grahame Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 After an absence of two years The Wrecking Crew are pleased to announce the return of Wrec-rail next year. Hmmm, are you sure a genial announcement is right? Wouldn't a warning be more appropriate? Nonetheless, I hope it all goes smoothly. And there is no wrecking of layouts by the crew. ;-) G.

George Woodcock Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hello Mike we fix the admission charge as low as possible. £3 is so cheap it might as well be free but we just want to cover our costs. Anything left over is given to a charity of our choice. We are putting on a get together for friends and fellow enthusiasts not competing with the NEC.

lapford34102 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I suspect Mike's tongue was firmly in his cheek when he demanded OAP reductions. However Clive I would be on the lookout for someone in shorts, tanned, waving a fistful of Euros and claiming to be under 16..... Stu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broadoak Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Hi George, If you get really desperate and need something small to fill a corner I could bring Two Sister’s Farm along, as I don‘t have a booking for that date. Dave T has operated it so he knows what it is like. Just a thought. Kind Regards Peter M Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Woodcock Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 Hello Sadly Norton wood by Kelvin Barnes will not be able to attend but we have a worthy replacement in Sandiacre Balfour Beatty by Bob Bateman which is a OO 4mm layout of a present day On-track Plant Depot set in the West Midlands. This is something a bit out of the ordinary. Cheers George Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
