October 14th

Just to update you all on the latest happenings for 53. We had an excellent committee meeting last Sunday, courtesy of the BMRC with much being discussed. The trust/charity application has finally gone off, many thanks to Ray for dealing with this minefield of paperwork! Ray can also draw up a legal standard document/agreement, so we can save replying to the convoluted and pointless contracts of John's solicitor and we can put it exactly as we want. Plans were also discussed if we cannot get agreement with John, what else would be useful, as it seems a shame that if we cannot agree on 53 the effort and group should be wasted. This is very dark thinking, but crunch time is approaching, and though my meeting with John was very cordial, what will he actually commit to writing? The next two shows we are at will be the Brighton Model Railway Club at Patcham Library, Brighton on the 10th and 11th of November and then the Newhaven show at Seaford on the 17th and 18th of November. I plan to be on site at 53 this Friday the 19th, to check 225 and to continue measuring up 53, can some one help me measure and tidy up?
