mdvle Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) Repost from a mailing list, for those who like the Rock Island For those who can't make the scheduled time the slide shows remain on YouTube for future viewing. Quote My name is Tom Hogan, I am Treasurer of the NRHS Iowa Chapter. The Iowa Chapter has been producing a series of YouTube slide shows over the last several months. These shows have featured a wide variety of photographers and subjects, however the next show may be of particular interest to your group. The February Iowa Chapter slide show will be entirely dedicated to the final five years of the Rock Island from the Larry Anglund collection. The show will be available for viewing on Sunday Feb 14 at 3PM CST. Here is a link to the Iowa Chapter YouTube page, where you can also find archived versions of prior month's presentations: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1BPUOehswCUydiOQ6twZKw Please feel free to share this with any interested parties.

RMweb Premium GW Jim Posted March 11, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 11, 2021 Hiya. I have signed up for this presentation, will try and get my head down for an hour before hand. Will all the time zones in the US change on the 14th March? Many thanks for your updating post. James. NMRA British Region Membership Registrar & Renewals Officer.

mdvle Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 Time zone change will apply to all areas of the US and Canada on March 14th except any places that don't do time changes (Arizona, Hawaii in the US - Saskatchewan, Yukon Territory in Canada) The North American dates are set by the US government as the 2nd Sunday in March / first Sunday in November and the various Canadian provinces/territories deliberately follow the US dates.

mdvle Posted March 18, 2021 Author Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) The Railway Modellers Meet of British Columbia will be virtual this year, with a keynote held by Iain Rice on May 1st and then Thursday evenings on May 6th, 13th, 20th and 27th will see Clinics, Virtual Display and Meet the Modeller and much more. (while the keynote is on a Saturday at 10:00am PDT at a guess the Thursday evening format in the Pacific Time Zone will be a bit inconvenient for those in the UK / Europe). Registration is now open, and like some of the other virtual meets they are accepting donations to help cover costs. http://railwaymodellersmeetofbc.ca/ https://mailchi.mp/d0ca82c86bd1/announcing-iain-rice-as-the-2021-rmmbc-keynote-speaker-registration-is-open-now Edited March 18, 2021 by mdvle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
