Shoeburyness Model Railway Club

Mr Roy Ginn
Chairman & Exhibition Manager

Hello, My name is Roy I have been a member of the club for 25 years or so. and I have been the Chairman of the club for the last nine years or so, I have also served as chairman on and off in previous years. I primarily model in OO gauge. However I do appreciate all scales and gauges associated with model railways. I am the prime instigator of the club having a corporate image to present to the public, having introduced ID badges, polo shirts. I also work very hard on behalf of the club members to keep the club going from strength to strength.

Mr Glen Barry
Vice Chairman

Hello there. My name is Glen and I have been involved with the club for about 8 years. I have been doing the Vice-Chairman job since February 2008. I am currently the only member of the club to work in the rail industry, and can be found working as a Driver on the c2c route form Shoebury-Fenchurch St. If you do come to our Annual Exhibition, you will find me on the club stand assisting people with question about the show, what we do and how to go about joining the club. In terms of modelling, I did for many years model OO gauge, but I have now moved on to bigger and better things, and have for the last 10 year or so been mainly playing with 16mm narrow gauge live steam in the garden.

Mr Paul Turner
Secretary

Hi, My name is Paul. I have been a member of the club for a little over four years, I have recently taken over the job of Club Secretary following the retirement of Reg Curd who having done to job for some considerable length of time has decided to hang up his scribe and slate, but only after lining me up for the task, So What have I done to deserve this? although I must say with the help of Reg who I am sure will be keeping me on the rails, I will be able to rise to the tasks required.
So not much time for me to play with my G Scale now, which will please my wife!

Mr Trevor Grout
Treasurer
Assistant Exhibition Manager
Website Administrator

Hi, I'm Trevor and I have recently taken over the treasurers job from Mick, who has now retired, he will certainly be a hard act to follow!!! I have been a member of the club now for over 20 years, my main focus at the moment is with the Southern Railway Branch line at Westerham, Kent, the station however no longer exists.
I am currently in the process of planning and then building a scale model of the station in S4.
I also enjoy modern image modelling (tin boxes as some would say!)

Mr Jim Rogers
Committee Member

Hello I’m Jim and I have been a club member for just over three years, this year is my first as a committee member. My own set up is in OO which, fortunately, is a great delight to my grand children (my excuse) I have plenty of space in the loft and since retiring I have now managed to set out the layout properly. That is as permitted by senior management. My aim is to promote the varied interest that model railway making can give, as well as the fun, pleasure and companionship from belonging to Shoeburyness Model Railway Club.

Mr Richard Turner
Committee Member

Hi my name is Richard, I only joined the Club just over two years ago.  I joined to enjoy learning from others and develop my interest in model railways.  In particular I wanted to learn more about Digital Command Control (DCC), the latest and most exciting development in model railways.  I was responsible along with a small group of like minded members to build and run the Club’s first ever DCC exhibition layout.  We welcome new members interested in DCC and are proposing to expand the layout in the future.  
So come and join us.
