12 members attended our November meeting in Barsham, and a few of our merry clan were at the “Lowmex 2024” exhibition in Lowestoft displaying layouts. At the village hall our regulars were making projects, planning layouts and testing stock.
To try to get prepared for next year, we discussed our 2025 meeting and exhibition dates.
