South Yorkshire 009 Group Open Day, Saturday 23 November 2013

[Krizzy]

With three days to go to the South Yorks Group open day on Saturday, 23 November, I am surprised no one has yet posted a reminder and an alternative for members not going to Warley. Stan Williams and I will have 'Crummack' and there will be others from the Red Rose side of the Pennines. I have said what date but where and so on behalf of the South Yorks crowd................!

The South Yorkshire Group of the 009 Society present "GRIM2"  at

I am hoping to attend, I see my Orthopod tomorrow, Friday 22nd, and hope to get permission to drive, in which case I will definitely be there, if no drive is still recommended, I will be reliant on my son, who is usually amenable.

Regards,

BrianT.

(I intend to have a small signalling section at Edlington....)   :)

Many thanks to the South Yorks Group for their hospitality and friendly atmosphere at yesterday's event not forgetting the ladies in the kitchen.
Although I knew many faces and able to put names to them I still wish visitors to these events wore name badges or at least have stick-on labels with their names written on.

Totally agree with that Roger - it worked very well indeed at the Convention and enabled many people who often knew each other by name or reputation(!) to put a face to a name and "break the ice!

Back to topic - I was very sorry that I was unable to get there myself and it appears to have been a very successful day. I hope that some who were present will be able to post some photos in due course.

I spent yesterday evening developing my wet plate daguerreotypes!   ;D

It was indeed a good day.

[Krizzy]

I thought you had a Fox Talbot?

Another of Garry's acquisitions - a 3D printed body - I'm sure Garry can tell us what it is - I didn't note down all the details!

An impressive display of modelling - it makes me remember the good time Marcel and I had at the Edlington AGM of 2009! Several well known layouts, a few of which I remember from last time.

[MickT]

Thanks Hugh, a great photo report - sorry I was unable to be there as, like Ted, I enjoyed the 2009 AGM (and the 2007 one in the previous location) - couldn't get there in 2011 either!

Nice to see some favourites and some new layouts as well. Nice to see that Brian Haynes' fertile imagination has not been dampened since his move from the sunny south a few years ago!

The 3 photos of Garry's models are each just showing as a red "X" and won't open on my machine - bad links?

Mick

[Hugh Norwood]

Don't know what's happening here - I get the pics fine (even after flushing my local cache to force a reload)
Garry also has the same issue...

LATER - sorted - this should work. Please let me know via PM if it doesn't Ta
