Do you visit other Model Railways or hold workshops?

We have visited the McKinley model railway in Bournemouth, and Pete Waterman's extensive layout. We periodically have Tuesday evening tutorials. For example we have had one on surface mount, Jeff Pike gave us a demonstration of his radio controlled 4mm road vehicles.
