ESSMEE East Somerset Society of Model & Experimental Engineers
Founded in 2001, the Society is a relative newcomer in the well-established field of Model Engineering societies. It is based at the Bath & West Showground near Shepton Mallet, Somerset in the south-west of the UK, and draws members from as far afield as Bristol and Yeovil. Members come from many different walks of life and are of varying levels of skill and experience – and all are still learning!
West Huntspill Model Engineering Society.
We are a small club of 40 members, with a wide age range, who share the passion for model engineering; this takes many forms Boats, plains, stationary engines, traction engines, steam plant but maily trains.
Our club which has a miniature railway of 1100 feet is based in the village of West Huntspill, just off the A38, between the market towns of Highbridge / Burnham-on-Sea and Bridgwater on the west Somerset coast.
Between Easter and the end of October we like to open our railway to the public, so they too may enjoy the models, a ride behind one of them, also take in the atmosphere and the smell of a working miniature railway.
