Title: Scotland Area ScOONs meeting 2 June
Post by: Ian McAulay on May 28, 2021, 16:02
Hi ScOONers

Time for another meeting!

Our next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday 2 June at 8pm. Graeme or I will let you know who is hosting. However, any agenda will be very informal. If you've got anything interesting to show, you can either show photos via screen sharing or by sending them to me beforehand. (PM me if you want to do this and don't have my email address.)

It's a virtual meeting, so it knows no bounds geographically. If you'd like to drop in, please do so.

The meeting details are below. As ever, please don't re-post them to any public fora or boards.

Ian

Many thanks Ian.

Ian and I will play host this time but we are looking for volunteers to take the lead on the other three.

If anyone wants to try something new or focus on a particular topic in a meeting that would be most welcome, but a general round up of recent modelling activities and discussion by all at the meeting who have something to contribute appears to be a popular format. So far, we have never struggled to fill the time.

Graeme, Ian,

I would offer to host, but my intermittent internet connection is still an issue.  (Currently not interrupted in the last 26hrs, but Murphy's Law guarantees if I committed to hosting it would be dropping every 10 minutes). 

If content is needed for the meeting tomorrow I can provide some notes on an 'almost' prototype inspiration from the Hebrides.

With all the excitement this week compared to normal (dentist on Thursday and a trip out to Keith to judge a school robotics competition on Friday  ;D ) I forgot to report on Wednesday's Zoom call. Better late than never...

It was a small informal gathering that nonetheless attracted international guests again  ;) with a roundup of modelling activities which understandably have been modest given the weather and work commitments. There was also a good discussion on P D Hancock and modelling techniques.

It is great to see photos of Brian's Vietnam NG 1969 layout that he introduced  to the group earlier in his thread on this forum.
