Hi Ross

Whereabouts are you moving to? I'm in Helston (Lizard peninsula) and don't know of anything in the way of local clubs or shows, although I must confess I haven't looked to hard. There's a pretty good model shop in Truro and also a tiny one near to me that specialises in model railways, he does a good selection of tools, brass, plastic sheet and mouldings, etc.

Hope that helps! Welcome to Kernow
