The North West Meccano Guild (NWMG) is a group of enthusiasts who enjoy building models with the metal constructional system of Meccano.
Meccano began as long ago as 1901 under the name of "Mechanics made easy” and the name was changed to Meccano in 1907. Apart from three years during World War II, it has been in continuous production and sets are still available in the shops today.
The NWMG was formed in 1973 by six adult enthusiasts and now has a membership of about 40, mainly from Lancashire, Merseyside, Greater Manchester, Cheshire and Cumbria.
It is one of over 20 Meccano Clubs currently active in the UK. Further details of Meccano can be found on the “Meccano History” pages and of the NWMG can be found on the "Club History" page.
In addition to our two club meetings, we also exhibit models each year at the
National Waterways Museum, Ellesmere Port, Quarry Bank Mill, at Styal;
Ellenroad Steam Museum, at Milnrow Near Rochdale and several local Steam Rallies. Dates and venues for the current year can be found on the "Club Meetings" page.
Links to the web sites of most of our exhibition venues can be found on the "NWMG Exhibition Sites" page.
It is all very informal, here; no rules or restrictions. We get together, have a drink and a chat and a bite to eat. Share our ideas and experiences of model building in Meccano, sell or swap a few surplus parts, etc. Although Meccano is the main thing, similar systems like Trix, Märklin, Constructo and so on, also appear from time to time.
If you are interested we would love to hear from you. Whether you are a lifelong enthusiast or a newcomer to the hobby, you are more than welcome to join. us. Just fill in the simple form on the "How to Join NWMG" page.
