History

The society has been at its present location at Broadstairs Railway Station for about seventeen years having moved from Hawley Square Margate.

After first adapting the original station parcels office to a new clubroom, the societies layout was transferred into the new premises. At that stage it was only half completed. The first layout to be exhibited was built by the junior section for showing at a local exhibition.

The society expanded to allow for more layouts by building a freestanding floor within the clubroom forming a new mezzanine floor.

An exhibition was held in Margate in the eighties and the society has exhibited at various venues including Wilson's Hall Ramsgate, Royal Marines Barracks Deal, the Centre Piece and Stour Centre at Ashford, Sandwich Guildhall, Black Lion Centre Gillingham, King Ethelberts' and St. Georges' School Broadstairs. All of the above towns are in the county of Kent, England.

The society is now displaying further a field and supporting our members' private layouts at exhibitions.
