It was difficult to decide whether to hold a meeting on Coronation Day, but we did, and ten members attended. Most members were making models of different kinds, Graham brought along the “Shortwaite Hill” (009) baseboard as it hadn’t been displayed at Barsham for about a year.
It is only one month now to our narrow gauge exhibition in Beccles on June 3rd, so all thoughts are aimed at making it a good show. More details on the “Home” and “Events” pages.
Here are some photos from the day:-
