February 2022 Meeting

Norfolk & Suffolk Narrow Gauge Modellers

I believe we had about 15 members at out February meeting on the 12th. We kicked things off participating in the Barsham Big Breakfast event held at Barsham Village Hall to help raise funds for the hall. Very tasty too, and I’m sure we will be back again at a later date. Most of the group were using the day as modelling time and there were several models being made on the tables.

I was not feeling too good on the day, so here are some below-par photographs.
