[Stan Williams]

We had a great meeting today in Rainford, the first time we have been back since  January 2020.
54 no  members/visitors came through the door, just  one short of our record and we had 9 no new comers.
Tan y Allt was busy all afternoon with a number bringing stock along, hopefully when the photos are released we will see many
smiling faces.
Many thanks to Don, Frank, Steve and Phil for bringing their layouts and Brian and Les with the show you how stands.
David kept the kitchen going and then spent time photographing layouts & stock.
Mo s cakes went down a treat and the buffet did nt last long.

We do it all again on the  27th November at the Corpus Christie Hall all kicks off at  12.30pm

Our next meeting is  Saturday  27th  November at the Corpus Christie Hall,  starting at  12.30pm

We already have a full house of layouts,  display stands, show you how stands and the sales tables  (no more tables, but lots of chairs)>
THere is still plenty of room for visitors, so come on down and enjoy a few hours with like minded NG modellers.

Remember, you can bring items you would like to sell on, just have a list of items with the prices you want and there is no charge.

We are now taking bookings, if you would like to bring a layout or display for our first meeting of 2022,  Saturday 8th January.

Designed and produced to the top quality that our Upnor Castle has turned out.
Chassis slots into the body without any work having to be done, separate cab roof so you can detail and paint inside the cab before
completion.
Recommended for Greenwich couplings.
Current Price is £60.00 which includes body, kato 109 chassis, p&p and comes in a plastic stock box.

If you fancy one drop me a line.

Despite the stormy weather of the last  24  hours, we had a great turnout at our meeting in Rainford today.

We smashed the record attendance today  with  63  people coming along,  8 more than our previous best,  Brilliant !!

Great layouts, stock and a chance for members to run their stock on someone else s layout.
Excellent static displays in various gauges.

Big thanks to the guys who manned the kitchen.

The sales tables were busy with lots of cash changing hands.

We take a break now to refresh our batteries and will return  on  Saturday  8th  January 2022  starting at  12.30pm
Corpus Christi Church Hall,  Rainford.

Best Wishes,
Stan.
