Look forward seeing you a both shows. You can give me some advice on French stick for a proposed HO layout. I'll also be posting details of the Ponty show on here tomorrow/today.

Cogirep's just been set up and powered for the first time since Stow Rail in 2012, nearly two years ago, and after a bit of a track clean, everything looks good. The water has taken on a milky bloom but I think that will fade now that the layout is indoors for a few days, after being in a garden shed over two winters. Before Stow Rail I did quite a bit of work to it to make it more easily transportable and shorten the set-up time, so it's good that it will be getting out a bit more this year.

That's a blow. Best of luck to all involved...

It's not a club issue but one with the building itself

Spoke with Peter at L. & B. this afternoon.

.

He was unaware that the show had been cancelled - perhaps someone could let him know 'officially' ?

I'm sure Richard who runs the model club would have been in touch with him as I said we was only told our selves late last night.

Just by chance, I checked this thread otherwise I would have had a wasted trip with my lad.

Don't forget this show is cancelled, But it should be rearranged for a date later in the year.

The club has now moved to Carradog house Cleppa park, in a heated office building.

The club is growing in numbers and I'm looking for new members who would be interested in building a 7mm layout.

[steve fay]

The club open day at the new Cleppa park premises is June 20th this year.

I take it there's no word yet on opening times and other relevant details.

 

Right now, I'm not sure about my plans for that day - though it sounds like it could be interesting.

 

Do you know if any buses from Newport city centre stop anywhere near (preferably Newport "Corporation" buses - as I've often found their "City Day Plus" tickets to be quite a good deal)?

 

 

Regards,

 

Huw.

Il find out about public transport links

[valleymodeller]

I went and spent a good couple of hours there. Great venue for a club I think, good selection of layouts and only managed to spend £5.25 in between chatting to members. Hope this becomes a regular event and that the club made some money on the day.

I still yearn after Baz's tippler on his layout!
