Arrive from 7pm, sit down 7:30, finish by 10pm. Each of us contribute a £3 donation to our hosts.
Meetings include some or all of the following:
- A presentation
- A session on a group project
- A practical workshop.
Do you visit other Model Railways or hold workshops?
We have visited the McKinley model railway in Bournemouth, and Pete Waterman's extensive layout.
We periodically have Tuesday evening tutorials. For example we have had one on surface mount, Jeff Pike gave us a demonstration of his radio controlled 4mm road vehicles.
