The Museum of Fire is well worth a couple of hours visit for anyone with
even a vague interest in firefighting or old machinery. And, as my daughter
remembers regularly, they have a large collection of 1960's park play
equipment outside (Monkey bars in the shape of a shoe, a stagecoach, a
firetruck (naturally), a car etc). I heartily endorse it!

A "normal" meeting there would be good - we could have a look at the
machines as well as the normal brick-based stuff. And Penrith TRU isn't too
far away!

Not sure what this means - that they'd pay us? we'd pay them?

It might be worth trying for a day to start with, just to gauge interest and
attendence. It would have the advantage over a "normal" train exhibition, in
that we could display lots of stuff which wouldn't fit on a train layout (eg
Technic stuff, really big castles, really big ships) as well.
One day might be easier to organise, a whole weekend displaying to the
public can be hard on the nerves, feet and ears (having done it a few times
for (non-LEGO) trains).
