LATEST CLUBROOM NEWS
We have moved and are now fully open for modelling!
For several years we have been actively looking for a suitable new clubroom because our Milnsbridge home was threatened by redevelopment, but nothing practical and affordable was found until the end of 2019 when the former Bath Mills, a textile factory was found in nearby Lockwood, much nearer Huddersfield town centre. By January 2020 terms were agreed and a lease signed. Work at Bath Mill by the landlord included taking out partitions in the former office space we were taking over, a new heating system and fixing major roof leaks. Then HRM members painted walls, installed new more efficient LED lighting, built a new kitchen and toilets, and fitted out the new Lounge area. Back at Milnsbridge the club’s layouts were dismantled, crated up and made ready for the move. The contents of the extensive Library were boxed.

After the lockdowns, prep work at Bath Mills was completed. The 'big move' finally took place on Friday 14th August 2020. Now that lockdowns have ended and restrictions abolished, we can now welcome both existing and new members to help enjoy our big new clubroom in Central Huddersfield. Whether you are an experienced modeller or a complete novice, there is plenty of fun to be had!
