Club Reports

Welll,, thats that then!! A quiet end to a busy year in the shop with just 3 punters making an effort in December.

We scraped in just £349.90 and sent £321.74 to the bank after the usual minuses.

We have just 3 Salt wagons left, but i expect those to shift by Donny at the latest.

I will be taming down the club Salt wagons for Donny also so they are a little less gregarious behind our lovely A3/A4 motive power.

I am at the thick end of sorting all the Hornby tat finally with just some spreadsheet work to do and final valuations etc. Yippee,, i can finally get on with some kind of layout to run all my stock on at last!!!

Thanks for all your help over the year to keep the parts flowing and the coffee!! (More on that at the AGM!)

The hobby is dying!!! Don’t you believe it!!

November has met with increased enthusiasm and our trusty customers have been back for more!!

We had a delivery of rotary valves from David Frith and a delivery of cast brass pony’s and steps from our supplier in Dorset.

Our salt vans have been as popular as ever and we are down to just 3 shiny examples in the ‘showroom’ now.

Jack really delivered with the Loco headboards and these have started to migrate to their new positions on Smoke box doors. One has even found its way to Germany.

Our gig at the NEC was well supported and contributed £491.21 to the monthly pot.
