16th of November
I was very happily surprised to find everyone there before me! I arrived dead on 11 am and found four others. We had a very good day, we did not quite finish the shed, but close. It is a real pleasure to feel part of a team and to help each other tackle the various jobs. We also had a visit from reporter Ken Rimmell, who took a group photo that should appear in Jan/s "Vintage Spirit" magazine. A great days work gents, thanks to Allan, George, Malcolm and Darren.

BMRC show November the 9th and 10th.
We were in attendance both days with some great stock donations from Tony Belcher and Malcolm Malins. Malcolm Chambers had procured other items to sell and the net result was a profit of about £177.10, a best ever result for this show. Many thanks to Ray and John H for their help, it didn't seem that busy but people asked questions and bought! We are out at 53 next Saturday to complete the extension, if you want to help, please do come along!

Hornby world.
Though not strictly a tram event, I thought I would share a few pictures of a recent trip to Hornby world. Hornby now own Airfix and Scalelectrics. Though a little out of town, it is well worth a visit, great train layouts and a lot of history on the various brands. There is a superb display of continental locos, such as Lima, etc. The shop is very well stocked. We stayed in Ramsgate which once had a 3 foot 6" tramway connecting it to Margate and our hotel was above the famous tunnel railway which once used the former main line tunnel to a long closed beach station. There is tram history every where you look! Don't forget we are at the BMRC exhibition next weekend at Patcham Library, see you there...
