Last week we had the club AGM where the past years highs and lows were discussed so back to a good evenings model railways with a great buzz and feeling of camaraderie in the hall. We have welcomed nine new members and returnees into the club with one sad note on the passing of our friend David Bromfield who had held the post of Treasurer until recently since early in our inauguration in 2003. David was one of our founder members and will leave a legacy memory of friendship and laughter with his gentle style of wry humour and dedication to the club..
