Activity Studio.

For the duration of the show "The Italian Job Coffee" will be on site serving a selection of hot and cold food and drink in the public lounge on the first floor from which you can overlook the main exhibition hall. The centre prohibits the consumption of food or drink in the exhibition itself.
