Thankfully, we were able to meet indoors - this time in Lapworth village hall, as we are still unable to meet in our usual venue πŸ˜₯

πŸš‚πŸ›€ Several circuits of track were laid on the floor, which were operating a varied range of battery powered, analogue and DCC models.

πŸš‚β˜•οΈπŸͺ As quite standard for a G Scale Society meet, tea was drunk, biscuits were eaten, trains were run and much nattering and exchanging of ideas took place.

πŸš‚πŸ“† We're doing it all again next month, meeting at the Lapworth village hall. Rumour has it that next months layout for a day will be even bigger and include more electric points!

Want to join us for the Feb meet? πŸ€”
Invitation open to both non-members and members of the G Scale Society. Bring your locos and rolling stock to run (no live steam please - we'll get shot if we damage the carpet!)
(A small fee applies to cover room hire and the good biscuits ☺️)

πŸ“† 8th Feb, from 10.45am

πŸ’‘ Lapworth Village Hall, Oldham Warwick Road, B94 6LD

19/12/2024

For One Week Only!
We are back in the Scout Headquarters on Saturday 21st December
No layout, but we'll have a "Make Do andMend" session laying track onto tables.
Come along and bring some track with you
