The railway modellers based at the Elmwood Centre received some fantastic news this week β theyβve been nominated for the Kingβs Award for Voluntary Service.
The club is the oldest model railway group in the Tees Valley, with roots stretching all the way back to 1948. Club secretary John Maddon was over the moon when the nomination came through.
Like so many community groups, they struggled through Covid, but theyβve come out the other side stronger than ever. Membership is thriving, their layouts are looking better than ever, and they now run a brilliant junior mentorship programme to bring the next generation into the craft.
Scroll down to find out when the club meets and to learn more about the wonderful work they do in promoting the art of modelling.
They wont find out if theyve won the award until November but until then, everything is crossed
