[Lancashire Fusilier]

Hi All,

Just saying a public thanks to Neil_S_Wood and SRMan for their hospitality in extending a welcome and invitation to their homes to run trains last Saturday. Much appreciated as I have just hit Melbourne and look forward to further sessions and seeing you all in Geelong for the show this weekend.

Paul.

 

[neil_s_wood]

No worries Paul. It was good to have you along. Hopefully we might meet up on Saturday at the Corio show.

 

[SRman]

It was a pleasure to have you here, Paul. I'm just sorry I was a bit distracted with all the other things happening at the same time.

You are welcome back at any time.

 

[neil_s_wood]

I'm hoping to do another running session at my place a week on saturday if you're all interested 7/02/09. I'll talk to you all closer to the day.

Not to mention the time it would take (que Michael Palin ?)

 

[neil_s_wood]

Probably not a bad idea. I'll see what I can do.

The bus would take a while too. You'd be substantially older by the time you got here.

Probably by as much as two years !

Hi Neil
Sorry to burst your bubble, but in "The Clearing House" (BMRA's in house magazine) there is a meeting of BMRA members scheduled for the 7th of Feb at Peter Stokes place. I would like to go to both, but as a shift worker I am rostered to work over that weekend. So I would miss out on one or both. It is always great to get together and socialise at these meetings and see what other people are doing and view someones new purchase. Highly recommended, as BMRA are a group that gathers socially at peoples homes and does not have formal meetings or the trappings that can sometimes be-devil other more formal types of organisations.
Cheers Manfred.

 

[neil_s_wood]

Yes, you're right.

I had just assumed it was the third Saturday.

Just as well you'd mentioned as I hadn't bothered to check. Well I might do something on the 21st then if there's any interest. See you on the 7th then.

 

[Sol]

Neil, the TCH does have it at Peter Stokes on the 7th of Feb, then March 21st.

 

[neil_s_wood]

You're pretty quick on the draw Ron. Did you have your TCH to hand?

I had to rumage for a bit.

cheers

Neil

Hi Neil
It just happens that I am rostered off on the 21st, so IF it's a goer I would love to come. Also get some more tips on how to get around this forum site. Still stumbling around in the dark at the moment. PS Frank might also like to come as well.
Cheers Manfred

Hi Manfred,
the 21st sounds good. You and Frank are very welcome to come. My layout is all DCC though so I don't have the facilities to run DC locos. You can still show them if you have anything interesting you've bought. Hopefully it wont be as hot as this weekend.

Cheers

Neil

In respect of Brians email I take it we are all going to Peter Stokes on the 21st as that is the meeting for that month. I'll do something at my place the following month.

Probably fortunate given the forecast for 43 degrees tomorrow. Even I wouldn't be that keen to sit in your shed Neil!

That's about 40 more than here in sunny Margate at the moment ! (& about 45 more than Central London when I left this morning).
