Westland and Yeovil District Model Engineering Society
Events Programme
The Club holds occasional ‘organised’ visitors days, but more likely you will just want to come along and see what we do. Ad-Hoc visitors are welcome and the events list will give you dates when there will be somebody there to meet. If you wish to visit, then it is best to make contact first
Note: Visitors wishing to run steam locomotives must show a valid boiler certificate issued by a Southern/Northern Federation or other group club operating the joint boiler test standards, and must be a current member of the issuing club. They should also contact the website organiser or a member of the committee first. Certificates issued by commercial boilermakers or other commercial companies are not accepted.
