We're potentially looking at WIncanton going ahead.  Although, we're leaving it a couple months and chating with the Location to see if their cloudly balls are the same as ours!!

We're lucky in that we dont have a huge outley to start with, although with what may be required this year with addtional barriers, hand wash, cleaning, etc. We're need to weight it up

And organsiing, we have last years bookings and plan. ALthough no doubt this may need tweeking to various rules

All you can do is be hopeful. FInger crossed, if not, its already sorted for the next one!!

Morning All

Well, good job we knock this on the head when we did! Dont think i would of been a happy bunny now.........

Anyway, as a bit of a change and the the way most things have gone this year, we're going online.  Its only on Facebook, sorry, just havent had the time to setup anything else

If your on FB, why not post your layout (home or exhibition), building ideas, tip and tricks, for sales, club or association details, etc.  Anything railway or model railway related really, bit of fun as well, keep it clean though, we do have young eyes watching.

Doesn't matter whether you've been with us before, whether your from Cornwall to the north of Scotland, Ireland or overseas. Lets see what you've got, projects, how you do things.  Links to your site, youtube, upload photos, etc

Heres the link, guess gradually start adding things now and over the weekend
