Further to the last blog, the following weekend days, a Saturday or Sunday, are available for the clean up, 15th, 16th, 22nd, 23rd and 30th of May.The inspection is the 4th so plenty of time.The area around the tram needs cleaning and inside the tram, so any takers?

Sorry for the delay in new posts, computer problems.Regarding the inspection of 53 on the 4th of June, I will be speaking to the owner to arrange clearance of the area. The tram is on a trailer, but there is a small tree growing in front of her and that needs to go.53 could also do with a quick clean inside, to make sure Rowan can access all areas. I am aiming for a Saturday in May, can anyone help? It is your chance to see her!
Don't forget the meeting......

Ok folks, the first proper meeting of the 53 Society is on the 23rd of May at 8pm sharp. It is in the rooms of the Brighton Model Railway Club, which is located in the main building of the London Road Railway Station, Ditchling Rise, Brighton, which is on the Bton to Lewes line.If you come up the steps from Ditchling Rise, it is on your left.If you come in from the platform, it is on your right.The meeting will refine the organisation of the society, and hopefully fill any posts left in the committee, so get along!

Looks like venue sorted for a proper first meeting, probably a sunday evening in May.Stay tuned tram folks!

Nothing new to report, but I am now looking for a meeting venue in earnest!

Good news, Rowan from the Bluebell has agreed to come down and see 53 in early June to give a professional assessment of her condition and a costing for repairs.We will need a work party or two to clear the area, so anyone for a spot of light clearing and cleaning? Dates will be set later, once the owner is contacted.

The 53 bank account is now open, first cheques were put in Friday.This is a two signature account, and at the moment we just want to see money going in! Am looking for a suitable venue for the next meeting, have had one suggestion, if you know of anywhere central, then please....
The next step is to organize the society, and get Rowan down to give a realistic valuation of 53s repair bill. This will entail the first work party to clear the area around 53, but I will organize more before any date is given.

Sorry for gap, away to see relatives.This was not without it's use as Big Ade,in-law, imports wood, and can get hold of teak or mahogany.If the framing for 53 needs replacing we are potentially covered, though this won't be cheap! Thank you for all your membership fees, will get back to you shortly.
