September exhibition in Southport, Merseyside

Can anyone provide details or a link to details of a model railway exhibition supposedly being held in Southport, Merseyside, on the weekend of

29/30 September?

The event schedule on the page below is usually fairly comprehensive, but doesn't seem to mention this particular event.

I've been told that Norman Raven's Japanese N-gauge layout "Katami Mitsu" will be appearing, but would like to find out more details of the exact location, etc. Thanks for any pointers.

Rather bizarrely, yes. That's actually how the local rag in those parts of the world spells its name:

In this context, it isn't a misspelling of "visitor", it's the correct spelling of the French for "to visit" (or, colloquially in French, "to want to see", and by extension in English to mean something akin to "investigator"). In the 19th century, when that particular paper was founded, it was a fairly common term in English, but it's since dropped out of use (probably because it's too similar to "visitor"). It's in the OED in the sense used by the paper's name.
