The usual suspects – except Allan who was getting up for a 4am start at work.  And he’d been vaccinated in the afternoon.  The initial group of seven were soon logged in…. To be joined by a little ‘g’ – … Continue reading →

ESNG at work

Posted on February 26, 2021 by snitchthebudgie

Well, we might just be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel, and it may not be a train!  Club meetings could happen in a month or two, all being well, though there may be a … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – 3 February 2021

Posted on February 4, 2021 by snitchthebudgie

Eight members appeared on Zoom tonight.  We managed to keep conversation very much ‘on track’ with railway topics.  Must have been the positive influence of Chris, managing to join us for the first time. It was also good to see … Continue reading →

A very good turnout tonight.  We were missing Brian though…. Please accept my apologies.  I’ve just woken up from a deep sleep – sadly not alcohol induced. Strikes me Brian may have had the better deal….. We started with the … Continue reading →

Posted on December 17, 2020 by snitchthebudgie

Zoom again – the last of the year.  Just the six wise (?) monkeys, later joined by Maxine.  We did talk railways, but also marmalade and Covid-19.  We were, for once, undisturbed by cats.  Brian and Graham were unable to … Continue reading →
