Hello folks!
My apologies if this has appeared elsewhere on the forum (and those NGRM members will find this post familiar) but for another fix of that convention feeling (albeit on a much smaller scale)...
Saturday 5th October 2013. 10:00am - 4:00pm

Hi Julien,
Please pass on to Jane that I am very sorry that I have to decline the cakefest invite on this occasion despite telling her at the convention that I was going to try to get to this one. What with an overnighter for Expong coming up on top of 3 days away for the convention then family matters have to take priority this weekend I'm afraid.
But not to worry, BrianE of this parish is coming along with some sales stuff and I'm sure he can be persuaded to sample a well loaded plate or two on the condition that he awards the expected and deserved 5 stars in next month's News!

I have uploaded the photos I took on the day to my Flickr account. The set of photos can be found at http://www.flickr.com/photos/julien_webb/sets/72157636252222053/
Thanks for the photos, Julien, looks like you all had fun!
It was a good day thanks Tom. People must have been hungry too as Jane thinks they raised about £350 from the catering.
Edit: Final total was £355.00, and Jane was able to Gift Aid the donation which added another £88.75.

A really great open day. Congratulations to all who made it possible. It was part of the Watts - White Narrow Gauge Grand Tour of Wales and England, renewing friendships made at Kegworth the previous weekend. The layouts were very good and the trade stands able to satisfy the appetite of fellow Atipodean and 7mm Narrow Gauge modeller John White. Thank you all for the invitation to the evening at The Swan. It was excellent and a great chance to chat over a meal and an ale.
With our Best Regards to the Group
