Mac Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 This sounds an excellent day out. Unfortunately I've committed for both days; otherwise I would seriously have thought about going. Hope your weekend goes well and I might see you in August. Mac. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Eastern Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 An update for the Open Weekend - Some of the layouts listed are in various states of construction which will go some way to show you how we construct our models. They will have appropriate stock running to show how they will run on completion. Please ask the operators if you wish to know about how they have constructed any part of the layout, they will only be too pleased to help you.

North Eastern Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 Five Days to go and still lots of tidying up to do. Where do we get all the rubbish from, I'm sure it breeds when we are not looking. We hope to see as many RMwebbers as possible so please introduce yourself and ask for me.

Hopefully the club house will look presentable. Regards Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Eastern Posted December 10, 2011 Author Share Posted December 10, 2011 First day over. The Mayor officially open our new club house and generally seemed interested in our activities, especially as she spent a considerable amount of time at the club. The numbers through the door was very encouraging. All to do again tomorrow, so if you didn't get today come along. Regards Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
