At the Harrow and Wembley society we hold special open weekends, these enable members of other clubs to come to our site and run their pride and joy on our track. 

There will be lots to see as we may also have our temporary boating lake set up, if so boats will be on the water. You are welcome to come and see us and ride on the trains on the Sunday afternoons between 14:30 and 17:00.

The next Open Weekends planned for 2010 (The London Borough of Harrow has now given permission for these events to be held)

Will be on Saturday the 12th and Sunday 13th of June 2010.

and from Saturday the 28th to Monday the 30th of August 2010 inclusive.

1.  Miniature traction engines are welcome at both open weekends.

2. There will be train rides for the public on both Sunday afternoons from around 14:30 to 17:00.

3.  During the Open Weekends Provided there are no water restrictions, there will be a Model boat pool, 9.5 metres X 6 metres (31' x 20') and 0.23 metres (9”) deep minimum, will be available during both events. To save water this will be a reduction in length by about 2.5 metres from its customary length of 12 metres.

All these events will be held at the Club’s track in Roxbourne Park, Field End Road.
