Zomboid Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) I'm on record as saying that the best way to get this off the ground is to actually hold some events. With that in mind, I'm going to grasp the nettle and propose a follow-up to Cromptonnut's May 2019 meet. No commitments required at the moment, it's just to see if it's worthwhile making further investigations on the basis that we all have fun next May. This is certainly not supposed to be a competitor/ replacement for the May event. It'd be in the general area of the northern end of Hampshire/ Berkshire, and as the title suggests I think October 2019 would be a good time for it. So, who thinks they may fancy it?

cromptonnut Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 If it's a date I am not working then I'll be more than happy to come along and play, be nice not to be organising something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted August 4, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 4, 2018 Good idea - and a location that is easy to get to for lots of people. Newbury MRS used to meet in a hall which would be a suitable size. Don't know if they are still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cromptonnut Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 (edited) Once you have a date set I'll gladly add it to my signature and advertise both. However, you might want to rename this thread, particularly as the word "momentum" may trigger the "no politics" rule Edited August 4, 2018 by cromptonnut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zomboid Posted August 4, 2018 Author Share Posted August 4, 2018 Need to get on a real computer and change mine... I didn't draw a line to politics, but you might have a point there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cromptonnut Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 "Modular meet 3 - October 2019 - Berks/Hants - keeping the momentum going" would probably circumvent all but the most pedantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Chimer Posted August 8, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 8, 2018 I've ticked yes, with the caveat that that's a loooong way over the planning horizon - and SWMBO's birthday is in October ……. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zomboid Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Yes, it is a long way in the future, and I'm not planning on taking much action for some time. And if anyone's wife's birthday makes a particular date not possible then it will probably not be the winner. Really it's to try and ensure that the May event is not another one off, and maybe making clear that this is the intention might help make up the mind of anyone who's wavering about building something compatible... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cromptonnut Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Really it's to try and ensure that the May event is not another one off, and maybe making clear that this is the intention might help make up the mind of anyone who's wavering about building something compatible... … because someone may think "there's no way this will be ready by May" and give up … however with another 5 months or so, it may just be the push they need to get on with it. Of course, once a module is "built" and at least useable - ie right height, track in right places and electrically function on at least the through lines - then further scenic work can be done afterwards. I find the push to actually start the board is the hard bit, once I've actually got the frame built and the track in place, everything else seems to become much easier. Alternatively, use May as a 'test bed' in preparation for the October meet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRC Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I couldn’t make the May meeting but will keep my eye open for this one. All the boards are still in the garage from the first event and only been out once since then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coxswain Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Is there still any interest in this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Chimer Posted September 26, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 26, 2019 I'm up for something sometime, but not in October. Have to admit no progress since the previous date fell through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
