Yeah, they did. I joined the club a few years ago. We're not in the building any more though as we, and the men in sheds, were "kicked out" by the council around 2021 as they were planning to knock it down and build a multi story car park in its place. However, we found another place on Bridge Street which someone was renting out so we moved into that. It was all going well until mid-2022. Due to the cost of things going up, the Men In Sheds decided to move out of the building and we had to as well. So we parted ways with the Men in Sheds group and had to put all the stuff we owned, so the layout, rolling stock etc, was put into storage at Carnaby. On the plus side, We had managed to book a room in ERVAS (a council owned community hall) for our use near then end of last year and had some meetings in there. Two years later, we've found a new place in Buckton and moved into it at the beginning of this year. We still have a few meetings in ERVAS though not often as we used to. The current whereabouts of the Men in Sheds is currently unknown.
