A very special guest ...

This year we are delighted to welcome a celebrity guest, Jack The Station Cat, the popular character of children's fiction. Author Alan Cliff is possibly unique amongst authors in that 50% of all profits go to the designated charity noted in each book. To celebrate Jack's visit there will be a Treausure Hunt, and special prizes for children. As one of the major draw prizes, there will be full set of the books written and personally signed by Alan Cliff. Included with each children's ticket is a FREE train ride from 'Much Purring' to 'Tails End' on the 5" gauge miniature railway provided by exhibition regulars Ride On Railways of Romford.
