Hi Guys
Can I say a big thanks to Martyn Harrison for attending the Paisley model railway show and allowing me and the others to help him more so allowing me to take the Society banners along and represent the society I'm not going to mention everyone who attended you all know who you are and thanks again to Graeme Dunbar for allowing me to look after the banners
Thank
Alan
P.S the next Show is the 14/15 June 2025 at barehead arena
That's great Alan. Thank you Martyn for letting the group join you with your layout amdd and give us the opportunity to let people know about the Scottish Area Group. It sounds like the weekend was a great success, despite the weather.
The banners are there for all ScOONs members to use, so anyone considering showing a layout or running a ScOONs stab stand can have them. It is just a matter of making sure they get passed on to the people attending the next exhibition. We don't have an "exhibition team" but instead rely on individuals or groups of members to take on "hosting" a stand in their part of Scotland or location they are able to travel to.

Hi Graeme,
Bron hebog will be at the Scottish Festival of Railway modelling in Braehead in June so will be interesting to see it again
Thanks

Hello ScOONs members, Thank you for all your help over the weekend with my layout "Castle Caereinion. It was good to meet with everyone, many interesting conversations were had and ideas exchanged. It all made for a great weekend. I live in the Scottish Borders near Jedburgh, and usually frequent the Tyne-Tees area group. Many of you over the weekend suggested that I may wish to join in on the virtual meetings, perhaps if I seek approval from Graeme you may see more of me and let you all know what is festering on my workbench :) As an aside, before heading home on Monday, I managed a cheeky wee trip to Rothesay just for research purposes of course, in the pursuance of back history for a possible new layout. While there I was nearly run over by a milk tanker, which got me thinking and subsequently discovered that there was quite a few dairy farms on the island. Mmmm...may have to invest in a few milk churns!!
That's good to hear Martyn. Many thanks. It is a pity I could not make it to Paisley. You are more than welcome to join us on our Zoom meetings. You'll be far from the furthest flung member!
Our next meeting is on Monday. Details in this section of the forum and I'll try to remember to include you in the reminder email.

Hi Martyn
It was a real pleasure to be able to help out on all 3 days and thanks for allowing me to run Rusty and coaches over the weekend I really appreciate it
