I had to go digging to find out it was six years ago when we had the best Saturday ever on the WSR thanks to @Captain Kernow and his wonderful organisational skills.

 

 

 

Looking back I see I was years ahead on the Baby Shark craze.

@Taz thinks I should stop being silly.

 

Can't believe thats 6 years ago!! That has to have been the best day out ever.

Well I am performing miracles! Being in two places at once !

not only am I locked down at home,finishing a K's 44xx

but I am also holding a can of coke whilst at Taunton MRC club house.enjoying the evening,

i wonder if being locked down only One and Half miles from the club room helped with that miracle

Seeing as I've had an official invite this year, it was (not) an early start this morning, (not) loading the van. I'm knackered already humping and shifting this 40ft monster out of the railway room. Good job I had a chance for an afternoon nap (not) and the traffic is nose to tail. Looking forward to (not) seeing you all there, and hopefully you'll be able to (not) help me unload the van.

I hope you enjoy this totally (not) serious look at how to prepare for the Virtual Members' Day! This is all just for fun, and is not in any way endorsed by anyone other than me :D
Do try and ignore the continuity errors; it's been a long day of filming/editing! That said, I really hope you enjoy this 5 minute video; it's been a lot of fun to produce!

I was coping ok with missing th e day at Taunton until you showed those cakes, and then, to make it worse -SCONES!!!!!

Guys,

Have an enjoyable day tomorrow.  Sorry I can't join you, but I will spend the day volunteering with the London Ambulance Service.

 

I may get the chance to look in, but I won't have log-in capabilities.

 

Enjoy yourselves,  Bill

A day out on the WSR is always a treat and we would have spent much if the day at our favourite station, or more likely on the beach watching the trains go by. My old mate Jelly is no longer with us but Jazz is curled up next to me ready to help me with the quiz which starts in 15 minutes. I've had a couple if Kim's stiff G&Ts already so will need all the help I can get!

Jerry, and Jazz

I apologise! Would it help if I said that those aren't actually scones, but my mums' delicious rock cakes?
(Because that's what they are :D )

Toolkit for finescale 4mm modelling packed ready for tomorrow... 

 

Just as well @Taz is driving, because this won't fit in my car; it could have been an issue tbh.

@Stubby47 or @AY Mod is there an agreed format for the layout topics for tomorrow? Do we create a separate thread for our layout under the topic?

 

Thanks,

 

Al.

 

Just pile into the topic that will open up after 7.30 in the morning Al.

Whitby is the worst for that; utter, utter b*st*rds there. 

 

You haven't been to St. Ives, have you? :jester:

 

Huge fat flying far-quits they have there which will see off anything Whitby has to offer!  

 

I am ready to not be there.

Thanks Andy, I’ll be out with my camera getting a few shots. Has anyone agreed to not rustle up some bacon sandwiches and tea for the exhibitors?

I’m afraid any puny South West flying interlopers trying to take on a North Sea hardened gull better watch out!!!

Do you know, I'm worn out after all this not driving and not socialising. I'll be glad when I haven't had enough.

 

What time do we start tomorrow? I suspect I may be late to the virtual day.
