ESNG meeting – 5 November 2015

Posted on November 7, 2015 by snitchthebudgie

The pattern continues…..  11 members but no chairman!  Allan, we’re missing you, despite the thriving meetings. Following the news that the police want to fine motorists even if they are only 1 mph over the speed limit, Derek (the At) … Continue reading →

Abingdon & District MRC Exhibition 31 October 2015

Posted on November 1, 2015 by snitchthebudgie

I’ve just had a week off work, and a morning at a model railway show to finish off the week seemed a good idea.  (I had aimed to get lots of modelling done, but I seemed to have spent more … Continue reading →
