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.

Welcome to the latest entry to our blog, shown below are next years diary dates. I have included all of the dates for the whole year, but their is no detail attached to 3/4 off it yet. I will only be doing that at three month intervals, as things have developed over the past couple of years outside my control and therefore making the 6 monthly printed diary's useless. Please note, I will only be printing off limited copies of the diary for those people who do not have a computer.
