ScOONs Meeting 20th January 2025, 12 members attended, chaired by John
The meeting kicked off by discussing the forthcoming exhibition at Model Rail Scotland at Glasgow. Led by Graeme the forms were filled in with the names of those manning the stand on each day of the exhibition. Getting the banners to the exhibition on time will be discussed between Alan, Tom and Ron. Graeme also informed us that he has been given 150 Society leaflets.

Graeme - is continuing to work on his resin kits.
Ron - has been given a Breuer IV rail shunter and is thinking of making a diorama to display it on
Rik - has been trying out Anita's Sticky Glue and highly recommended it to the group. ( I think the sales increased during the meeting).
