We were away for the weekend, so I missed Sunday’s meeting.  I gather that there were 6.5 members present, plus a couple of visitors from West Sussex to talk about Stuttgart.  But Brian faithfully recorded some of the action. I … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 4 October 2023

Perhaps it was a little optimistic having a club meeting four days after the show?  One regular was away, and two more phoned in sick (not from exhibition-itis), so only three turned up for the meeting.  We chatted for a … Continue reading
