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.

2019 Events Programme
Please note that the draft programme will be subject to change as some external events are confirmed and some added. The dates for the track running days and site maintenance days are unlikely to change.
