Back to the normality of a club night, with 9 attending.  A particular welcome to Paul, visiting for the first time. It was ‘Terrier’ night again.  Simon was running a second hand ‘Brighton Works’ and I test ran my three … Continue reading →

A rather quiet evening, with just the seven of us at club night.  We were missing both the Cha(I)rman (missing on a milk round) and the Chairman Elect (just missing), and a few others.  But we quickly set up some … Continue reading →
