Hello friends,
This is just a short note to advise that the planned clinic by Paul Doggett at our next Calder Northern Division meeting on 15th August titled “Building Resin Kits” has had to be postponed to a later date. Paul advises that he is unfortunately unable to attend but will be agreeing with us an alternative date very soon.
Do try and come along to the next meeting, as we need to discuss how we deal with getting the DCC wired HO scale layout to Kegworth for the forthcoming Convention and who is available to operate whilst we are there. I am sure we all realise that the layout will still be in its raw state but it is a good opportunity for others to see what goes into building a layout of this size and the amount of tasks involved. Late hours running will be a feature of our layout each evening and hopefully it will perform well enough to satisfy that demand.
The new addition – the “Devils Creek” layout is now in place and working which will add to the facilities to enjoy at our group meetings. Steve Scott and Les Herriot will be there to give those who want to operate a run-through of the operational details.
For those of you who are not connected to the NMRA (BR) yahoo chat group I must inform you that the Seaboard Southern Group have sadly lost their club facilities in an arson attack along with many members private models. No further information is available so we do not know the full extent of the matter at this time. I have sent a message to the group wishing them well in reforming the group when they can.
Having been away for almost a month I have not been up with all the news but heard that Andrew Wicks had been in hospital. I understand Andrew is now at home and making progress. We wish him well and hope to see him at Crewe very soon.
Do make the effort to come along to Crewe next weekend if you can.
Terry Wynne
Chairman
