I'm now seriously considering taking a look at the floor plan....

 

Simon De Souza is unfortunately now unable to attend, but I have just remembered (oops) confirmed Tony Barnes rather magnificent "Draycott Park Colliery", a Protofour layout that has grown out of Chris Challis's 2005 challenge. A serious piece of BR era North Staffordshire industrial action.

 

A bientot!

A splendid line up Simon although the poster on the Website is last years:-))

 

See you this evening

Before I say this let me stress that I will be doing all that I can to attend, but, is anyone aware that 16 July is also the day of the Bath Carnival??!    I spotted a yellow sign with notice of restrictions in George Street when I drove in the other day.   It was only luck I saw it as I don't normally drive into Bath along the London Road, I usually head for the Odd Down Park & Ride via Coombe Down.   I didn't even know Bath had a carnival and I've lived around here for nigh on 30 years!   Investigation has shown (trawling around BANES website, etc.) that there appears to be a sort of rolling road block on many city centre streets between 12.00 and 20.00 but nowhere can I find any information on altered bus timetables/routes.   This could also have a significant impact on car parking, both centrally and in the Park & Rides, also the termination points of the P&R busses (and the 6 and 7 to Larkhall)  as Dorchester Street and Milsom Street are both covered by the restrictions.

 

Hopefully this won't deter anyone, but I know how 'frustrated' I get if I come across something disruptive all unbeknownst like!

We have a carnival?

Carnival?

 

It isn't even carnival season. That isn't till October, apart from carnivals like St Paul's in Bristol.

 

What has happened to Bath since I left it over 30 years ago?
