No, we didn’t start (illegally) meeting, but we managed a Zoom meeting.  Good to see people, rather than just talk on the phone.  There seems to have been some modelling, and quite a lot of buying, going on amongst the … Continue reading →

Sunday’s PlayDay was well attended, with 10 members there, plus Sean’s Lucas.  Derek brought round the new club corners, to wire up some leads…. And also one of his new ‘super dashboards’.  This one will link up with Peter’s station…. … Continue reading →
