Convention 2012

In January 2012, from Thursday 5th through to Monday 9th inclusive, the Whangarei Model Engineering Club will host the Model Engineering Association of New Zealand Convention.

Held every two years at a different clubs facilities in New Zealand, the 5 days of activities will see all National affiliated clubs and several International clubs or representative members attending.

As well as a huge variety of locomotives, steam, petrol & electric, that will be there to transport public and convention attendees alike around the 1.2 kilometre track, there will be static displays of a range of miniature engines, along with junior and senior competitions for convention attendee's to solve and present engineering solutions to problems posed.

All this will be fully supported by plenty of food and drink vendors, with other entertainment options available around Heritage Park all day.

Keep an eye on this page for updates. Shortly we aim to provide the ability on this website to sign up for emailed updates on our progress so you can be kept informed that way too.
