2018 AGM
Just a reminder to all members that this year’s AGM will be taking place on Saturday 14th April at the Clubroom commencing at 10.00am (prompt).
+ + + + + + + + + + + +
THE LEAMINGTON AND WARWICK MODEL RAILWAY SOCIETY SHOW
Unfortunately the show had to be cancelled due to the adverse weather conditions.
Thank you to all those who had put their name forward to help ‘man the stand’.

DRIVEWAY TO CUTLERS FARM
As mentioned before, work will be carried out on the driveway this year. In the meantime be careful of the potholes and sheep which seem more reluctant to move out of the way this year compared to last!
+ + + + + + + + + + + +
WORSHOPS
We are always looking at ways we can help members in building their model railways so if there is something you would like to try or know more about then please mention it so that we can see if we can arrange something.

CLUB LAYOUTS
CUTLERS JUNCTION: Scenic work now well underway with tree planting, bridges, buildings, roads etc., etc.
CHIPPENHAM: As those of you who have been at the club in the last few weeks will have seen, the first of the baseboards are at the club. The track plan has been drawn out so you can get an idea of what the station layout will look like. Two of the five main boards are on view. More information on the Chippenham layout project will be given at the AGM. Appreciation must be given to Alwyn for his work on this and also to Peter P for his additional financial support.
THE QUARRY: Still some scenic work remaining but this is now able to run in either DC or DCC.
0 GAUGE LAYOUT: Track has all been fixed in place and the wiring and point control almost completed – Scenery and buildings up next so plenty to keep you going if you want to try the ‘larger scale’!
AUTUMN PROJECT: The Autumn Project is finished and is now being offered for sale. Once disposed off, consideration will be given to doing another project.
Don’t forget that assistance is always needed for all of these layouts or projects however small, just ask the project leaders who will tell you how you can help.

‘AT HOMES’
At some point this year the weather will improve enough that we can try to arrange some ‘At Homes’ (where some of our members have layouts at home that they are prepared to let us near)! Dates and venues to follow.
