ESNG meeting – 20 January 2016
Eight hardy members braved the sub-zero temperatures for Wednesday’s club night. Fortunately the hall heating was working well, and I think it was warmer than my lounge at home. Mainly the usual suspects, but it was good to see Roger, who seemed … Continue reading

Stuttgart 2015 #2 – Wordless Thursday
Sorry, my posting schedule doesn’t allow for Wordless Wednesday! But here are just a few photos of the N-club modules on show. A lot of old favourites, that come back most years, but plenty of new modelling to see as … Continue reading

Stuttgart 2015 #1 – The show and ESNG
And a very good time was had by all. All went very smoothly despite the recent horrors in Paris, man-hunts in Belgium, and threats in Brussels. If anything, Gatwick seemed quiet for a Friday afternoon, even in November, so perhaps … Continue reading
