Hello all, I'm just wondering if there are any local 009 groups in the Peterborough (Cambs) area ?
Hi,
I see this was just your 2nd posting - so may I first welcome you to the forum (and possibly to the Society if you are a recent "recruit").
You will have probably noticed that there isn't a published Group in 009 News in the area that you asked about, however I do know that there are a number of Society Members who live in the general area and some of them at least are in the Beds & Bucks Group, which may sound a long way from you, but, although it will be too late for you to attend today, one of the members has organised a charity event "Little Layouts for Little People" 10 until 4, in Grafham, which Google Maps tells me is 26 miles from Peterborough.
It depends how far you are prepared to travel I suppose. There is a very active Norfolk and Suffolk Group which centres itself on Beccles, but has members from a wide area, including at least one that I know who is in the Peterborough area, and also a Heart of England Group which meets regularly in the Rugby area, both of which may be too far for yoourself perhaps. There's another one in the Lincoln area which is a bit closer than either these 2.
I suggest your best approach, unless someone from your area reads this and makes contact with you, is to contact (email probably easier than writing a letter) Brian Ellsmore, Society Membership Secretary, and ask him if there are members within whatever radius you like to mention, of your own address. He obviously can't put you in direct contact, but I'm confident that he would be willing to forward your request to members who may be able to update you on anything that is available for you in your area.
Best regards
