Mike Cook - As many site visitors will already know Mike suffered an accident recently and although he is recuperating in hospital is therefore out of circulation as far as Show matters are concerned. Therefore we apologise if you have not received a reply to a telephone message or recent email to Mike. If this is the case please contact us again. 

Knowing all the widespread modelling family connected with the York Show wish Mike well as soon as further information regarding Mike's progress is available to me I will post it here. John New Webmaster.

As a consequence of Mike's accident contact details have been temporarily revised and until further notice the relevant entries are as below.  These arrangements replace those printed recently in the model railway press as that press release was issued before Mike's accident.
