We will not be attending the Salisbury show on the 5th June. The club have had the first rejection of attending a show, due to being oversubscribed.

Latest update, we know that the hall was not used by that other group on Tuesday last (30th April). Also we can now use our room for the night of 28th May.

Another update, our club meet for the 28th May will be held in the main hall.

Update for our three meeting dates that have conflict with the church, these being 30th April, 28th May and 25th June. So here is what is happening on these dates so far.

30th April meet has moved to Pendon Railway Museum on Wednesday 1st May at 19.00,OX14 4QD

28th May at the moment on answer from the church as to resolution to this problem.

25th June  meet will be at a Pub and I would say the Nags Head on the bridge over the river? please let me know if you disagree/ agree to this idea.

Hello all
All status quo with the club, the AGM was yesterday and following a vote myself, Alan and Tim remain in the same posts.
Our club fiances are in excellent shape with about £1500 in show account, whilst the normal club account is in the black by some 450ish. I have given the thought to some of the activity's for the forthcoming year and after some period I have up with one or two things to do. These being a trip to Pendon railway museum on a club night followed by a visit to the local pub. Next a club visit to Bovingdon tank museum on there Tank Fest day over the weekend of 29/30 June. I have also been thinking about a BBQ at my house in early to mid June, only after permission of mine frau.  Some other ideas that came from our members, are that could we have a couple of kit swaps a year, which we have one a year at the moment. Another thought came from somebody else and that is again a couple of hints and tips nights.

One thing to note we have been moved out of our normal room and upstairs for the following nights 30  April, 28 May, 25 June.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all.

Simon Fisher
