Must ease back into the blog, but the summer church recess has been filled with work for the ESNG open day (more later) and lots and lots of gardening, catching up on things.  I believe that 26 large bags of cuttings have gone to the tip.  At least the brambles produced some good fruit before their demise!

However, Wednesday was a railway day, as we started with a working party.  A whole eight members turned up, including Richard and Brian.  The Derek’s investigated the wiring of the fiddle yard…..

Brian repaired some rolling stock, and Richard worked on his station module….

Others just sat and chatted and drank tea!

The Derek’s found the fiddle yard fault (eventually), having resoldered a few things, then found a broken connection in a plug. 

Work was followed by the usual chip supper.  Our local chippy was shut (probably Tommy’s annual holiday) so Allan tried the Salford’s one.  The portions of chips were GIGANTIC.  I ate some of mine and delivered the rest home for Maxine’s supper.  Allan took his home for a chip butty breakfast.

By the evening we had actually lost a couple of members, and no more came, so we ran a few trains and packed up early.
