As members will no doubt remember Geoff, who was a regular attendee and worker at the RVR’ died suddenly last September.

At his funeral the mourners held a collection for the Society in his memory which was much appreciated.

On Saturday 6 members of Geoff’s family visited the site in order to distribute his ashes and made a further cash donation of £40 to the Society.

Ken Eyre and David Eadon represented the Society on this occasion.

 Welcome to the official website of the Rugby Model Engineering Society. Membership of the Rugby Model Engineering Society enables all model engineers, and those who wish to start model engineering in the Rugby area, to take part in and enjoy a regular pattern of activities related to their interests. The main activities of the society centre on the building, running and maintenance of the Rainsbrook Valley Railway located at Onley Lane Rugby (please click on map link on the contact page to find us). The society has a good well equipped clubhouse in a pleasant and well landscaped setting with very good views on the south side of the town. In addition to this members are involved in the construction and refurbishment of both locomotives & carriages as well as many other forms of model engineering. Work on the track, bridges, cuttings and buildings is purely voluntary, (although if we didn't all do our bit we wouldn't have a railway to run on). This normally takes place on Wednesday and Sunday mornings from 09:30 to 12:30 and at other times out of season. Meetings also take place on a Thursday evening in the Club House starting at 19:30hrs.

Membership is open to everyone that is interested in taking up this fascinating hobby whether or not they own a locomotive and whatever their skill or knowledge of the hobby is. Anybody that would like to join us please view the information on the "Become A Member" page.

During the winter months when there is no running, the society, as well as meeting up on a Thursday evening, use one of the evenings each month as a slide/film/talk show night where guests are invited along to give someone elses perspective on a subject. These dates will be shown in the calendar when they are known.
