We had 16 members attend the 2nd March meeting at our base Barsham Village Hall, it’s where it all started one Monday evening in 2014. A new NSNGM sign, new test track and display shelves all helped to update things a bit, even though we are all ten years older. But Sarah’s special iced fruit cake went down a treat, and Pauline and Richard cooked us bacon rolls, and sausage rolls which all helped to keep our energy levels up, thank you to them.
After a few doubts about the exhibition hall in Beccles and also visiting layouts, our June 1st Exhibition is definately “on”, it will be our 8th exhibition there, and we will post more details soon.
