Hi John, would you like to add this to the 009 News? If so can you let me know ASAP (as the next issue is going to the printers on Monday), we may have space to add your request to the Branchlines section this month...

You'll reach far more members through the News than the forum at the moment. Please email me on contents@009society if you'd like to do this.

The S Yorks Group meet regularly; usually in Edlington - 56 miles by the looks of it. If you are interested, drop me a PM.

To add to what Hugh said, we certainly have at least one member of the South Yorks group that lives in Grimsby, and I think one from Scunthorpe as well.

Although we are the South Yorkshire Group by name our catchment area is much larger with regular appearances by members from West Yorks, North Yorks, East Yorks, Notts, Derbyshire and Lincolnshire as well as South Yorkshire.

New members are always welcome. Our next Meeting is on the 11th of October at Hill Top School, Edlington, Doncaster. 14:00 - 18:00

Regards,
Darren.
