I most certainly would have come if I were in the UK. Any chances of a few photographs to share if you can?
This show will not take place until next February.
I presume you are want to view our event that was held a week ago.
There are loads of photos on the ngrm forum which you can join for free.
I am led to believe, it is difficult to put photos on this forum ?
Stan.
Thanks Stan, will check that out.

Not difficult, Stan but there is a set procedure for doing it.

Hi David,
I don t do photos on forums, its just when I ask people to put some on this forum, they seem to shy away.
I can only presume, its easier to put photos onto facebook and other forums, perhaps something to look at, if thats the case.
Stan.

That's is interesting. I've just done the procedure to post an image from Imgur using the "Direct Link" (2nd option down on the right hand menu) that has worked absolutely fine on NGRM for several months since the last forum upgrade there, and here, it simply comes across as a link - as below. No idea why. Clicking on the link should show a photo of the famous Rainford Ladies cake trolley.

Does it work now?
The cakes look good. I'll have a slice of chocolate please. :) :)

That's fine Dafydd. Thanks for the tip that you posted about this on NGRM
I'm trying another direct way now:

Eureka - that seemed to work fine!
Based upon your findings about the BB code that this forum uses, instead of the "Direct link" option that we all use on Imgur to post photos on NGRM, I selected the second from bottom option in the menu list "BB Code" which does what it says on the tin, ie it uses the same link information but with added img and /img in square brackets front and back, which simply saves typing it in separately.
SO, to respond to Stan's posting where he said that his local photographers tend to shy away from posting photos on the Society forum it is indeed just as easy as posting from a hosting site on NGRM is, except that they need to use the "BB Code" option on the Imgur menu which works in exactly the same way on this forum and uploads a photo directly into the text box with just 2 clicks of the mouse, one to copy from Imgur and one to paste here - so for variety from the Rainford Ladies' cakes, here is a Pewsey extra sticky lardy cake. SWOONS pasties and the much missed NGSW Victoria Cream Sponge can also be directly loaded up in exactly the same way..............

Looks good! Makes Aberdeen rowies seem almost healthy. ;D
There's a rumour that Dorset Apple Cake will be on offer at Colehill in December... (are these model railway exhibitions or food fairs? :))

Is that just a reaction because your Thursday Club doughnuts have been superceded by Lyndsey's cakes from what I have been informed by my insider spies David?............ ::)
As to the Apple Cake, not a rumour as it features in the just issued latest WNGM Newsletter Supplement for Colehill (2 December folks, don't miss it!). I understand that there are now 12 layouts confirmed as well for those that put trains as a higher priority than the eats on offer!

Can't be too definite about these things, Mick - imports(?) and deliveries of Dorset Apple Cake may have been suspended by then, there may not be any gas to cook it on and we may all be in lockdown again anyway... :) Happy days!
David.
(Probably time to give Stan his thread back?)

Oh, I assumed that one of our number who likes cooking, such as Patrick C, or Lyndsey would be scratchbuilding them. I do know from personal observation on Saturday that Lee and Lyndsey's garden is overwhelmed with apples at the moment, so adding 2 and 2 together...............
Indeed, Stan should have his thread back, I've got 19 Feb 22 in the diary Stan and hope to be able to make it this time!
Mick
We are very pleased to announce, that the 009 society sales will be returning to the North West of England, after a 3 year absence.
So make a note in your diary or your 2022 calendar.
Saturday 19th February 2022.
North West NG Exhibition.
All Saints Parish Hall, Church Road, Rainford, Merseyside WA11 8HE open 10.30am to 4.30pm
An opportunity to see lots of goodies in the flesh and you will be able to test the running qualities.
So time to start saving your pennies now.
Stan.
North West Narrow Gauge Show 19th February is Cancelled.
Due to a number of issues and the uncertainty of the current Covid pandemic, it has been decided to Cancel the event.
The Merseyside &SWest Group will be holding a gathering in the usual format in February, date to be arranged.
Stan.
That's a great shame, sorry to hear that news Stan. I was very much looking forward to being able to make a long overdue expedition north to Rainford. Hopefully there will be another opportunity at some stage in the not too distant future.
