The Destruction of the Pewsey Members' Day

[JulienW]

Just to counter the 'delay to the convention' argument my understanding was that the convention was to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the 009 Society which started in 1973.  I've just checked with my calculator and 1973 plus 45 = 2018, so am a little confused as to why we were celebrating it in 2017 in any case. Perhaps it just goes to show that the directors are just like normal human beings (i.e. the rest of us) and occasionally make mistakes.

And just in case the convention ends up being in August 2018 then please do not start a campaign about the 'destruction of Narrow Gauge Midlands 2018'.  Unlike Pewsey we have more than one suitable venue to chose from and can move the date if needs be to have a nice little members' day as a come down a week or so after the convention, much like the M5-M50-NGM event just after the last convention.

Equally I might take that year off! ::)
