Around 17 of us met on June 7th at a busy Barsham Village Hall. After our lunch we discussed the feedback received following our Annual Exhibition and whether to hold our 10th exhibition at the same venue next year….whereupon we decided, Yes. Group funds were discussed, including a kind donation from one of our members, and also several ideas for next years Group Challenge were aired, they ranged from various forms of layouts, to dioramas, and to narrow gauge models built on a small show plaque just 70mm wide.
I would like to ask if more members could bring models to display on the Display Stand – whether previously built models or newly built items. I am sure they interest other members and any visitors to our meetings.
There may have been one or two things I didn’t photograph on the day, apologies if I missed anyone out, but here are a few photos:-
