We've just had to change the location because the usual rink is being kept in ice all year (this year only).

Brampton is just northwest of the Toronto airport (Pearson). We are less than two hours from Buffalo and under four hours from Detroit.
We are a short drive from the South Simcoe Steam Railway and the Halton County Radial Railway (Streetcar Museum)
$8, Children & Seniors $6, Family of 4 $16.

Just noting that our show is 2 months away. I don't know what layouts will be there, but we usually have scales from N to G, including all the British variants on OO.
We have had an Indian layout (the locos were British built). The guys from Virginia usually bring a Tri-Ang layout while Illinois supplies Trix Twin. Small layouts a-plenty with various types of fiddle yards plus large layouts. Layouts, demonstrations and dealers plus bring-and-buy table.
Probably a dinner on Saturday night, but need to book ahead.

The show is this weekend.
