DATE FOR YOUR DIARY
We hope to be arranging an ‘Open Day’ at the Club for family, friends and invited guests on Sunday the 4th August 2019. All hands on deck will be needed for this!
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
WORKSHOPS
Due to last years workshops being poorly attended there are none planned for this year. Instead if any member wishes to know more on a certain topic one to one sessions will be arranged.
If there is a subject that you would think would make a good workshop for members let Peter or Tony know so that they can look into getting something arranged.

CLUB SOCIAL EVENTS
Tony puts in a lot of effort in organising various social events throughout the year. If there is one you wish to go on please advise him as early as possible or if you have a suggestion that members might like, again please advise Tony. Some of this years events are:-
Club Lunch on the Severn Valley Venturer. Due to the popularity of these lunches it will be necessary to confirm a our booking within the next few weeks, so if you wish to join us "LET ME KNOW"

CLUB LAYOUTS
We are almost ready to make a start on the G gauge layout outside (weather permitting). Also the portable layout by former member (Dave Wooding) is to be refurbished by members hopefully for possible display at some point. More details to follow.

The last bit...(again!)
Can members return any mugs used to the kitchen, wash them and leave on drainer for others to use.
Peter continually does an excellent job in supplying/cooking the sausages or bacon for our ‘Sausage Saturdays’ his time is free but the ingredients have to be paid for, so please drop some change in the the ‘Tea Money Box’ at the club this pays for the food on ‘Sausage Saturdays’, tea bags, milk, coffee, sugar, biscuits, loo rolls etc.
All donations welcome!
