Steve Warrington Back 2 Bay 6

GardenRail · Post by **GardenRail** » Wed Nov 19, 2014 1:06 pm

Steve Warrington is very poorly and the shop will be closed until further notice. The family (and Steve) request that their privacy is respected and would ask that no-one tries to contact either via the shop line or (if you have it) Steve’s mobile).

I will provide further information when I am able..

Yours Aye

Steve’s show on Sunday the 30th November (Steam & Mince Pies, Ramada Hotel, Grays Hotel, Telford, Junc 5, M54 10:30am until 3pm, Admission:£1.50 with free mince pie, two layouts and 12 traders. Free parking) will still be taking place, with family and friends in the hobby running it for him. Do please go along and support this event. It isn’t huge but is a good place both to get stuff and to chat with mates. I certainly, will be there.

So sorry to hear the news about Steve. I only met him a few times but he has always been a great bloke.
Should anyone be able to pass on my best wishes I would be obliged.

Steve Warrington would like to thank people for their good wishes and has informed me (via John Campbell) that he will soon have access to a computer and will be online again. The Telford Steam and Mince Pie show is of course still taking place and I hope to post details of traders later.

Tragic news! Steve has been a great supporter of the hobby as well as preservation causes.
Far too young to leave us, he will be missed.
