Upcoming Meetings
Committee Meeting Stuff
Despite the fact that the Webmaster was not able to be present (or, probably, because the Webmaster was not able to be present) a Committee Meeting was held on 28 May, 2009. Apparently, not a lot was said, but they took all evening not saying it. In this way, therefore, the meeting was entrely typical of an SRC Committee Meeting.
A further Committee Meeting will be held at the home of Mr Goodyer, set in acres of rolling pastures, on Thursday 9 July, 2009, starting at 2000. If you wish to have something of importance raised at the meeting it simply shows that you have absolutely no idea of what goes on...

SRC Meetings

Some people are so sufficiently disturbed that they wish to contact the Webmaster. If counselling fails and the urge continues, you can contact the Webmaster by email if you
. On the other hand, further counselling is a better option.
Believe it or not, there are some people who are actually responsible for all of this. In fact, most of them have not yet been locked up.
The names of the members of the Circle's Committee are available if you CLICK HERE.
(NOTE: Some people think that if you don't click here, the Committee will go away. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Like the poor, the Committee is always with us.)
The East Midlands Spamcan
Deep in the far-flung wastelands of the east midlands, the kraken wakes. A rusty camera is taken from its case and the lens is pointed towards a nearby railway.
It all started when Management announced over breakfast that we would be spending the day in Chester. I was daring enough to suggest that, if we were there at sunset, we could stand on the city walls and sing "Chester Song At Twilight", but there was a distinctly frosty silence.
This update has been a long time coming but I am happy to report that layout progress has been quite rapid thanks to the efforts of the team.
Visible trackwork has now been completed apart from a small amount of ballasting; the 'hidden' section of the main fiddle yard/traverser trackwork is about 98% completed, including wiring.
The Railway that ran to Newport
David Ford has been reading.
No, not "The Boys' Book of Girls", or "All You Wanted To Know About Blackburn" (a slim volume), but a real book. "A History of Newport” by Rob Prentice, published in 1986.
Specials at Stafford James Windows (Spike) has sent some shots taken at Stafford on Saturday 6 June, 2009, of a series of specials running through Stafford.
The Hon Treas hits Caernarfon The Hon Treas has reported that, whilst attending to important business on Tuesday 2 June, 2009, in Caernarfon, he happened to 'stumble' across a Welsh Highland Railway train...
First the parliamentary sleaze, then Linesider. Oh, it must be Britain.
June.
The sun is shining. It's almost warm. Mrs Webmaster has gone out. The phone is silent. No client is sending emails demanding the impossible yesterday. Just right for a little trip into the garage to attend to some details on the layout. Then - "ping!" and an email floods in. It's from Geoff and it has "Linesider" as an attachment.
Eastleigh Works Open Weekend Mike Topping managed to get enough Brownie points to permit him to attend the Eastleigh Works open weekend over the Bank Holiday weekend of 23-25 May 2009. He was just one of the 19,000 visitors to visit the event, which was organised by the Railway Magazine.
Steam Specials
This shows steam stuff through to the end of July 2009.
The Webmaster is particularly pleased to offer this service. This is not because it is useful (although it is VERY useful), or because it is popular (it is VERY popular), but mainly because the SRC Committee doesn't like it (mainly bcause it is useful and popular. The SRC Committee doesn't do "useful" and "popular").
