Format<\/h4>\r\n<p><strong>Weekend Courses<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>We run weekend courses twice a year, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.missendenrailwaymodellers.org.uk\/index.php\/spring-weekend-2022\/\">Spring<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.missendenrailwaymodellers.org.uk\/index.php\/autumn-weekend\/\">Autumn<\/a>.<\/li>\r\n<li>The courses start on Friday before dinner and run until mid afternoon on the Sunday. With modelling sessions on the Friday evening, all day and evening on Saturday and morning and afternoon sessions on the Sunday.<\/li>\r\n<li>A range of topics are available to choose from, you choose one subject for the entire weekend. You are encouraged to wonder around the other courses to see what else is being done.<\/li>\r\n<li>Most courses are practical, you bring along a project to work on with tutor assistance, others are more classically taught<\/li>\r\n<li>A number of short <a href=\"https:\/\/www.missendenrailwaymodellers.org.uk\/index.php\/demonstrations\/\">demonstration sessions<\/a> are run during a weekend. These give you some different topics and a way to pick up some new techniques or skills outside of your chosen course.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.missendenrailwaymodellers.org.uk\/index.php\/a-typical-weekend-timetable\/\">typical weekend timetable can be seen here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Summer Retreat<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>The week long Summer Retreat is slightly different in format and is aimed at modellers who have projects that wish to pursue. The week is not run as a tutored course, however we have a few of our tutors on hand to offer advice and assistance with your project. As always there are other modellers working alongside you to offer help and share in the social side of the hobby.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Residential or Non-residential Options<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Both the weekend courses and the Summer Retreat can be attended either on a residential, full board basis, or you may choose to attend without staying at the Chartered Institute of Marketing in Cookham. Non-residential attendance includes \u00a0lunches, evening meals and tea and coffee throughout the day.<\/p>\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Aims<\/h4>\r\n<p>We aim to help you build a working model or develop a project that\u2019s well on its way to completion by the time you go home on the Sunday afternoon. Above all, we want you to enjoy yourself pursuing your hobby in the company of some highly skilled tutors and fellow modellers. Our courses are not generally suitable for the outright beginner, although the level of experience required various between subjects. The courses are ideal for the modeller with basic skills or knowledge wanting to make further progress or who feel their working methods need refreshment. This is an ideal opportunity for existing modellers to enhance\u00a0 their skills etc. If you want to ask about the suitability of any course please do use the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.missendenrailwaymodellers.org.uk\/index.php\/contact-us\/\">contact page<\/a>.\u00a0We particularly welcome modellers returning to the hobby, keen to make up lost ground after years devoted to family and career.<\/p>\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Keep Updated<\/h4>\r\n<p>If you wish to be kept up to date <a href=\"https:\/\/www.missendenrailwaymodellers.org.uk\/index.php\/keep-up-to-date\/\">please subscribe to our mailing list<\/a> to receive our newsletter.<\/p>\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">What Our Modellers Say<\/h4>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><code><div class=\"quotes-llama-auto\"><div class=\"ql2682\" gauthor=\"1\" gsource=\"1\" gimage=\"1\" gcategory=\"\" gnonce=\"d0ab6726d0\"><div class=\"ql2682-countdown quotes-llama-auto-countdown ql2682-reenable quotes-llama-auto-reenable\"> <\/div><div class=\"ql2682-quotebox quotes-llama-auto-quote\" gnonce=\"d0ab6726d0\" gcategory=\"\" id=\"loop\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/code><\/p>\r\n<h6 style=\"text-align: right;\">Missenden Railway Modellers is a non-profit organisation run by volunteers to advance railway modelling skills.<\/h6>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Railway modellers have been honing their skills at Missenden Railway Modellers\u2019 unique Weekends for more than 50 years.
